    March 23, 2019

    I’ve had an interesting (for me) last couple of days, at work and at home. Drake’s been super sick, so he hasn’t had the strength to put up a fight when I put something weird on TV. We watched a lot of TV since getting home from our cruise – I caught up on four […]

  • Life is too short

    January 23, 2017

    So my former co-worker died this weekend. His name was Bradford Frost, and we worked at United Way together. He was only 35. He was way better than me. I remember seeing him at 1212 Griswold, taking the elevator up together, and he was so young and handsome, at first I just wondered who he […]

  • Last Minute Costumes

    October 24, 2015

    We had big plans for Halloween this year. We had big hopes and dreams. He wanted to sew his own costume, completely from scratch. I didn’t have those guts, but I did have the guts to ask my seamstress neighbor if I could commission a custom handmade dress from her as part of my costume. […]

  • “Do you struggle with the pace of a modern life?”

    June 11, 2015

    I know what you mean. I do struggle with the pace of a modern life, the pace that’s expected of me as a full-time working American adult. I don’t have kids, either, and I know that adds another layer of depth to all of it. My biggest struggle is in asking myself if this is […]

  • My Favorite Breakfast

My Favorite Breakfast – Veggie & Egg White Muffin Cups Makes 20-24 egg cups. 1 large sweet onion 1 large bell pepper (any color) 12-15 […]

  • Countdown: Ten Days to Paris

    April 8, 2015

    In 10 days, Drake and I will be heading off on our Parisian vacation. The past many weeks have flown by in anticipation of this trip. There’s a lot I’ve wanted to do beforehand that I didn’t do (uhhh, learn a language), but at the end of the day, it’s almost here and we’re doin’ […]

  • Fifteen minutes of freewriting

    March 11, 2015

    Today I’m struggling with the idea of self esteem, which according to my Self Esteem Guided Journal, starts out by practicing nonjudgment of other people. Earlier today I made a list of sincere questions that I’m wondering about. How do you forgive someone without just rationalizing their behavior? Is rationalizing their behavior, or “explaining it […]

  • accidental emergency

    September 30, 2014

    I answered the main phone line earlier today, and the caller ID said “Novi Police Department.” That’s not good, right? So the police person on the phone said she’d received a hang-up call to 9-1-1 and she needed to know if everything was OK. I’m the operator. How would I know whether some stupid coworker […]

  • Weird Dreams

    September 23, 2014

    On Sunday night, I had a dream that I was applying liquid Wite-Out correction fluid to my lips with a regular Wite-Out brush. This, in my dream mind, would serve as a foundation for my lipstick. It felt just like you’d imagine it would feel. On Monday night, I had a dream that I dyed […]
