Keeping Busy
Posted on 05. Jun, 2010 by Deb.
In the middle of dealing with the arrangements for my mother’s funeral, I mentioned to a couple of friends that the best way for me to deal with my grief was to keep busy. I need the moments of complete quiet wedged between talking with my friends and getting things accomplished. Not that my mind [...]

For others, it’s a time to celebrate the memories of those who gave their lives in service to their country. Originally called “Decoration Day”, origins are traced back [...]

Banana Pudding
Posted on 30. May, 2010 by Deb.
At times, we must return to the roots of our childhood. In my family, those roots often lead to food. Since both of my folks have become way too thin, I made some banana pudding….from my great-grandmother’s recipe. Don’t even try to count the calories here….and if you make it, don’t try to make a [...]

Another Year Older
Posted on 30. May, 2010 by Deb.
I turned 42 last week. I gave full reign to my Gypsy Soul and Workaholic Personality on my birthday: boarded a plane at 5:45 AM and was in a meeting in Philadelphia by 12:30 and ended the day with a dinner meeting, which put me getting to bed around 1 AM. It was a good [...]

Pardon Me, Darlin
Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Deb.
Please forgive me if I call you darlin. I confess that if you work in the service industry, it’s possible that I will thank you and call you darlin. Or accidentally bump into you, and apologize and call you sweetie. Or honey. I don’t mean it to be offensive. I’m Southern. I likely cannot see [...]

Restoring the Past
Posted on 06. May, 2010 by Deb.
When I moved blogs from my dot net to this domain, I deleted more blog posts than I imported back in. At the time, I had felt I was making the right decision as the man I was seeing was jealous of the men in my past, some of which (The Pilot Guy specifically). I [...]

Guilty as Charged
Posted on 05. May, 2010 by Deb.
I was complaining this morning about moving too slow. I had a headache. Felt all kinds of draggy. I had no motivation and found myself slacking more and getting less done. I didn’t understand it. Beyond the headache, which took all day to shake, there was no reason for me to feel so sluggish After [...]

So Good To Me
Posted on 03. May, 2010 by Deb.
For the first time in weeks, I stayed up the first time I woke today. Usually, the animals wake me between 5:30 and 6:30 to remind me that they are in need of food right now. Today, it was 6:05 AM. Instead of feeding everyone, keeping my eyes closed to keep the light out and [...]

In the Vein of Being Public with My Goals
Posted on 02. May, 2010 by Deb.
It’s Sunday morning. It’s the perfect day for sleeping in thanks to the cloudy skies and the almost-rainy feeling in the air, My body is doing that lanquid pull back to my bed, insisting that the mattress is what Goldilocks would wish for (not too soft but not too hard) and the sheets have that [...]
