25 Things
Posted on 28. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
It’s been ages since I’ve done a meme and I kind of got tagged for it, in that I was surfing through all the folks I link to, went to Michele’s, and she said that anyone who read the entry should consider themselves tagged. So here I am. Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are [...]

Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Four. I am having a love affair. It may be an unrequited love, though I have this hope that one day, my love will be returned. Well, if not returned [...]

On Hungry Days
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I don’t know if it’s the frigid cold, or the fact that I hardly ate real food yesterday, but I am having one of those hungry days today. No matter what I eat, it isn’t satisfying me – at least not for long. Seriously. Yesterday, I survived on mostly on meal replacements (protein bars, protein [...]

All of Those Tourists…
Posted on 26. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
On the way to taking the 13-year-old to school this morning, the IPod Song God of Shuffle played Margaritaville. “They played that song over and over on the cruise. Almost too much.“ She had gone on a cruise with her dad and step mom this summer. I smiled. “Well, it’s Jimmy Buffet and it is [...]

Gypsy Soul
Posted on 25. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I am feeling the longings of my gypsy soul more the last few days than I have in awhile. Despite the quick trip to El Paso last weekend, I haven’t really traveled anywhere since late December. I am feeling a little stir-crazy, despite the fact that I have been out and about…and despite the fact [...]

So, a Confession
Posted on 24. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
So, I mentioned the other day that I had done a short stint on Match.Com. I say short because I lasted about 3 weeks, went on several coffee / drink dates, went on some regular dates, and then decided to hide my profile. I’m not opposed to dating, but when I looked at the amount [...]

This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Three. It was day five of the longest week I’d experienced in ages. I am an experienced Road Warrior Princess and successfully (and usually happily) had lived out of a [...]

Blogging and Blogging “lite”
Posted on 21. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Sometimes, I feel like I do nothing but do “lite” blogging. It isn’t that the blogs don’t have content and aren’t interesting in some ways, at least I hope they fit that bill, but I don’t write about what’s really filling up my head. Pretty much, I wake up happy each day. I am blessed [...]

Week Two of 52 Stories: A Guy Named Dave
Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Two. I love talking to Veteran’s, especially those from the WWII era. They proudly wear their hats that announce them a WWII Vet and are often willing to spend a [...]

Experiments
Posted on 17. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Using the Blackberry for blog posts may or may not work. We shall see. I am so glad that they took the fans from the house today. It was suddenly…silent. Beginning Monday, I will attempt to get things put back together. Sheet rock, painting, flooring, etc. Replacing the bookshelves is a neccesity since the contents [...]

of Long Days and Quiet Nights
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I have had a bit of an adventure today in home maintenance / home repair stuff. A couple of days ago, I got a brand new toilet in the front bathroom to deal with a minute crack in the tank which had been dripping water onto [...]

Busy-ness of the Day
Posted on 14. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I squeezed a whole heck of a lot of stuff into my day when I think about it. I went to the gym and did a weight workout, my stretching, and 20 minutes of cardio. I exchanged a picture frame and returned some clothes, played 11 holes of golf and attended a meeting at school [...]

Fashion and Function
Posted on 13. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I was luck enough to play golf with one of my best friends yesterday. We only had time for 9 holes, but any time on the golf course is better than any time at work. I am a true beginner with less than three rounds under my belt in the last few years, though I [...]

The Love Bank
Posted on 13. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
When it comes to relationships, there are times when I am reminded that, like it or not, there is a love bank. No one talks about them, or even admits that they exist. But they are there…usually silent and in the background. it’s in every relationship we are in. The relationships with our spouses or [...]

Full Moon & Mercury in Retrograde
Posted on 11. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Last night was the actual “full moon”, though if you gaze up into the sky tonight, the great beautiful orb in the sky is amazing… Last night at midnight was the moment when Mercury went into Retrograde. The first of 2009. So, what exactly does it mean when Mercury is in retrograde? Well, it means [...]
