Open Book…Kinda

A writer writes.  At least that is what I am constantly reminding myself.
And sometimes, they write about their own life issues, as I have been known to do on occasion.
My goal is not to offend, it is simply to tell MY truth or MY story.  
Sometimes my story intersects with someone else’s and then I have some decisions to make.  First of all I have to decide if I’m going to tell the story.  Then I have to decide how to tell the story.  And finally, I have to decide when …

And A Child Shall Lead Me…

kicking and screaming into a healthier lifestyle.  
The Girl announced last week that she was no longer going eat beef or pork.  This is not the first time.  Somewhere around 2007 she decided that she was going to become a vegetarian.  It lasted about 8 months (way longer than I would have been able to hold out for).  She fell off the wagon quite suddenly.  I came home from work one Friday evening and asked what she wanted for dinner and she said a burger from Burger King.

The Second Time Around

I went to the wedding of my former sister-in-law this weekend. This is her second marriage, and she looked REALLY happy.  And the groom looked REALLY happy.  And it made me think that sometimes when I go to weddings, neither party looks REALLY happy about what they are doing.
It could be that one or both parties are hung over from the bachelor/bachelorette parties.
Or it could be that they are just very serious people.
Or  very nervous people.
But really, when I think about some of the weddings I’ve been to over the …

Makeover- Not!

When things aren’t going well in one area of life for me, I usually start looking for ways to improve every other area in life.
A couple of weeks ago, I started thinking that maybe I needed a website makeover.
Nothing drastic, just a little reorganization.  Move some stuff around.  I did it at the beginning of the year and was really pleased with the outcome. So what’s the big deal, right?
