My friends, I’m in big trouble! Safeway has started up their ‘Monopoly’ game again. This is not good! I am a sucker for free stuff and I know that if I ‘play’, I am bound to get some free stuff, even if it’s just some bottled water, aspirin, and a canister of salt. I cannotContinue reading “March 10, 2021 – Safeway Monopoly”

March 7, 2021 – When it’s time (Part One)
Did you ever meet someone when you were very young that you considered a friend? Not just any ol’ friend, your best friend. They became nearly interwoven in your life because they were always ‘there’ when you needed them. Every birthday, every anniversary, and every Christmas, a card or cards word arrive in the mail.Continue reading “March 7, 2021 – When it’s time (Part One)”
March 6, 2021 – Love and Marriage
So many times I could have thrown in the towel. So many times. We met when we were both incredibly young, just 19 and newly ‘out in the world’. Initially, I wasn’t the least bit attracted to him. I always gravitated toward ‘bad boys’ and he was far too nice to fit into that category.Continue reading “March 6, 2021 – Love and Marriage”
March 5, 2021 – Psychic Connections
Do you ever find yourself thinking a great deal about a specific person and then out of the blue, they reach out? Or, on the other hand, you reach out and they reply with, “How funny! You’ve been on my mind all week!” The means of connecting can be through a phone call or aContinue reading “March 5, 2021 – Psychic Connections”
March 4, 2021 – Thrown for a loop.
Would you like to know the best way to throw me for a loop? If you don’t know, I will gladly tell you. First, give me a minimum of two things to choose between. Let’s say, for instance, you have asked me to choose between two restaurants to dine at. Be aware that the moreContinue reading “March 4, 2021 – Thrown for a loop.”
March 3 , 2021 – The Five Stages of Grief
As I sit in a place of acceptance today, I realize that I literally just went through the five stages of grief. In the last 5 days, I have experienced every stage. Denial. Been there. Anger. Done that. Bargaining. Yep. Depression. You better believe it. Acceptance. Uh-huh. You would think a special person or petContinue reading “March 3 , 2021 – The Five Stages of Grief”
March 2, 2021 – Why must life be so complicated?
Sorry, my friends, I am here to rant today because I simply don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m about to crack. My husband is tired of me talking incessantly about the insurance snafus so I don’t want to burden him any more. Ordinarily, if I cannot make sense of things afterContinue reading “March 2, 2021 – Why must life be so complicated?”
February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.
I thought a great deal about what I wrote yesterday and how much the situation really riled me. I’ve lost two solid days allowing it to consume me, and for what??!! Yes, anytime I am ‘surprised’ by an unexpected bill, I get a little worked up. I hate to admit it, but that’s not theContinue reading “February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.”
February 27, 2021 – Insurance and Billing Blunders
I feel like an emotional basket case. Whether it’s due to the full moon or other matters, I cannot be certain. If I could help you understand what I mean by ’emotional basket case’, I would describe it as much like what Humpty-Dumpty experienced before he plummeted to the ground below and shattered into aContinue reading “February 27, 2021 – Insurance and Billing Blunders”
February 26, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part Two)
So where did I leave off? Oh, yes! I was talking about the ‘Big Blue Marble’ TV show that used to air on PBS in the 70s and 80s and how I wrote the show (when I was in middle school) and requested a pen pal. After I graduated high school, my mom took meContinue reading “February 26, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part Two)”
