I have been with Mercury Man 11 years, married for 8, and I have been through the war with his mother and back. We have both undergone a lot growth and maturity so that has helped a great deal. Here are some things that helped me and might help you is you are having issues [...]

It’s a slow week on the reading front for me as I am swamped with work, so just one book this week. I’m re-reading the four Agreements by Don Luis Ruiz. I have had this book for some time and have read it many times. It is awesome, get it if you can. One of [...]

I missed BlogHer last year and it seemed like a cool event. I checked it out and I’m planning on going, if only to their first-ever “Un-Conference” session: BlogHer Open Space. It’s just $21.75, so it doesn’t cost much besides transportation. I have friends in Chicago I could crash with too, it’ll be fun.

We left the library late last night, it was just getting dark. As I’ve mentioned before I take most of my pics with my phone camera, so the quality is not that good. I hardly ever get good night pics, for example. but the sky last night was so pretty, i had to try. Check [...]

Remember this one!? Oh, this brings back so many happy memories. I love Sesame Street.

My 2 favorite sci-fi writers are dead. Octavia Butler and now Kurt Vonnegut. I love these people. My word. I am unable at this time to express the grief I feel. His writing affected me in profound ways. Here is some info on Kurt Vonnegut:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut

Flossing goes a long way in helping to prevent gum disease. Gum disease is so nasty because it can affect your heart. I think dentists over time noticed that patients with severe gum disease had other non-dental issues. and physicians with patients with those same issues noticed that many if not all of them had [...]

It snowed heavily here the Saturday before Easter and neither me nor Mercury Man wanted to go to the store to get Easter goodies…we kept putting it off. I usually make their baskets but kept putting that off as well. Long story short I went to bed intending to lay down for a little bit [...]

Here are the easter baskets I made for my kids last year, out of cardboard boxes, pics of the kids, crayons, newspaper, and blue duct tape. I started making these about 5 years ago because we were broke one easter and could not afford baskets, and they were such a hit I made them every [...]

You may have noticed some changes to the layout in the past couple of days. I am making some changes with my business and expanding some of the services I provide for people such as web design, writing business plans, and more. I also want to build a websource site for indie media, sort of [...]

This week I’m re-reading Of Human Bondage by W. Sommerset Maugham
and The Power of a Positve No by William Ury.
I really need this book as I am often overworked and overwhelmed which means I don’t get lots of things done. I need to leanr how to say No effectively so I can concentrate on producing [...]

If you didn’t know before, you know now: I LOVE SESAME STREET.

My daughter ibop, played Miss Gulch in the Wizard of Oz (and a munchkin and an emerald city resident). She did a fantastic job!! I am so proud of her. I was amazed at the physical transformation alone; my daughter is a slender girl, about 120ish pounds, and 5 foot 6 inches, but she managed [...]
