Lots on My Mind

I started a post last night about my SL work with U2inSL all weekend long on my stay-cation but didn’t get it finished. I’ll try to finish that up and share it later in the day.
My post was interrupted last night by a phone call from my mom who is spending most of the [...]

Stay-cation Update

Yesterday – the balloon popping continued and Dave taught the kids the joys of helium inhalation. We spent considerable time talking like Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Does this mean my kids will grow up to do drugs…???? YIKES! Cancel Cancel.
We had early morning bike riding – I think I mentioned that yesterday. We also had [...]

Is stay-cation supposed to be exhausting?

So with gas prices double and triple of what they once were, the latest trend in family vacations is a stay-cation. My sister-in-law was sharing that tidbit with us from her vantage point in the central coastal area of California. Apparently California economists are predicting a severe loss of revenue because the drop [...]

Make it a priority!

I went for my first mammogram yesterday. I had been warned by my female friends and even had a cautionary call from my mom wondering if I knew what to expect. A few weeks ago I had even been on an email joke string that showed cartoon drawings of women’s breasts. Intimidating? LOLSo I went [...]

I got an email this a.m. that went something like this…
Did Crightonitis catch? You..you haven’t posted since Sunday. Do you have a fever? Are you sick? Omg! /me calls a doctor!
The pressure worked I was forced to reply with a “Help – I can barely keep my head above RL water this week [...]

Dedicated to the Oak Tree in My Life

My dad has given me lots of advice over the years. He is my favorite phone call in the morning on my way into the battlefields that my workplace on some days. He is the reassuring hug and the one I know will be the first to kick me in the butt to get going. [...]

It’s Genetic

My thoughts and prayers go out this morning to the families coping with loss – from the tornadoes, from the flooding. My window to that part of the country is through the eyes of the media. But, I was born and spent part of my childhood in Ames, Iowa so I am familiar with tornado [...]

Read it slowly… Let it soak in…

I just loved this and had to share. Life has been crazy since I posted quickly on Monday. Several things are percolating but no time to actually blog it. For now I’ll leave you with this thought from Jim Rohn:
