Friends don’t let friends……

……..Kindle drunk.   LOL! 
Yup.  I did it.  I bought a Kindle.  (Yay Spudsie!)  I bit the bullet.  I quit straddling the fence.  I stopped “being of two minds” as the British would say.  (I heart BBC Amercia!)  I even paid extra for expedited shipping.
And Thursday afternoon, that magical Brown truck delivered my Kindle.
And I am [...]

“What a country”

I really miss Tim Russert. 
I’ve been glued to MSNBC this political season.  I love listening to their political shows—from “Morning Joe” with Joe Scarborough in the early morning, to Keith Olbermann’s rants…er…”Special Comments”, to Rachel Maddow’s new show.  It’s awesome!
Yeah….I know…MSNBC leans really heavily to the left.  Since I’m listening more for fun [...]

Haiku for Maggie Mae

I stumbled onto Maggie Mae’s blog several weeks ago.  She’s a beautiful dog who is just a touch obsessed with squirrels.  (Or “tree rats” as she often calls them.)  Today she mentioned she was considering writing a poem and asked what rhymed with “squirrel.”  While I have no answer for that, she did inspire me [...]

To Kindle or not to Kindle……

Ah……the eternal question.
What?  It’s not eternal??  It sure feels like I’ve been waivering on this for an eternity.  LOL!
I’m trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and buy a Kindle from Amazon.  (It’s $50 cheaper with Oprah’s code!)
I read a ton of books–so I’d save money downloading the e-book format, and I’d save [...]

Pride goeth before…….fear?

It’s been almost a week since my last coaching conversation with Coach Jim.  Which means I’ve been avoiding this for almost a week now…..
Or more accurately it’s taken me almost a week to be ready to work on this.  Which is a distinction I often fail to recognize.  We talked Monday and I started brewing [...]

Thriving…..

Work’s been a bear lately.  (Groan!  Please Spudsie spare us the bear references in such a lousy bear market!  J)  Seriously, it’s been really tough.  And my attitude has been really lousy.  (See “Workplace woes” if you doubt me.)  This week I felt the lowest work-wise I’ve felt in a really long time. 
And it [...]

Workplace woes

I’m doing something different today.  I’m writing and posting this while I’m in the middle of some really strong, negative emotions.  To date I’ve tried really hard to avoid doing that–so that I don’t write and post something I’ll regret later.
And right now I don’t even care about that.  I just need to get some [...]

God- a perfect Father

The Bible uses tons and tons of analogies to help explain God and his love for us.  That’s not surprising really—God is a spiritual, all powerful, all knowing, all everything being.  And that’s pretty much outside of the realm of my understanding.  So analogies really help explain who he is and how he loves us.
God [...]

Hey Doubt… go away and take these warped glasses with you!

I find myself craving, longing for praise from others.  Yearning for someone (other than me) to come along and offer praise for something I’ve done or something I am.
Hmmmm…whatdaya know.  That feels just as shallow writing it as it does thinking it!
Shallow though it may be… it’s true.  There’s a part of me that dwells [...]
