I discovered a Thanksgiving weekend movie marathon on AMC this weekend. It was perfect timing because I haven’t been very mobile since Thursday night.
I have an old knee injury from a car accident in 1981 and a series of knee surgeries after that. I don’t go up and down stairs because my knee is [...]

One Down And One To Go

One down and one to go.
I just submitted my Nanowrimo novel for word count validation (50,202). Yay for me! I must say that although this is not my first Nanowrimo win, it feels wonderful to have finished. Of course the novel isn’t finished. It requires an awful lot of work but I reached the word [...]
A Thanksgiving Change
Posted in memoir, tagged change, children, Disneyland, divorce, family, single moms, Thanksgiving on November 27, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Thanksgiving in 1992 was a turning point for my family.
On the fifteenth, just eleven days before Thanksgiving, my husband of many years walked out the door saying he needed time and space to himself so he could figure out if he still wanted to be married to me. For Thanksgiving, we still weren’t sure what [...]

Yesterday, my daughter was visiting and she wanted to take some pictures. She is very much into photography and is trying to convince some of her friends to move to Portland so we walked around between visiting stores on Hawthorn Blvd. and having breakfast.
Here are some of the signs that fall is definitely here:

My Nanowrimo novel writing was interrupted yesterday. I am at 41,103 words and have to finish by Sunday. I wanted to finish by Tuesday night. It was a goal I had set for myself. However, on Sunday morning my daughter called and said she wanted to come visit me. I was very pleased that she [...]
Weekend Blog Posts
Posted in just musing, tagged blog posts, blog reading, blogs on November 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One thing I have noticed over the course of the past couple of years is that no one reads blogs on weekends. I can have the best blog post on a Saturday or a Sunday but no one will see it because they just aren’t online on the weekend. By the time they come back [...]
Football Memories
Posted in memoir, tagged football, high school, memories, those were the days on November 22, 2008 | 5 Comments »
When I was in high school, I went to every single football game from my freshman year through my senior year. I loved going. At first, I would ride the “rooter bus” because our school did not have a football field with lighting for night games and all varsity games were night games. Our school [...]
Learning From Daily Life

I forget a lot of things. Some things are important and I still forget them and some things are less important. Somehow, it’s the really unimportant and trivial things that I remember, but that’s another story.
About three years ago, I was really frazzled and my diabetes was way out of control. It effects memory, high [...]
