Thank you, MonkeyFrog. I hadn’t looked at it that way, but now it makes sense.
You know, my sister works in the medical industry (home health care sales now, previously as the Office Manager of a diagnostic clinic). It seems like she would have known…..

My grandnephew was scheduled to have the tubes in his ears replaced and evaluated for the removal of his adenoids as well. He’s 21 months old. My sister, his grandmother, had been the one to take him for his surgery. My niece had a test today, so my sister took off work to take him.
Yes, my niece had a test because she is in her senior year of high school. She is doubling up, taking...

WatchI saw this little video for the first time yesterday. It’s ADORABLE. I also like the song. It’s reminiscent of the country music of my childhood and isn’t attempting to sound all “popish” and has a hint of folk to it.
I know you may not be a country fan, but do give it a chance and be sure and listen to the lyrics….

It’s a bit of a struggle to find my way back to a regular routine. There is work for a couple of local clients and daily chores that pass the time. My youngest is home for the week and we are doing final stuff for the start of the new school year.
There are also also a couple of trips to finalize plans for.
One business, to Washington DC, where I have meetings set up with a couple of...

For months I have been talking in code, closely guarding the identity of “The Boy” to the public at large. When you care about another person, you want to shout it from the rooftops, especially when you are falling in love. There is the balance, however, of also wanting to closely protect something new, so that it has the opportunity to blossom without any outside interference.

Virtually Unplugged
You may (or may not) have noticed that I have been fairly absent the last few days.
On Wednesday, I left the house around 7 in the morning for a road trip to Tennessee. I could have made it in one day if I had been able to spend 14 hours in the car, but I starting wearing down somewhere between Vicksburg and Meridian MS. I stopped in Birmingham for lunch and to meet a girlfriend for lunch, and...

My apologies to anyone whom I owe email.
Today has been one of those days.
The electricty was out from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM. I worked at a client’s office all afternoon, had sushi with my daughter, bought milk (since I’m afraid the milk went bad due to electricty thing), and then spent some time hanging out with The Boy and my daughter.
I will do my very best to get caught up tomorrow.

It would be great if I didn’t have to get out of the house right away, but I do. So I’m at Starbucks doing a quick check of email and Twitter and Tumblr before I attempt to start my day.
But instead of being able to really focus on email, I’m distracted by this cute cute little girl who is doing her darndest to convince her dad that the BABIES (little stuffed monkeys for sale...
