14 years ago my ex husband (then boyfriend) and I were driving along a country road in Western Wisconsin when serendipity struck. We were in the right place at the right time and something wonderful happened. It was the middle of January, late afternoon, when we noticed two small animals on the side of the road. When we opened the car door to investigate, two
Okay guys, you can skip this one, we'll be talking about woman things so go crack a beer and watch a game somewhere. Are they gone? Okay. For the past several months I have been experiencing bouts of moodiness. Extreme moodiness which usually include crying jags on the couch, self hatred followed by watching chick flicks with Ben and Jerry. If I wasn't crying I
Not too long ago I wrote a post about the size of the box that was used to ship an item that was no bigger than a quarter. I mentioned that because I was a Republican I didn't get into the whole green movement, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment as you can see by reading the comments on that article. In the comments
Image via Wikipedia It's not just me who is having a hard time coming up with stories. My local news station, KARE, reported on a Wisconsin man who was stopped in his car by police because he was changing clothes while driving. He had been to the state fair and was sweaty. He was given a warning. This is such a non story I can't
I was asked to write a guest post about the top ten things men do that drive women crazy. I came up with the standard ones, leaving the toilet seat up, farting, hands down their pants, that kind of thing, but I couldn't come up with ten and my post went horribly in the wrong direction. The post was rejected and I was given a
Do you text, or txt, message? If you are under the age of 30 you probably do and don't think twice about it. If you are over the age of 30 you probably struggle a bit with the whole thing. I do text message. Reluctantly. I don't really like to but in some cases it is the only way to communicate with people in my
I was blazing through the season. I put up my lights and started decorating the house for the holidays, I watched animated Christmas specials from the 70's with my six year old, and enjoyed them more than she did. I baked and baked. And then I hit the wall. I don't know what happened except that the reality of the season probably took over. I
Some of you may have noticed that I rarely have pictures on my blog. I take pictures and I even upload them to my computer however I have yet to organize them and label them with names and dates (I know, big surprise). After two years of writing about them I thought it might be nice if you had some faces to put to the
Today I stopped at Walgreen's to pick up a prescription. I have a thyroid disorder, I take a synthetic hormone replacement. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease when I was 18 or 19. The dose has rarely changed except after the birth of each of my children. I take one pill each morning and never think about it again. When I stopped at Walgreen's to
Thank you to everyone who left a comment, donated to my site, sent an email or called me on the phone. I can't tell you how much your support means to me.The situation with my ex is no different but I did force him to empty his wallet and give the contents to me. I am now $43 richer. That money was used immediately to
