The Other Look

I was five years old when I got caught shoplifting. It’s one of those definable moments in life that a person never forgets. And it’s funny that today this memory would bubble to the surface of my mind. I’m not quite sure what triggered this memory. Perhaps it’s because I’m hanging out at the

Ink Me

I’ve been itching to get a tattoo. “What?,” says those few ApronStrings Readers left. “You mean you don’t have one?” And my answer to that would be a surprising no. Especially seeing that my early 20’s were spent at the height of the tattoo revival in the 90’s. It’s not that I didn’t have the opport

Voices Emily

I’ve made no bones that, at one time in my life I wanted to be a rock star. I wanted to sing in front of adoring fans and raise the roof with some kick-a$$ songs that I wrote myself. Never mind that I was just a mediocre musician. And never mind that I never have

Proud to be in Health Care

Given the historic moment last night**, it’s not suprise that work today was … interesting. Oh, did I forget to tell you that I work for a major health insurance company? We’re a smart bunch, us RN Case Managers. We’re smart enough to know that the landscape of health care will change. However, we’r

Mish Mosh

I think I’ve hit the proverbial “brick wall” with my daily blog entries. I’m just not at all feeling creative these days and I’m sure it has to do with the fact that I’m just 15 days away from finishing up the promise I made to myself to post daily until the Monday after Easter. Yeah,

First Day of Spring

Today marked the first day of spring here in Chicago. So what was the first this I saw this morning? Snow. What’s worse is that yesterday was absolutely beautiful; just like the previous three days before then. Welcome to the Midwest; where we’re all proud to boast the fact that we get to experience

No Schedules Allowed

It’s finally Friday night and I’m so happy that the weekend is finally here. So what if the weather is supposed to be crappy all weekend? So what if it’s probably going to be spent doing laundry? Or, worse, work? All I know is that I’m not going to be held to a specific schedule; not

Out of My Shell

It’s gorgeous outside. And I know this, despite being locked up under artificial lights since 8:30 this morning, because I’ve been unchained from my desk for a lunch time break. I couldn’t let the beautiful day go by without soaking up some of that sun. I’m getting a head start on today’s post only

Triple the Thanks

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world; someone to love, something to do, and something to be hopeful for.” — Tom Bodett ~~*~*~*~*~*~~ Happy St. Paddy’s Day to all you Laddies and Lassies … Well what’s left of it anyway. But more important (at least to me), Hap

Amateur Night

How is it that I managed to attend my first Meetup group event on the eve of my blogoversary? And how perfect that I joined a group called Chicago Blogs? Yes, Hubby finally managed to drag me (although not kicking and screaming) to one of his Meetup events. Which, seeing that it just happens
