What’s It Worth?

Fear is a gust of wind the rattles my bones. Fear is a gray cloud that stops the quickens my heart. Fear is a click, creak and groan of a settling house. It’s an unexpected flash of light. Fear is a ghost that haunts me day and night. I am forever at the ready for [...]

Gone in 60 Seconds

I loved that movie. Back before we had cable up here, “Gone in 60 Seconds” was a regular in our meager DVD collection. Some thing about fast cars get to me. That, of course was PreKids. I haven’t watched that movie in ages. Now, “gone in 60 seconds” has taken on a whole new meaning. [...]

Goodbye

As we live our lives, we all move toward the same point. The one great equalizer. Death. Some die old, some die young and some somewhere in the middle. But one plain and simple point is, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Yesterday, around 4 pm, My grandmother made it halfway to the final [...]

A Love Letter

Dear Township, Thank you for your stellar road maintenance. Since early June, I have had only 3 flat tires either while driving on or immediately after driving on your very recently graded roads. I would also like to commend you on your ability to fix but not really fix a road.  You know the one [..

Hey, Where’s Perry?

We are huge fans of Phineas & Ferb here in Pandoras Box. So big in fact that during my eleventythousandth month pregnant, I decide that I was going to name my 3rd and final child Perry. Yes, I named my kid after a teal cartoon platypus. My inspiration came during this episode………… I know.  Slighty [.

Little Boxes

Life has been kind of quiet around here lately. Nothing to really write about. Until Thursday, that is. Last Thursday Amanda turned 5. She’s a big girl now, getting ready for kindergarten. She also is starting to look like a teenager. All she needs is a cell phone ( and her PHD so she can [...]

Duct Tape and Gorillas

In honor of April’s Fool’s Day, I would like to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, My mother thought that she could get one over on me. We had a great relationship ( still do, actually). We were always laughing and joking and having Light-saber fights in the car.  We just brought [...]

Happy Birthday To Me!

My 30th birthday was last week. I know. RIGHT. I am so awesome. Tomorrow I get my birthday present. And while there are quite a few thing on my Wishlist, I asked for one thing and one thing alone. A trip home. By myself. And would you be shocked that Tom has given me this [...]
