I have written squat. Haven’t even thought about writing. Haven’t even had the urge to write. I have pretty much spent the first 14 days of March being a geek. A geek to hockey & a geek to music. I have avoided the one thing I always felt I needed in my life to survive and that was writing. As I thumbed through the first … Continue reading A Beautiful Mess
I’m sitting here listening to Matthew Ryan’s “Follow the Leader.” I just adore this song. It’s simply beautiful. The lyrics “We‘re in this solar system. Together and alone…Now you can follow your gut, or you follow you can follow the past but if you knew an eclipse was coming, why’d you even ask?” I’ve been struggling with a lot of of emotions the last few … Continue reading Follow the Leader
There are times when I’m going to see my family that I just break out into tears. It’s because I remember that my mom isn’t going to be there when I arrive. It’s like I forget that she has passed away. Today, I spent the day with my sister, my bro-in-law, & nieces. We did some shopping and hanging out. It was great to have … Continue reading The Fine Art of Living

I realized last night as I was looking at hockey stats for a team I could care less about that I have become very obsessed with the sport. Then I realized why… For those that know me, they believe I have suddenly become a super geek fan of hockey. They’ve wondered what the hell? Hockey? Huh? You like a sport? I do. I like two. … Continue reading Hockey
Everyone keeps asking me if I’m okay and even though I say yes, they give me that look like I’m lying to them. Yes, one week ago my mom died. Yes, one week ago I lost one of the most important people in my life (but I have others who are just as important still with me.) Why can’t I be okay with death? My … Continue reading Hope Comes from Letting Go
So my Friday the 13th has been fan-freaking-tastic. Why? 1) a little self pampering with a manicure, pedicure, & eyebrow wax. 2) Lunch and shopping with one of my best friends Kathy 3) a surprise party from Adrienne, Amy, Emilie, Jeannine, Joe, Johnny, Kim, Mark, Patrick, Shawn complete with chocolate cake & sparkler candles (note on sparkler candles…they don’t go out so easily) 4) hockey … Continue reading Lucky 13
I’m sitting here listening to my iPod & fighting sleep and a tickle in my throat. I will not be sick in Vegas. Do you hear me Universe? I WILL NOT BE SICK IN VEGAS. I didn’t write last night & the 100 words I wrote tonight were pretty much crap. I don’t have the energy to keep my eyes open much less type 2000 … Continue reading This Week
It’s Wednesday & it’s 9:46 pm. I was suppose to go see Social Distortion tonight, but I’m mentally drained & really just too freaking exhausted. A load of laundry is drying in the other room and the ice maker is spitting out ice into an empty holder. Ah…the life of a single a lady…also known as being a big girl I set all these goals … Continue reading Just Be
As my dear friend Adrienne screams when she’s doing a shot that she shouldn’t do, “Ow, my life!” Not that my life is in “Ow” It’s very far from “ow.” It’s actually a great life. I have great friends and a great family. I have a great job that I enjoy going to daily. Life is good. I think “Ow, my life,” when I have … Continue reading To the Lust of the Life
