Bait and Switch
Recently, I accepted a new position. It is actually more of a transfer; none the less, it was to be a promotion. A very nice promotion that was to be a salary increase of around $10K and involved a cross country move to Florida from Nebraska. Picture this; the movers come and pick up my belongings...

Slip Mahoneyisms
As a child my parents introduced me to The Bowery Boys, one particular boy of note was Slip Mahoney. Slip was forever "murderlizin" the English language. So whenever someone uses the wrong word, makes up a word, or a mispronunciation is made my family christens it a Slip Mahoneyism. I have heard a...

Hallway Niceties
I fail to understand why when passing others in the hallway people say " Hey,how are you doing?" It is not like in the short time that you pass one another you could really tell them how you are doing. Face facts, hallway chit chat is superficial. So next time you pass by someone just say hello or...

What is Reality Therapy?
Reality Therapy, I thought it sounded fun and functional. Actually the name stems from a parent teacher conference my saint of a mother had with a high school English teacher. This teacher wanted me to write essays or "stories" as she so eloquently called them. So I did. I wrote some of the most...

Reality Therapy Rides Again!
I am back at it again. I took some time off of blogging and I have to say that I missed it. I missed the Blogit Community too. To start things off maybe I should repost my first blog so that you can all see what Reality Therapy is all about.

I thought whales were blue...
I stopped at Long John Silvers last Friday and there was a young girl sitting with her mother just smacking away on some chicken planks. At first I was totally grossed out by the grotesque open mouth chewing. As I sat there in horror at the smacking noises I realized she appeared to be only about...

Nothing Beats a Good Thrashing
Perhaps it is my Appalachian heritage that leans me towards the camp that some people just deserve a good thrashing. I always heard stories of my "kin folks" back up in the hills opening a can of whoop ass on those who dared disrespect them. I guess in many ways I find solace in the idea that if...

Eeeeeee Gad I am getting old...
Okay, so yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and I went out after work with a few gals for the traditional Green Beer. Typically the night would have involved Irish Mist shots chased with green beer and culminated in a 3AM rendition of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" in a slurred fashion I perfected back...

Sacred Grounds
Okay so I freely admit it. I am a coffee snob. I prefer 100% Columbian to any other coffee on the market. I have tried many different kinds from jamaican, ethiopian, mexican, still nothing compares to my beloved columbian. I have a recipe that greets me every morning with yummy consistency. It is...

I am the Purveyor of Doom...
Or some of my friends seem to think so anyway. I get a lot of "for heaven's sake, can't you just for one moment think positively?" The strange thing is I don't see myself as being a negative person. I see myself as a realist. For example, my husband's orders say he will be gone for 18 months....
