Thursday, October 27, 2005Working HardWhen you are running in as many directions as I am, sometimes it's easy to forget what's important. This last couple of weeks has been particularly bad, with work, home, the kids' trip with their dad, my trip to my college homecoming, Broadway rehearsals, choir and handbell rehearsals,...

We have three weeks left, and it seems like it just won't ever come together. I know it will, of course. It always does. It's just that we're tired and we're still blocking and the words and notes are... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, October 24, 2005The Reunion Was Marvellous!I had a great time! I drove up Saturday morning after making an emergency stop at the bank to make a deposit, and then at the local office of my auto insurance company, to drop off a payment. It seems that a bill got lost in the mail... and I was within ten days of cancellation. Yikes! Good thing I... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, October 21, 2005Reunions ... Worth Going?Tomorrow is a reunion of the choirs taught by my college choir director. She's going to be there, and many of us are heading back to the old alma mater for the day, to join in the "sing-in," sing the national anthem for the homecoming game, and catch up with old friends. I never know whether I...

There is so much baggage that I need and want to jettison from my life, things that I need to work through and "find a bridge and get over" so that I can go on to live a normal, happy...

I bought a purple skirt for the office a while back, because I like purple and I wanted a longer "office type" skirt. You know, the kind of...

After that, we had supper at mom's and then we came home. I have to finish the laundry tonight, because this is the only night I will have this week to get the boys' things packed for their...

After the kids' soccer game, I came home and cleaned all the bedrooms and opened all the windows in the house to give it a good airing. Then I cleaned the kitchen and had lunch, sorted the laundry and dirty bed linens, and started this week's washing. Then I made cheese...

This week's washing, of course. And the ironing that is hanging around. Bills to pay. Regular house-cleaning to do. Clothes to take to the consignment shop. A...

Because the guy is clearly not interested in even a close friendship with me, much less in anything more. Part of the allure of this man is that he is physically attractive. He's unbelieveably tall (at least a foot, and... Sign in to see full entry. |
