Clean Your Room

In going through the divorce and having to ready my house for sale, I'm having to be vigilant about my son's room. I've taken it apart twice now in the last 6 months---both times when he's gone away. I swear it looks the same way a week later. I keep harping on him that if he lives here when the... Sign in to see full entry.

Employer etiquette

I've been employed mainly by myself or serious entrepreneurial types. There's always a fire, and everyone pulls whatever weight is there. I took a job for a year in a corporation that had all the nice departments to round things out. It had a work life committee to plan things that are fun. Most of... Sign in to see full entry.

A professional pet peeve

I heard something today that I've heard before but this time I heard it in a writing group from a guy who claims to be a professional writer. I have my doubts by the stuff he posts. He made a comment (not being snide, just saying it as if it were a fact) that there is no need for writers to have... Sign in to see full entry.

The empty nest

I've become that crazy parent I've made fun of in the past. My son graduated from high school this year and started a full time job a few weeks ago. He starts school full time on Monday. I'm in the process of moving. He's not going with me. It will time that I'll be moving (hopefully) as he turns... Sign in to see full entry.

On exercise and other useless sports

Okay, I used some money I got for my birthday and bought one of those recumant cycles from Sears. My son was working there so there was that ever-important discount. I have gone to the gym with both my son and daughter, trying out places, and when I am moved and land the job I'll be in, I'll join as... Sign in to see full entry.

The Right Thing at the Right Time

I had the most wonderful day today. My best friend and I went to an outdoor Blues festival in a beautiful park setting. Then we had a great Italian dinner with that wonderful olive oil dip for bread. Well, no matter how wonderful, or how many wonderful hours you have, it can take one little wave to... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Getting it Done

I know I'm not alone here. I was feeling like I was making great progress on getting what I had to get done. Then all of a sudden, I'm like 2 weeks behind. I'm not spending all my time on Blogit, so that's not it, and I've cancelled the Myspace account. I don't email much. I certainly don't have a... Sign in to see full entry.

Job Hunting

I made a pretty bold move today which, if it works, I'll tell you about it. If it doesn't, I'll probably tell you about it anyway, but I'll be whining a lot more. I was called in for a job I thoughth was really interesting. When I met with the Communications Director, I really liked the company. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Stephen King's: When a Telephone Solictor Calls.......

When I was a little kid I pulled a line on my dad that I thing EVERY teenager pulls at some point. "I KNOW I'm adopted." Well, my dad isn't like other dads. My dad isn't like other people. I'm writing some fictional stuff, and people think I have a great imagination. The truth is, I only need to... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I don't know how deep this will be or how inspiring, but I can promise entertainment...at least that's what people tell me when I write things. You see, I'm a writer. When I write emails and letters, the aim isn't to entertain...but it seems to work out that way. I sure hope you'll drop by and leave comments when you relate to something that's here. The thing about the human condition is we all share it. I'll write about my dog. Many of you have one. There are the two kids. Ditto for you? Crazy relatives---Uncle Henry who you let out of the closet only when all uniniated guests leave? I think you're going to relate to something, and others will relate to whatever your take on something is. Please share.
