I Said Yes This Time......

Ahh! Blogging! I have to say it has honestly kept me sane these past six months. Yeah, can you believe it? You guys have kept me sane. Eeeh, Gads! Talk about the blind leading the blind! LOL! People I've met in my lifetime who enjoy writing seem to be a quirky bunch, just a little bit odd, sometimes... Sign in to see full entry.

Down South Jukin', and God, Spare Me From 'Christians'.......

I am so outraged right now. The lengths that some Church-going, 'Christians' are willing to go to prove a point, the total lack of civility, and the thoughtless rush to judgement absolutely sickens me, in particularly regarding this case. This case, just unfolding, is personal for me. I am not... Sign in to see full entry.

'Ms. A****, You Alright. We Tight'

Man, I feel so sexy right now. No exclamation point. Just a simple declaration of fact. Being sexy is so much in the attitude anyway! No shower this morning, had showered last night, and had put leave-in conditioner in my hair. Wore it pinned back, low. just behind my ears. The conditioner made my... Sign in to see full entry.

New Alliances, Knit Hats, and Being Buff

An extra hour of time, what a treat! M******, the night cook, the one I trained came to work an hour early, ready to work, so I got to leave an hour early! He is being 'put up' as they call it where I work, makin' the leap into management. I think that's great! He's young, not married, no kids, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Peace, At Last

My best friend died today. She was funny, irreverent, and irrepressible. Life wasn't real fair to her, but she always looked on the bright side, and somehow found something to laugh about, even in the direst of circumstance. She had been very sick for a very long time, so I am relieved for her that... Sign in to see full entry.

I Told Her How To Fix The Chicken

I am blogging. I have already written one blog today. I didn't post it. In fact, I wrote it in long hand, on notebook paper, in my kitchen this afternoon. I sat at the island and waited for my kids to come home, with a heat thingy on my shoulder, trying to coax my shoulder into submission. Nobody... Sign in to see full entry.

Takin' Charge Of The Chicken

Today is not a poetry day, at least, not for me. I feel I made some positive impressions today. D***** is on a Caribbean cruise right now. I kinda took charge of the chicken today. Tuesday is one of three delivery days every week. Somehow we hod we had so much chicken left from Saturday's delivery,... Sign in to see full entry.

Barenaked Ladies, and Barenaked Ambition

Well, another day. I am better today. I was out on the front porch, enjoying some peace and quiet, and the cooler weather. Mosquitos drove me inside. I gotta be doing something right. Life is just too good. I am not talking about material riches, and no, The Captain hasn't asked me to be his... Sign in to see full entry.

Now That The Thing Didn't Happen, Who's Got Your Back?

Twenty-six emails in my inbox. only one of them of any significance. I was born to do just what I am doing, and that includes what I am doing with The Captain. I just feel it, that's all. Yeah, a certain amount of manipulation is going on there, but it's a good manipulation, except that... Sign in to see full entry.

The Captain Said So

It is nine-fifteen and my fourteen-old-girlchild is not home yet from school. I gave her permission to go into town after school with friends to the new Walmart Supercenter that opened on Wednesday, but I told her to be home by six. She hasn't called and I am worried. Of course, her father is not... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

What would you do for love, of the craft? I got hired today as a part-time reporter for a newspaper. I was hired to cover local high school football. Imagine that! Paid to write. I'd almost do this gig for free, just for the education, and the fodder for future stories, except...
