It Feels So Good To Say "No"

I feel so good right now, I wish I could bottle this feeling! I had been concerned with my emotional state for the past five or six days, and had planned to call my shrink to make an appointment tomorrow. Was thinking I maybe needed to be on the Depakote, at least, again. I am feeling very good, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Computers, Schedules, and Leaky Pipes

I was writing about my new computer. Actually, I was writing about the six other computers I've bought over the past eight years and was boring even myself. Suffice it to say that I bit the bullet and bought a new computer yesterday. I love it! I bought a Dell Dimension Desktop 4700. I upgraded to a... Sign in to see full entry.

Wait A Minute, Hold The Phone!

It's been a month now, and the Corporate Guy has made good on his promise. I was told today that beginning next week, I am supposed to work the front end of the restaurant, and begin my "management training." I had to tell my manager, "Wait a minute, hold the phone." I told him I wasn't sure I... Sign in to see full entry.

The Making Of A Millionaire

Tuesday, September 27 6:25 P.M. Random thoughts today, but never have I felt more concise in my thinking. I've had a vision of where I want to be five years from now, and it's a 'do-able' thing for me. I want to move to the mountains, probably up around Asheville, N.C. And I will. I've got a job...

I Showed My Ass...But Now They Know

Saturday, September 17 4:53 P.M. Well, I guess they know how far they can push me now, up at the chicken place. I was asked to come in today, on my day off, and a Saturday at that. There was a large order of 330 pieces of chicken for Habitat For Humanity, and a church group, that had to be done by... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Hours, Things Not Usually Found, and Humility

Wednesday, September 14 6:07 P.M. I gotta say this: I've done many happy hours, in many different parts of the country, in many different kinds of bars in my day, but I don't think a single one of those 'Happy Hours' ever made me feel as good as I feel this very moment. I have worked a full day's... Sign in to see full entry.

Overdrawn Bank Accounts And Other Monday Things

Monday, September 12 8:20 A.M. I am reminded of Paul Simon's Song "Have A Good Time." It goes, "I should be depressed, My life's a mess; But, We're all havin' a good time. Have a good time, Baby. Have a good time." Haven't heard that song in a long time, but it is running through my head this... Sign in to see full entry.

'Just Gotta Have That Crunch'

Friday, September 9, 8:31 A.M. I am taking my thirty minutes this morning to write, even if only a letter to myself. But, then again, all my blogs begin as merely letters to myself, an indulgence of self-expression I may not exhibit anywhere but here. Thanks for reading me. I think blogging is the...

Technical Difficulties....Part Three

Well, hey, it's me...~Mama.Dragonfly487...I know you have been reading my blogs. I appreciate your comments. I haven't had the time to blog as much as I did over the summer. I still try to write for thirty minutes a day, but don't always have the time. I feel like I am hip-deep in alligators, as... 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...
