Hello, hello again

Hello, hello again

Now that I have my degree… Now that I’ve relocated to my dream state of Colorado… Now that I’ve settled into a somewhat regular daily routine… I’m feeling the itch to write. For real. So, I guess it’d be best if I start getting warmed up, and I plan to do that by writing here,…

I Don’t Blog Therefore I Am Not?

Seriously, I keep thinking of things to write here and I just don’t. I need to, for my sanity’s sake; for a creative outlet; for therapy; for outreach. So when do I finally post? When I’m buried in a list of to-do’s so long I can’t see straight. Procrastinate much? School is stressful – but…

Looking for a place to live

Well, I think we’ve looked at about a billion apartments/duplexes/townhouses/houses/etc. We have lists, summaries, printouts, pro & con lists …. Excited, yet not looking forward to the chaos that is cleaning, packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking, cleaning, settling in, cleaning – all just in time for the spring semester to start in a week – hopefully.

I miss my daughter

I know she is having the experience of her life. I know this is her dream and what she wants to do. I have worked really hard the past 4 months to be strong, supportive, positive and encouraging. But today is her birthday – and I finally lost it. I have shed tears, but this…
