Mourning the loss of my time...

From world of cartoons Gentlemen: this post may not be of your liking, for it will provide details of a very female perspective to a very natural, but slightly uncomfortable topic for you. However, by reading it, you may garner a better understanding of women and their parts. For that reason, you should continue on. Ladies: wherever your station on the fertility timeline you will relate, so you should continue on. March 29, 2012 Dearest...

majuscule OR minuscule? what is your preference and why?

While attempting to select a rubric of my own choosing,  I stumbled upon a forever chatroom/feed about one of my favorite practices: nonce-formation and de-capitalization verses capitalization; tobe or not TO BE? And, yes this ended up for discussion at the table after dinner!  As one of my favorite colleagues constantly interjects to remind me: "mi-ja', no life." Hot diggitydoodleness! The Way, this time,...

Not quite back...

The Ana goes to surgery chapter is now closed and all is well in the land of Ana. Snap! The time has come to return to reality.  However, I am putting in a request for an extension; I kindly request to pay some more attention to rest, please.   In as much as I have disconnected from all things Wi-Fi in the last few days, I finally checked into all my net gadgets and found a barrage of emails to and from my sister 'besties' in celebration...

Time off...

I really have to say these two words: brief hiatus!    If you noticed my energy level in the blogesphere is very low. I haven't been very pro-active as much as I would like to because I  have been getting ready for my surgery: tomorrow! Manana! I am feeling like a bit of a writing slacker, but I'm physically exhausted and I need to pay attention to self.   I won't be submitting any posts; no surprises. I should...

26 years and still walking...ok..30...

Twenty six years ago we walked down the aisle of all aisles to the beat of a pop chart hit called,  Mendelssohn's Wedding March:circa 1900. From a serendipitous conversation in a coffee shop on board a cruise ship, two ordinary lives became one in an extraordinary way, as seamlessly as, adding water to instant coffee. By the by, I highly recommend  the midnight buffet on the love boat. It was certainly pay dirt for...

Words on the Camino!

Today has been a literary wash! Eureka! I woke up to the 'She Writes' community of sister story tellers.  I am in awe of a literary universe unexplored, by me, and have discovered that I really  need to tech-up! HTML - here I come! What a blasty blast!   Out of the deep blue cheese, words stream and feed my soul. No lie, I have adamantly stated that I just didn't have much of a story...

One of the many things to look forward to...

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies; All's well that ends well; All cats love fish but hate to get their paws wet. You get what you pay for... Dreaming is certainly free.  All of these quotes can be found in the great book of, "that is what they all say"! Question: what does one feel when when the probability of making a dream actually come true is high on the gonna happen scale? I say, Boom! Boom! Pow!  How amazing would...
