Unbelievable. I’m in shock, and sad, furious, disgusted. I cry all the time. And I have no one to talk to – my confidante has absconded, my heart in hand. So now I’m looking around for a truck rental, wondering how on earth this will ever be right. Too much stuff that doesn’t matter anymore, [...]

Winter stinks. I’m so desperate for a change I spent the afternoon researching diet pills. New body, new face, new life. Don’t I wish. Being depressed means fighting the urge to snack, so I figure a pack of diet pills ought to help. I really wish things would start looking up, or at least sideways. [...]

I like the convenience of living near a city, but on most days I really prefer a pastoral view. If we’re able to swing it when we finally build, I’d like to plant a lot of trees. Elm trees grow fast, are hardy, and create a beautiful landscape. They make wonderful shade trees, which can [...]

I get the urge to pack it all up and move. One thing I miss about the military – I loved being able to move around. We’ve been in Virginia since my daughter was born; it’s the longest period of time I’ve ever lived in one area. I’ve been researching different areas of the country, [...]

When I was younger, I fantasized about the type of home I would eventually own. I love books; reading is one of my favorite pastimes, and a large, well-stocked library with beautifully crafted built-ins featured prominently in those fantasies. As important as the storage is, however, one can’t forget the brightly lit reading room (no, [...]

Those of you who visit regularly (shout out!) know about my accident, and the deep meaning the words “move fearlessly” have for me. I designed my logo with this in mind. My husband looked at it and said, “That’d look great on a T-shirt!” I think he might be right – any thoughts? They’re available [...]

In this economy, I’m all about finding ways to save money. Obviously, the word “free” gets my attention – especially when it concerns cell phone family plans. Our kids carry phones with them as a safety measure; of course, they want to use them! With the wear and tear (and lack of care), we could [...]

I have a great recliner that quite frankly is wearing out. The seat is starting to sag a little, and all the little mechanisms that used to be so smooth now seem to be on their last legs. I’m a little bummed, because it’s really difficult for me to find a chair I can spend [...]
