I can’t help but wonder how many 30-something, even 40-something women are out there who feel that they have lived half-lives. I don’t mean that they are only half over with their life, but that where they are at this point in their lives is only half of what they meant to be. We have mostly been taught as women in this country that you can have and be anything you want. That is a wonderful advancement that has come through much radical thought and women taking risks and breaking molds. But the mold is still there isn’t it? Maybe…

Sometimes it feels as though no matter how hard I try to move forward, I keep slipping back into old routines and bad habits. It’s especially tough when something I thought was long gone sneaks back into my mind or my life. Like what? Well, yesterday we were out walking the dogs when I had an all too familiar thought. There were two cars sitting in the parking lot next to each other, their drivers talking, with one SUV facing towards me as I crossed the driveway. For a split second, I thought, “I wish that SUV would be not…

It’s definitely summer time, and I have noticed that when we go for a walk, my Pomeranian is panting a lot. I’m sure it must be tough with so much hair! She was in desperate need of a groomer’s attention anyway, so I decided to take her in and have her shaved. For some pom owners, this is a very controversial issue. They believe that Pomeranians are supposed to have long flowing hair and that if you shave it even once, you are ruining it. My personal feelings? She looks cute as hell. She is very happy with her new…

My brother is (hopefully) on his way already from Georgia, and we are all going to see Dave Matthews tonight. Originally, he was supposed to come with his wife and best friend, and they were going to stay for four or five days. Unfortunately, last week, it turned into just my brother and his friend and only staying for one night. Last night, D called and said his friend can’t come, but he’s bringing a different friend. After all of these changes, I can’t help if I am feeling just a bit nervous about the fact that he hasn’t called…

G and I have been saving up for a few new things for our living room. It’s taken us a few months to get the money together, but most of it came from EQ2 and selling off our characters and such. The first of our purchases arrives today and I can’t wait! A brand new couch from Rooms to Go. Here is a picture of what it is supposed to look like: The cushions are Microfiber plush, which is usually super soft. I hope it’s as nice as it looks to be in the pictures. We’ll see. They are supposed…

Well, last night’s dreams were pretty intense. Sometime around 6:30 this morning, I had a very vivid dream about a tornado. The scene was very “down on the farm” with cornfields and a barn. G and I were there and were heading out on a date, of course not realizing at first that the weather was bad. As we walked towards his car, the wind picked up and the sky darkened. G casually made a comment about it being “tornado weather” when I looked towards the horizon and there they were. Twin tornadoes. In my dream, the tornadoes were black,…
