Diving.
I was never really good at it.
On the swim team, we had to dive of course. All four years, I never mastered my dive. I never felt comfortable, just going head first into the depths. Always hesitant, cautious. Not a big fan of the diving part. But once I am in the pool, I loved to just swim. Long distance was my specialty. Nice, steady and slow. I can hum a tune in my head, happy as can be,...
'tis the Season.
Yes, today is Christmas. Some families rush around to other relatives’ houses for dinner and gift exchange, but in my little family, we did all that last night, today we are lazy, lazy, lazy! I love Christmas. And this year’s Christmas especially.
I feel especially fortunate this month. I feel that I had a very trying year. It was full of disappointment for me, to be quite honest,...

Coffee and Cookies Anyone?
I’m drinking a nice hot cup of java right now. Don’t you just hate when a yuppy idiot says, “java”? Good thing I’m not a yuppy, idiot maybe. But I’m not both. I’d have to kill myself. Yes, yes, back on topic. My apologies. I love a nice cup of coffee every once and awhile. In the morning when I’m feeling a bit sluggish, a little pick-me-up is nice....
"Gee-Wiz!" And Other Innocent Exclamations.
Rated R for language. Parental discretion is advised.
Now, I am not the cleanest speaking person by all means, but when in certain situations or with particular people, I try to stay ladylike. When these rare occasions arise, I use “Jeez Louise!” or “Oh my goodness!” and I find them to suffice just as well as a dirty-bird swear word. I got onto this subject speaking to a...

Christmas Shopping…not a big fan.
You know what I would like for Christmas? Love, peace and happy times. I’m completely serious. I don’t need a necklace, a CD, a Snuggie®, all I want is a good meal with friends and family surrounding me. Just a nice time with the people I care about. I’m a no frills type of gal. I just want to laugh, drink, eat and be merry! I believe...

Devon; One Heck of a Woman.
Yes, Devon is a woman now. I think it has taken me the longest to get used to this fact. She’s my little sister, the girl I helped raise since she was two years old. She’s now eighteen, and at first I felt sad about it. She’s not my “little” sister anymore. She’s full-grown, and has her own young life. She’s participated in adult things already; dating,...
