What’s On The Needles?
o I’ve been doing a lot of knitting, as usual, but haven’t updated the ol’ blog with pictures lately. I’m still behind in my photo taking, but here are a few new images.
I finished one of my Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon socks:
(Forgive the mess on my desk!)
Here it is on my ample foot:

Scammed…Almost
I almost won $85,000 this week. It was wild enough of an encounter that I almost believed it. Then I remembered my basic tenet: I never win anything.
So let me tell you what happened. On Wednesday, I was awakened by the FedEx guy with a priority express letter for me. The letter was from a [...]
My Brunch With Jackie
oday I had lunch with my daughter. No, you haven’t missing my having had a child along the way (though I would be honored if she were my true child). Jackie is the daughter that I spiritually adopted. She is the daughter of my heart.
Jackie is an amazing young women. I met her when she [...]
Spawn of a Loon
had a brief conversation today with my mother that reaffirmed that the woman has issues. First, my stepfather was in an accident last month where his Baby Benz car was totalled. He loved this car. It was a 97 and had been completely paid for. The other driver was definitely at fault. Unfortunately the [...]
Whose Shame Is It Anyway?
ast night in group, I shared my post Finally Willing To Talk About It. I was clear that I just wanted to share where I was and what I had discovered and didn’t need time to process the feelings any further. (I have this thing about needing time in group that I have been having [...]
Il Divo
OK, is it just me or are these guys hot? That honey on the left would be a great subject for my chocolate body paint. Yummy!
Spinning

Finally Willing To Talk About It
’ve avoided posting about this. Why, I’m not quite clear. Generally writing about something I am struggling with helps me become more clear about my issues. Yet I’ve avoided mentioning it here and have left my struggles inside. Perhaps if I just begin, the rest will come.
What I am wrestling with? The decision to move [...]
Mumzie
y tearfest seems to be winding down today. The reason: a visit from my dear Aunt Flo. Looks like part of what I was experiencing was horrible PMS. I didn’t think my period would come on so soon after my failed IVF cycle, but who the heck knows anymore. My period does whatever it wants [...]
Doing The Next Right Thing
t has been hard for me to write these past couple of weeks. I’ve gotten into quite the funk. I didn’t post about it but I just had another failed IVF cycle last week. We went to retrieval with my one pitiful follicle and for the third time had no egg upon retrieval. Of course [...]
