Speeches and Beaches – project me post 850

Published on 2012-05-14 11:17:16

I’m sitting in that mixes space of being excited for each moment but also knowing I’ll be so relieved when it’s all over. I’m officially an insomniac, but know that too shall pass. It’s a combination of tomorrow and then Friday and I think my brain will allow me to find some normality … until the next [...] > read more

Fast cars and unexpected adventures – project me post 849

Published on 2012-05-08 11:23:06

I think we all find ourselves saying, “I should have done this ages ago.” On the other hand, I truly believe everything happens for a reason and after days of not blogging, I  couldn’t wait to get through as much of the to-do list and just get here. Just a few weeks ago I felt [...] > read more

Confessions of a neurotic cat mommy – project me day 845

Published on 2012-04-26 10:59:59

I’m a mommy of three! If you ask anyone, they’ll tell you that I’m too neurotic to have children, so my cats will do just fine. If I had chosen to have any other kinds of cats except for my gorgeous Persians, I wouldn’t be such a strict cat mom. Funny how everyone scares me [...] > read more

Published on 2012-04-25 12:09:19

I would have called this post, ‘you’ll find them at the food table at funerals’.
