I always feel like I should be waiting for the “other shoe to drop” when we get so many days of gorgeous weather in a row this time of year. Tornado Alley is aptly named – trust me. We are enjoying our third day in a row of absolutely lovely weather, and tomorrow is forecasted to be more of the same. (Where’s that shoe?) Deciding I’d...

It’s technically Sunday already, but I haven’t been to bed yet, so for me, it’s still Saturday. (Like that logic?) I have had the most productive day here in my office, even though it was absolutely gorgeous outside. I started at 8:30 this morning, coffee in hand, house quiet. Prima Donna Daughter spent the night at a friend’s last night, and...

I’ve had my programmer hat on for the last several days, eyeball deep in magazine-style themes for WordPress. I had installed WordPress locally here on my laptop because I wanted to develop a magazine-style theme for my coaching website/blog. I got the structure of it done late, late last night and was SO proud of it…it is just what I’ve wanted for...

The phone rang. Caller ID says it was Prima Donna Daughter’s school calling. Oh boy – what now? I answer and this familiar, but atypically meek little voice says, “Mom, it’s me. I’m in Ms. Holland’s office at school. I was holding my scissors in my hand in class and accidentally cut off my eyebrow. Will you come and get...

Second Son and I went to my parents’ house this weekend to help Dad with a few projects. Prima Donna Daughter was at her dad’s this weekend, so SS and I went out Friday night and came back last night. We got there about 6:30pm and spent a little time outside with Dad surveying the proposed projects (digging up rocks, lining the ditch at the end of the...

Senate Bill 1878, authored by Rep. Pam Peterson (R-Tulsa) and Rep. Todd Lamb (R-Edmond), which thankfully Gov. Brad Henry vetoed yesterday, would have required anyone seeking to terminate a pregnancy to have an ultrasound within one hour before the procedure. Oklahoma legislation has stooped to a new low, in my opinion. Why? Well, according to the Oklahoma House of...

More than one person this week has commented that if they lived my life they’d be out of breath. I find that curious, actually. It doesn’t seem that chronically breathless to me… Between the running documentary on this blog and my Outlook appointment calendar – I guess I can see their point. Since my last post, I have: Gotten the kids off to...

Today was spent catching up on more than the flood of emails awaiting me. I had a fairly productive day, actually: Did a client’s taxes from start to finish…got to give her good news, too. Love that! Had a great session with a coaching client Wrote a month’s worth of blog posts for a client’s blog (love that WP lets you do that!) Compiled,...

No, I didn’t go anywhere…physically, that is. Other than to work concessions yesterday morning for the Special Olympics and a harried trip through Wal-Mart on the way home, I’ve been here all weekend. You’d think I’d have glorious tales of domestic accomplishment to report, but alas, that is not the case. I did give it a half-assed try,...

A. Because there’s nothing worth watching on TV (even with cable!) B. I’m too tired from a very long week to focus my eyeballs on a book C. A three-hour click fest on a particular blogroll turned up 1 – just 1 – decent new blog to frequent D. Did I mention I’m tired? Which, of course, precludes going out, even if I had $ or a date. So I...
