Four Square

It’s a game.
Not the bad kind that silly adults play – not a mind game.
The good kind – the kind you play to have fun. The kind you played on the playground at recess. Fun, freeing, silly.  The kind that makes you smile.
Maybe 4 square or hot potato.  No one wants control of the ball. [...]

Has BlogHer Become SwagHer?

I’m waiting for the blog posts from several trusted colleagues and others I read in the blogosphere about BlogHer2009 to get the real scoop.  I did not attend this year. I attended the 2nd Blogher in 2007 which for the most part I loved. There was that whole high school mentality going on – I consistently overheard things [...]

Speaking of Neglected Blogs…

I was doing some much-needed catching up on RSS feeds when I saw that Mel is back to blogging and had a very cute photo of Simone with me as the window dressing to the cuteness and it reminded me I was trying (and failing) to get back on my blogging horse and really have no a [...]

Comments Rules of the Road and Blog Harassment

Over the last week and a half, a post I did almost 2 years ago about military recruitment went from being the most viewed post every day to crazy people going beserk and leaving harassing comments on it.  One guy who sometimes identifies himself as Wyona posted 6 comments between midnight and 4am, all harassing in nature. You [...]

Out with the Old

I updated my bio today. It was time. I’m not who I was exactly when I closed the old blog about my old life and started this blog about what would become my new life.  I’d like to think I’m a better, less crazy version of my same self.   I’m mostly in a good place these [...]

It’s All About the Crazy Up In Here

Conversation I was drug into at the water cooler (& left abruptly) at the YMCA. Let’s say for the sake of discussion global warming does not exist and the Earth is far beyond anything we as humans could damage. I don’t agree with this – I’m just saying for the sake of the convo I [...]

The Facebook Meme on Wanderingbella

My pal Al had the idea to take this meme to the blogosphere so here goes. Plus it’s way more uplifting than my earlier gripe about how I’m 34 but my body feels like its 79.
1. A great, great, great, great uncle of mine named Samuel Mudd was mistakenly arrested for being the Dr. Samuel [...]

Urgh – Griping Ahead

I’m feeling great and generally optimistic emotionally. But the Winter of My Physical Discontent is upon me and working on changing said attitude to something other than optimistic. Pretty much since July I’ve not felt great physically. The July through January feeling like crap was the result of my herniated discs.  I worked very hard to get [...]

Not Around and About

Sometimes I don’t feel like blogging. But this is not one of those times. I’ve had several ideas or things come up recently that I would love to blog about. Like Simone’s arrival, or the fundraiser I am helping out with – Sip and Tuck – or the new President or stuff about the dogs.  But there [...]

Step Away from the Uggs

Ugg boots are my latest shoe obsession. As the name indicates, they are kind of ugly-cute. Sort of like Crocs (yes I know, I slammed Crocs about a year ago for being ugly. That was before I herniated 3 discs in my back). In any case, after the whole herniated discs incident, I’ve finally had [...]
