JAWS has returned to the theaters for its 50th anniversary. I still remember when it first came out. I, however, have never seen it. I was too young to see it when it originally came out, and I love the water too much to have seen it since. It’s at our local theater, which is…

It’s been four months since the accident. Some things are better, some are the same, and time still marches on. The truck was totaled. Well, there was $18,000 worth of damage done to it, enough that the insurance said she was toast. Bye, Denver. You were an excellent truck, and my husband loved you dearly.…

So, Friday the 16th of May, I had finally found the sideboard/buffet I wanted to replace the island in my kitchen that I frankly HATE. I had found one at our local Restore store. My elder son and I had found it a few days before, did the measuring thing, and then I had to…

So, my doctor told me that the test came back ‘good’. What does that mean exactly? Well, despite the fact that I had 38% of my uterus showing signs of cancer (which I am told is better than 50%, which is where I roll my eyes and think really?) there was no sign that it…

Well, as the title suggests, I am back from my cruise. Actually I have been back for two long weeks. Also had my surgery last week. Well, almost 10 days ago. For those that haven’t been paying attention, it was a Radical Hysterectomy, including all the bits that make up a woman. Why? Endometrial Cancer.…

So second day on the big ass ship. Still seasick, just not as bad. Let me tell you that considering how much we paid for this trip, it absolutely suck to spend it trying not to throw up. Well, usually not quite that bad. Unless the swells are like 10+ feet tall. And they have…

My current ‘favorite’ one is: “Of the types of cancer to have, this is one of the two best types.” Ummm… excuse me? We are talking about CANCER, right? There are good types to have, or at least less bad? Unfortunately, this is not the first time that I have heard this sentence. And guess…

Let’s start with sex, which, of course, is related to the other two, especially in today’s political climate. Growing up in the 1980s, I was taught that certain things were never discussed with people we didn’t know well and never at the dinner table, even if it was just family in attendance. These, of course,…

It started when I was living with Curt. He was extremely physically, sexually, emotionally, and verbally abusive. It didn’t start out that way. In the beginning, he was sweet and understanding. His temper rarely showed. I thought I was lucky: He knew about my ex, Bobby. He knew about the cheating (and eventual announcement that…

Looking forward to a new year is almost always filled with hope for a new and better future. Resolutions and promises are made, plans are plotted out to ‘make this year the best year ever!’ And yet…. And yet. Something happens and people give up on their hopes for a better, more prosperous new year.…
