New Year's Eve rang in quietly this year. This is our second anniversary together and I have some beautiful flowers to commemorate the occasion. Aren't they pretty?? Our original plans were to go see a friend's band play, but we had a little hiccup and stayed home. We made a bit of New Year's Eve... Continue Reading →
My New Internet Home
I've been doing a bit of moving. On the Internet, that is. Not in real life. Yet. I've used Blogger for years and I felt that I was outgrowing the Blogger platform. You've been good to me Blogger, but it's time to move on. It's me, not you. Well, maybe it's you a little bit.... Continue Reading →

Meeting the Family
Unique sets of challenges exist for those of us who are divorced and re-enter the dating scene. Many involve our kids, but I faced one this past weekend: meeting the parents. Immediately, I was thrown back in time to my 19-year-old self. Would they like me? Am I dressed too casually for dinner? Is my lipstick... Continue Reading →
