Personal insights At war with reality… Well, this should be fun. ————— To my friend… surely you will know this is about you. But it isn’t about you. It is how ‘you’ led me to a great personal insight that lends itself to a blog post. I sincerely hope you (and your family) won’t be [...]

The Comparison Trap
“Am I good enough?” Bred from insecurity Fed by silliness *************************************** A dear friend of mine helped me one time to define the different voices competing in my head… you know the voices – they never say things like “wow, you look wonderful today” or “what a nice power point presentation”. They say things like… [...]

Even My Tired is Tired
The body begs “sleep”; The mind succumbs to rubbish, dressed as important. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am dog tired. I am a dog-who-was-left-on-vacation-and-walked-400-miles-back-to-her-owner’s-house-in-a-week-then-had-10-puppies tired. There are three things responsible for this. 1. The Oscars. I’m not all that into movies, but I love to watch the Oscars. The clips are fun, the jokes are usually ok, the [...]

If it’s Velvet does it count? On becoming Charlotte…
Oh mirror, mirror Reflect me cool, young, hip, smooth; Deceive my eyes, years. ”””””””””””””””””””””’ The similarities are beginning to worry me. It’s been happening for a while. But it just used to be in how my brain worked or what made me laugh. Now it is appearing in more troublesome ways. I’m becoming Charlotte. I’ll [...]

Dreading Tomorrow – A Ski Virgin’s Report
Yoda was right: “Too old to begin the training.” I should have listened… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are some blog postings that are quick to write – seem to come out and need very little editing. Others take more time as I hem and haw about sentences for what seems like hours. Today had better be a [...]

Dad, Now I Understand
My parent’s wisdom: fits better with age, although acknowledged too late. ……………………………………………………….. The title of this posting is one of the hardest to see in writing. Who wants to admit their parent may actually have a valid point? Granted, it is far easier to acknowledge in my 40′s than in 20′s, but still, it ain’t [...]

Doing My Taxes Sucks
Hell defined? Tax Prep. Sob… Moan… I picked a bad day To stop sniffing glue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am so grateful that I’m related to CPAs. Three of them in fact. My mom, dad and sister are all CPAs. I spent most tax seasons and summers working in their CPA firm too, but when the time [...]

It’s My Birthday!!
My birthday demons: vanquished thanks to a Cosmo, Cake and nice strangers. “““““““““““““““““ Yesterday was my birthday. And it was a fabulous day. I don’t have a history of great birthdays. As my parents are CPAs and my birthday falls in Tax Season, my birthday wasn’t always celebrated on the specific day. It was usually [...]

Am I being replaced?
Sitting here jealous of homework and puppy walks. I don’t wanna work. ””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” The change has been quite subtle… My daughter would run to Dad as much as me when she hurt herself and needed comfort. And then the kids would call me Dad (granted, they would call him Mom). But a few weeks ago [...]
