The past few weeks have been great. My kids have been reasonably good, my husband has been reasonably good, my animals have been pure delights. My house is in order, I’ve been developing outlines in my head for future blogs, books, projects, etc. School started yesterday and although it was kind of yawny, it was fabulous, as well. Life has been good for 2 whole weeks (well, maybe 10 days, but who’s counting?) KABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!! Welcome back, Mercury Retrograde! You have killed my internet...
I never know exactly what I’m going to get when I make that call. Usually, its a run-down of everyone’s health concerns, but tonight it was all about the ice storms in the south.

Dr. Nightmare routed me past not one, but two cemetaries and in his quirky way, asked me at least once about wanting...

President Obama reaffirms his support of abortion rights. 3. Senate passes the Ledbetter act, giving women the ability to sue for wage gaps in the workplace. Equal pay, people. Equal pay. Remember that word, “hope?” It may be creeping back...
Today is the 36th anniversary of the constitutional decision that marked a woman’s right to abortion. Today, I celebrate my freedom over my own body, heart and mind and the notion that women are not chattel and are not simple-minded creatures, solely put on the planet to reproduce.
