I’ve been mostly ignoring my birthday this year - besides already having my present. ( I’ll have to write about the new sewing machine when I have a chance. It’s been a little bumpy road, but mostly a dream.) I can’t believe how much time has passed and how many people have come [...]

27 to 40
Posted in About Me on June 2, 2007 | No Comments »
It’s birthday month. In 27 short days I will celebrate my 40th birthday. I can’t believe it. It seems like only 5 years ago that I was getting out of college and starting out.
Oh the irony of my life and the things I have.
I have no job, nor career to speak of, [...]
My First Race - 10 Years Ago
Posted in About Me, Exercise on May 28, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I started running 10 years ago. I wrote about my experience on our computer and have kept that file all these years. I was 29 at the time and had just had my 2nd knee surgery two years previous. Oh how the times have changed. Read it and weep!
I ran my [...]

A Day in My life 2007
I am awake. I know it’s 5:33 am. It’s always 5:33 am. Momentarily, I will hear the squeal of my infant son. He is awake. It’s mealtime and playtime.
I shut my eyes and wait. The chortles finally arrive. I pull myself from my [...]

Some morning at Shelly’s House - 1999
I rise from my sleep, tired and talkless. Gil has already pounded around the bedroom to wake me up. I greet him in the kitchen without a smile, but a hug. He runs out the door to work and I find solace in a banana and [...]
Eleven and Five

Today was a day of significance in my life.
Eleven years ago I packed up my 1993 Chevy Corsica with many of my personal items and headed East - leaving Wisconsin. It was a cold day, with temps about 20 below zero. I drove for 11 hours and stopped off in Eastern Ohio [...]

1998 Dodge Stratus -174,112 miles
1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager - 225,414 miles

I drive the Voyager mostly. It [...]
What’s in Your Purse?
Posted in About Me on July 31, 2006 | No Comments »
I know that there was a meme that went around about this a while back. Since this is a meme-free zone, I didn’t participate. But today, since I am contemplating a new “bag” and have a little one on the way, I looked to see what I actually have in my purse.
So here [...]
More Fun Things from My Summer Vacation

We’ve been back for a week already. Gil went back into the grind on Tuesday for 12-hour shifts and an 8-hour on Saturday. But I still fondly recall my week away from Virginia back in my stomping grounds. Here are some more highlights.
My favorite food items - Italian fries, Friday Fish Fries, [...]
