That’s Not Something You Write Every Day #2

I was on Facebook again and this picture of my son, Jonathan, caught my eye. It was taken by his sister, Adriana. I couldn’t help but write, “He got those skills from his mama.” My brother-in-law, Wilf, responded, “Pole dancing looking good.” Oops. “Uh… pole dancing… not sure he got those skills from his mama,” […]

That’s Not Something You Write Every Day #1

I told you I don’t like the month of October. I think the month of October makes me extraordinarily crabby; a friend of mine posted this link to her Facebook page: http://www.realfarmacy.com/97-of-terminal-cancer-patients-previously-had-this-dental-procedure/ and then wrote, “Very interesting… I’d love to hear some thoughts!” Well, I let her know my thoughts. Loud and clear. I couldn’t help […]

That’s Not Something You Read Every Day #6

I know I need to get out more, but I find I’ve been entertained easily by the dumbest things lately. Maybe because I’m still happy to be alive in spite of cancer and all that. I get comments on my blog every now and then and most of them are from real, everyday people; some, […]

That’s Not Something You Hear Every Day #23

That’s Not Something You Hear Every Day #22

Sarcasm runs in our family. If you’ve read this blog for any longer than five minutes, you already know that I’m sarcastic with a flair for morbid humor thrown in for good measure. However, I think my daughter, Adriana, might be even worse. Maybe I should explain. Instead of reading books like I should be, […]

That’s Not Something You Hear Every Day #21

In my last post, I was yammering on about all the social media that is out there. The only one that I use regularly (and sparingly) is Facebook. Today, I was glancing over the news feed when a post caught my eye: Carol said, “I know it is so wrong for me to say this, […]

That’s Not Something You Hear Every Day #20

There’s Facebook. There’s Twitter. Then, there’s Myspace, LinkedIn, and Instagram. I’ve heard people mention Spotify and Snapchat, Pandora and Pinterest. I don’t know what Tumblr is, but I always want to throw an “e” in there. I don’t care about most of the above or the 800 other things people keep insisting I’m missing out […]
