Halloween is coming in HOT!! I love Halloween, and all the costumes and fun that goes with it. I just kind of suck at it, that’s all. I know so many people that are great at the Halloween thing. My friend Amy is a star when this holiday rolls around. She does the makeup and …

Dear Young Carol
Have you ever thought of writing your younger self a letter, from your current self, letting that child know it will all be ok? I just read an online one from a news personality to his 12 year old self, regarding his coming out. (Going back to Friday’s blog just a little bit.) It was …
Coming Out Day
A friend of mine posted this morning that it is National Coming Out Day. I believe it is to be supportive of young people thinking about “coming out” to their family and friends, which is a big deal for so many young gay individuals. So many are afraid of the reaction, of being rejected by …
Ellen, GWB, and Kindness
Ellen DeGeneres is all over Facebook this morning. Apparently she was sitting with George Bush at the Packers’ game in Dallas the other day. And some of her fans were questioning that, because of all of his stuff from back in the day. We all know it, so no sense dragging that up. She addressed …
The Darndest Thing
It has come to my attention that I may not know myself as well as I think I do. It really is a shock to me. Not exactly earth shattering, but a foundation shaker, to be honest. I was having a conversation on Monday night at work with some of my regulars. We were talking …
Rockstar!!
Hey, have I mentioned how much I love my gym? Because they gave me another reason this morning, an unexpected honor came my way! We work pretty hard every day at FIRE, if you want results you have to. And we get little rewards as well as all of the support and high fives. When …
Sober October
I got a Facebook group invite the other day from Hans, the Big Guy from FIRE. It’s to participate in Sober October. I joined the group, to see what was up (that’s how they get you, you know!) and it is as billed: Stay sober for the month of October, not a drop of alcohol. …
Darlene
I usually write my little birthday tribute to this special woman on Facebook, but now I have this platform, that I paid to be a part of, so here is where it happens!! My stepmom, Dar, was born on this day. September 26th. I feel bad I forget what year, but she was a few …
My Work Family
As an adult, most of the time you have to work to get it all done. Forced to leave your home each day and go deal with the Real World. It can be ok, but doing other stuff always sounds better. In order to make work tolerable, you develop your “Work Family.” I have a …
Autumn
I figure I should write something a little nicer today, instead of spewing my hatred of weird, cheap people I encounter. It is the first day of Fall. I love fall, all the beautiful colors the trees and fall flowers give us, apple cider, sunny days with crisp cool nights. I am digging out the …
