It is indeed booger season. Snot rules this time of year. It’s gross, but everyone is affected by it, so I feel it is ok to talk about it, sort of. This came up this morning after my workout, with one of the coaches and another lady I work out with. Coach Lynn had busted …

Random Ramblings
I haven’t been writing much, it’s been a busy-ish week, and focusing on one topic is tough sometimes. Let’s see where some random thoughts take us. Work has been pretty good as of late. It’s the holiday season, so people are getting very generous. I am in a group on the Facebook of service industry …
Merry Happy Ho Ho Holidays
I work near a mall, and in a very heavy retail area. So this time of year I get a lot of weary Christmas shoppers and I love talking to them about their trials and tribulations of trying to get ready for their holidays. Good times, really. One of my favorites is the people who …
That Old Feeling
This is not about me feeling old, now that I have crossed the 50 threshold. I am not going to harp on that anymore. It’s done, and now I just look for decent Early Bird Specials. If you know any, reach out. Wink wink. I have a pretty fantastic family. I would never have admitted …
49 Years, 364 Days
Tomorrow is the day. The one I have been counting down for the past year. I turn 50 years old. I am not dreading it, but more looking forward to it, really. It’s a milestone, and it sounds serious to say “I’m 50.” Like yeah, that’s right, I am an adult now, a real grown-up! …
Hi Holidays, Hi!!
It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving. This is the start of the swing into the holidays. A lot of people take time off for prepping for Thursday, lucky bastards. Grocery stores are hopping. I am probably not stepping foot into Walmart for a while, if I can avoid it, which I can these days, thanks Amazon! …
That First Year
I wrote earlier this week about losing my friend Marco last year, and his influence in my life. The actual anniversary date was yesterday, and I have been thinking about how losing someone affects you for that first year. It’s different for people, depending on who you lost, how they passed, and quite honestly, how …
Language Lessons
I have been thinking a lot about this, and it is kind of a tough question when I get down to it. Who has been the greatest influence in my life? I am not talking about family or significant others. Not my parents or siblings, their influence is very obvious and while I certainly don’t …
You Look Really Nice Today
I started something a few years ago, probably prompted by something on Facebook, where I began giving random compliments to people. Things like “I like that sweater” or how cute some boots are a lady is wearing. Little things I notice to lift someone else up a little bit. It takes very little effort, but …
Determined Motivation
This gym experience I talk about often has done more than just changed my physical appearance. It has given me a group of people to be friends with, but more than just that, a support system of other FIRE members. We have some Facebook groups, and then you get to be friends with a lot …
