Tick, Tick, Tick.... DINGGGGGGGGGGG

The last few days I've felt like Ron Burgandy after his dog was punted off the bridge, as if I was in a glass case of emotion.  The problem was I couldn't pinpoint why.  Little things were working me up and I felt a little "la la."  (La la is what I decided to call it when I was feeling crazy so I wasn't actually confessing that I felt like I was going crazy.)  I could blame my hormones, but it wasn't the right timing... and usually that just results in me being irritable, not weepy.  And then my lovely app, Timehop, clued me in.  See, everyday Timehop shows me my social media posts for that day from a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, and sometimes as many as six years ago.  It was while I was scrolling through that stroll down memory lane that I realized the significance of this week and what was making me so emotional. 

It's a New Season

Well, the release of this blog coincides with a Facebook announcement.  Don’t you know, nothing is official until you post it on Facebook?  I kid... well sorta!  ;-)  The big news is...... I’M MOVING!  After spending almost 15 years here in Florida I am moving back home at the end of May!  It’s exciting and terrifying all at the same time.  I’m moving back to the tri-state/Ohio Valley area.  I haven’t lived up there since I was 12.  So, though it is familiar it hasn’t been my place of residence for twenty years.  Just the thought that I could have lived away from some place for 20 years makes me feel a little old.  

Riding the Waves of Grief

Today would have been my Mom’s 58th birthday.  This will be the second birthday since she passed away.  I got an analogy the other day as I was sitting at the beach about grief.  It’s kinda like surfing, or at least how I see surfing seeing as how I have never done it myself.  

My Car Wish List

Well as you know I'm car shopping.  It's funny how everyone and their brother knows someone that can help you find a car.  It's awesome, and overwhelming all at the same time.
