Well, it’s been eight years today. It seems like it was yesterday, honestly. Time has really flown by, and I have had so many thoughts about him over the years that the amount is uncountable. Eight years ago today, my hero and mentor passed away. I have been thinking about him since I got up …

Just testing this post from email action thing. Hoping it works, as it makes it much easier to post my thoughts!
Old Men and The Things They Say
10/31/10 Well, yesterday was a fun day. We went to the ballgame of our favorite college team. We had free tickets. Note that I said, "had", because somehow, in the parking lot, I lost one of said free tickets. Mind you, these were the $55 variety tickets, and they were pretty good seats. I sure …
Moxie Loo for Mayor
November 4, 2010 You may be wondering if my name is actually Moxie Loo. No, it's not. It's my dog's name. The same dog I gave a horrible haircut to today. (Hey, I'm not a groomer, but I tried. Next time, she'll just go to the groomer.) The same dog who has eaten / destroyed …
The Ramen Noodle Shrimp Experience
When our daughter was about 12, she decided to cook some of those ramen noodles in a cup. You know, the kind that you put hot water in, cover with a towel for a few minutes, and then eat and enjoy. She put the noodle concoction together while I was out of the room. A …
Cookie Sheets Aren’t Plastic
My daughter had a friend staying the night recently. They are both in the 8th grade, so they aren't that smart yet, apparently. After reading this, you'll understand why I say that. We had a nice dinner, and we were watching television in the den. The kitchen is the next room over, and we have …
Cloud Formations
Today, in the pool, as usual, I was looking up at the sky while I was doing the backstroke, and while I was relaxing floating on my back after the whole experience was over. I saw so many shapes that were recognizable. I saw a Moxie (my dog), a bunny, and a thing that slightly …
I Name Plants & Other Things
Okay. I have to admit it. I name just about everthing. Even my trees have names. I was an only child. I had a lot of free time to make up imaginary friends. We also lived in the middle of absolutely nowhere, so most of my imaginary friends needed to be a little more real …
The iPod Battery Saga
So, yesterday, I decided that I really didn't want to pay $150 for a new iPod. I also didn't want to pay $71 to have a new battery installed. That sounded like just a bit much. So, today, I went shopping. I found a display model at Sam's that was $90 for an 8G model …
Heart Association and History
Today I visited a place I had not visited in over 7 years. My ex-husband's father was a heart transplant in 1991 when my son was only one year old. He lived about 12.5 years after the transplant. He was, during those years a great volunteer for the Heart Association and other organizations. They even …
