One of my favorite things to do in my down time (haha, yeah like I actually have extra time) is to shop online. You know how it is these days around the holidays when you have to get a gift for everyone in your life and you don’t want to spend one million dollars on gifts that you know your friends and family may or may not use. It is hard to find that perfect item for...

Radio Static
The hair on the back of my neck rose as I left the parking lot. My work day had begun kissed by fog and was ending in much the same fashion, the though kiss seemed to have progressed to a something more. So thick was the fog that visibility was born from the breath that swallowed light - my pulse began to race. Imagination creates sleight of hand, I see movement and apparitions that aren’t...

Back to the classroom...
I wasn’t sure this is what I wanted. I had entertained the idea, but hadn’t planned on returning to school in pursuit of a higher degree until life had become more settled. But, life had other plans.
In this economy, jobs are sparse and competition fierce. Locally, it is not uncommon to find those with four and six-year degrees applying for entry-level jobs. Job requirements have also...

Coming clean...
Spring usually triggers that need to clean and while I did suffer from symptoms of the spring cleaning bug, I found that it didn’t strike until the final few weeks of August. Sadly, it was brought on more by necessity than a willingness or want to clean. There are times where I wish I had enough disposable income so I could keep a cleaning crew on speed dial for moments such as those, a...

the battle of the black wolf and the white wolf →
Posted by the always fabulous walkingzero, my ninja partner in crime.
Food for thought…while I understand and have run with black wolves, I must say…I the thing I like best (and that reminds me most of my own Grandfather) running with the white.
I will be vigilant of what wolf I feed.

Trying to see all these famous NYC filming sites
Guest post written by Gayle Laws
I’m really trying to grab life by the moment, especially now that me and my husband are retired. We just have so much more time to do fun things together and we’re trying to take advantage of that. Plus, these last few years we’ve been more frugal with our money so that we can enjoy spending it during our retirement.
One of our first trips...

My own boutique...
It appears that at some point over the last couple years my dislike for doing laundry caused a scary amassment of clothing. I have found things I don’t remember buying. Glad I held off from purchasing more pants and shirts…I’m not sure how to make all this fit in my closet. - Buried by Clothing

Scrubs, Scarce No More
A decade has come and gone since I last wore a pair of scrubs. Needless to say, they weren’t the most comfortable. Back then the variety seen now weren’t available unless you were a talented seamstress with time to spare. My first and only pair of scrubs were a dark purple and chafed in places best not chafed.
When I did my clinicals, I had to procure my scrubs from a medical store,...
