early morning car parking
So I have been riding my bike to work every day that I can these days, and for the third day in a row there has been a nice car parked by the lake, overlooking a marina, with a man and a woman in it talking. Early in the morning, like 7-ish. The […]

I spent the weekend at my friend’s cottage. Three days of hanging out, doing nothing more than golfing, swimming, jetskiing, reading, eating, drinking, and talking. My friend’s family and friends are great people. We were not far from civilization (the Piggly Wiggly was a short 10 minute ride away), but I packed everything […]

I like PostSecret. Nearly every week, there is something that strikes me as something as I could have said. Sometimes, it is just something that I hadn’t thought of before.
This week, someone wrote in to say she was a competitive woman, that she slept with a married man, and ended up winning […]
plant food
This is like manna from heaven. I have started to use this plant food stuff in my weekly watering pitcher, and it’s like a jungle in here. My Easter Lily has four flowers on it, and the other plants my friend Kara brought when I moved back are growing like weeds. Before I […]

I am a voracious saver; I tend to put more money away than I should. There are two more people at work who are similar to me - we make good salaries but live as if we make half of it. Of course, then at the end I have a nice tidy sum […]

Another entry on my ‘write about this … sometime’ list is “secrets are kept when others don’t want to hear the truth”. (sorry, don’t have where it came from…) I first thought about this in terms of office information/gossip. As I moved up the “hear secrets” ladder at various places of employment, I […]

It only took 45 minutes to get home. Wind must have been at my back. Either way, it takes less time for me to get home on my bike than it does with public transport. Woo hoo.

I rode my bike to work today. Took just about an hour, riding along the lake. It’s a beautiful ride.

According to my trusty International Calendar from the RPCVs of Madison (order here), today - May 22 - is the day of Saint Rita of Cascia, the patron saint of desperate, seemingly impossible causes and situations.
Does this mean that if I pray to her, my desparate cause will disappear, or will I have […]
male companionship
There is a new male in my life, with whom I have been spending a lot of time lately. He is adorable; sometimes he’s a little cranky but when he ends the evening by sleeping on my chest, all is well.
This is, of course, Kara’s baby boy Ian. He’s about two months old […]
