bobby speaks

Well, hell. I’ve arrived. My first blog-fight… there are other corners of blogland that have regular scuffles (Heir to Blair comes to mind), but this is my first.
Before I write anything else, I want to thank my bloggy cheerleaders… your “rah, rah, rah’s” (past & present) are incredibly appreciated. And thank you for your protective [...]

jumping back in

I’ve been quiet for a while now. Quiet here, quiet verbally, even quiet mentally. We’ve been chipping away at Project RE, but I honestly haven’t spent much time mulling it over. And this is VERY unusual for me.
Why the quiet? Since BabyLoss #3, I’ve just bowed out of blogland for a while. Too many losses, [...]

Never mind… sorry, ya’ll

After mulling it over, I think I’m gonna stick around in my current location for now, at least. Sorry for the false alarm, and making all you nice people leave comments (although I do appreciate all ya’ll saying hi!).
I know some of you may be wondering what all the drama is about. In a nutshell, [...]

good things

I just had an explosion of good things in the last hour or so… ceeeel-e-brate good times, c’mon!! duh-duh-ta-duh-duh!!

Just got the phone call that our house refinance is going through, and we close on Friday… YIPPEE! This refinance has been pending for months, and I was starting to think that it just might not happen. [...]

Happy July, damn it.

Dr Jerry today.  We were trains passing in the night, or ships, or… hell, anyway, we totally didn’t connect. I kept trying to talk about the wrongness and sadness of wanting something so badly that should be a natural process, and he kept trying to tell me that these are MY issues and no one [...]

Q & A

I’m never sure how to respond to questions left in the comments, so I’m just gonna do it all in one swipe. I love comments… keep ‘em coming! Here goes:
Q:   Did you grow the tomatoes and squash and things from SEEDS?
A: Oh, heck no. I bought them from the plant nursery when they were already [...]

Top 25 Posts

In my constant search for new blogs to add to my Google Reader (love, love, want to hug & kiss Google Reader), I came across an interesting idea… the concept of a compilation page.  It’s just what it sounds like — a page that lists all the top posts, thus (theoretically) giving a quick snapshot [...]

knitting & mosaic-making

Thank ya’ll for your comments… I cried more than once reading your kind & thoughtful words. I felt quite alone in real life this weekend, but every time I got online, there was another comment or message letting me know that you guys were out there. So thank you, so very much.
During my quiet time, [...]

New look for Spring

I’ve been playing with my look again… wanted something new in honor of spring. I didn’t want to completely remove the pic of me, Mama, Jen & Sue that was the previous header, so I’ve also edited the “About” tab. We’ll see how long this lasts — have to say that the biggest complaint I [...]

Childless & childish, that’s me

So the fury has (mostly) passed. Thank you all for your comments… you’re right, my name is my name and I need to proceed as previously planned despite the name-stealing twit. I’m pretty much to the place where I’ll be able to control my mouth when I talk to Grandma about it, as opposed to [...]
