Apparently by not writing, there could be blog withdrawals happening right now. I definitely don’t want to do that to you. So, therefore, I must write. I have never been good about the idea of asking for what I want. I don’t want to come across as selfish or ungrateful for what I have. I …

margaret
I met Margaret in the summer of 2006…shortly after hubby and I had officially started dating. She was married to his best friend. She was a new kind of friend to me.

don’t care
I don’t care what you think. As much as I say I don’t care…I do. I want people to love me and accept me as I am…as I go through my own journey to figure out who I’m mean to be. I give away enough information to have people call me a “friend”. However, I …
shh…let’s talk about sex
I heard the song “Let’s Talk about Sex” by the Salt-N-Pepa. I don’t care how old the song is…it still makes me smile every time I hear it. I mean, who doesn’t want to talk about sex? Oh, that’s right… lots of people. I remember when my best friend and I were talking one day, …
