Here's some facebook status updates I thought up but never wrote (feel free to steal them if you are at a loss for words)......loves believing in reincarnation. It is just fun to imagine rude and mean people as crickets...hasn't cried wolf in a while...perhaps a meow is in order...is not buying everything Annie says; especially that part about the sun coming out tomorrow...feels like a woodpecker chipped a crack into my brain...took the road less traveled and now knows why no one goes that wa...

I got a new gadget this weekend. I am so excited! It is a smartphone, not an iphone, but something similar that I can use for texting, email, web browsing, the whole kit and kaboodle. I am so excited. I feel like a nerd now...technologically with the "in-crowd." We have really come a long way from just relying on desktop computers I feel like I can do what I need to do anywhere now. I can stay connected! I am free to move about and not be trapped in my office. Yay!!! Read Full Story

So if you read my latest post, you know that I am giving up this old shack...turning over a new leaf, and staying goodbye to Melinda Zook. For those of you who don't know, that is not my real name. I started this blog anonymously due to the fact there are way too many creepies out there and no way did I want to put myself out there for anyone to look up. Not that they'd really care to but you know...you can never be too careful.I also wanted to be able to write what I wanted to write and n... Read Full Story

It's back to school time and like clockwork the sun is setting earlier and the weather is getting cooler. It really makes a change feel like a change. As much as I love fall weather, apple picking and Halloween, I feel like this summer just went too fast. I could use one more week to take a few more day trips. I could use one more day to soak in the sun. I guess it really isn't a sign all warm weather is officially over. We will probably get a few more days where the heat sets in and te... Read Full Story

It's been kind of a tiring day. I think I am just mentally exhausted too trying to think about getting things ready for school, work, schedules changing...ugh, just when I thought everything was settled. Is it ever really?Things have been really crazy too at work. I really hope that the dust settles. Projects get started, then stop, then start up again. I feel like my head is swirling; plus I wonder how long things will last. We seem to be have been slow for quite a while. They are als... Read Full Story

Yo, yo, so I moved my Entrecard up to the top of my page. Come on and drop on my baby! I am making it easy for you....please, please, please. I want to be on your list!By the way, here is a great list of blogs that have their Entrecard right on the top. I am just starting this list but plan to get a list of 300 to drop to daily. If your Entrecard is on top and you want to be on my list, please comment below. Also, I will be running monthly contests to win 1,000 EC credits to one of my 3... Read Full Story

Holy smokes, my neighbor is out there again, half naked mowing his lawn. I would love it if I had some mass notification system to let everyone know. The guy is a personal trainer and so he is chiseled. People should really see this... I wonder if I can sneak my camera over to the window to get a shot of his bod. Seriously, anyone who stops by my little old blog deserves a little eye candy. Read Full Story

One green bean...that's all I got in my garden.One measly little green bean. It looked so sad there on the vine, all by itself. I figured I could saute it up with some onions and make it feel really good. It must have been lonely out there, all by itself. Read Full Story

Death...luckily it seems to be nowhere around me. I feel so fortunate (knocking hard on a big piece of wood) that we have had no deaths recently. The last person I knew who passed away was a distant cousin who unfortunately took his own life and for what reason I have no idea. I have a few people that I know that have cancer and are in remission and doing well, and I bet death crosses their mind a lot. Or maybe they have learned to block it out so they can live better. I remember ponderin... Read Full Story

So tonight I had one of those moments...when you stop and just think...about life, about things...I was pausing with a glass of merlot at my lips, savoring the taste of those red grapes, hopefully induced with some resveratrol, providing me with an ounce of anti-aging benefits and that's when the thought came to me...more than a million people have touched my life...well, in some shape or form.What did I mean by a million people have touched my life? I am not even talking about meeting a mi... Read Full Story
