We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of [...]

November of last year (2007) found me visiting my granddad in Wyoming. He has had a recurring battle with lymphoma for several years and his health appeared to be rapidly deteriorating in late October, so of course I wanted to go see him.
I left Arizona for Wyoming with my heavy winter coat in tow. I [...]

As you may recall, my TT (total thyroidectomy) surgery has been moved to from April 9th to the 14th, checking in at 10:00 AM and surgery at noon (this is in Arizona Time, which, right now, is the same as Pacific Time). They moved because they hospital didn’t have an operating room on the 9th.

I’m one of those people who just doesn’t make new friends very easily. I believe friendship is important, and that it is essential to one’s happiness, but I find it more difficult to make new friends as I get older. I find it more and more difficult to trust people and to open up to [...]

Did you hear the one about the German woman who went in to get an operation on her leg and ended up with a new anus? No, this is not a joke…it really freakin’ happened!!
Even worse - Did you hear about the patient who went in for surgery to have a CANCEROUS kidney removed?…The doctor [...]

I couldn’t put my finger on it before…the reasons why I am feeling so scared, sad and distracted eluded me.
Yeah, I might have cancer…I probably do have cancer according to my pathology report. And yeah, I am going to have surgery to remove my thyroid in a few weeks.
But those aren’t the main reasons for my [...]

Okay, so I’m tired and bored today, and not much in the mood for working. I found this game. check it out and post your results in the comments!
I caught 65 apples the first time. I got progressively worse after that. Could it be the result of getting only 3 hours of sleep?

I miss:
The sparkling beauty of new fallen snow…
Seeing my breath when I go outside to get the mail in December…
The lovely perfume in the air just before a rainstorm in the mountains…
My son’s wonderful laugh…
My beautiful daughter’s smile…
The Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming…
Seeing deer everywhere I drive, everyday…
Cool summer evenings…
The little family owned grocery [...]

I love this poem by Rudyard Kipling. These stanzas proclaim some of the best advice for living I’ve ever heard . Tolerance, patience, strength and virtue….all are spoken of in If.
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make [...]

While she was here, my aunt and I took a short day trip to downtown Phoenix. First we went to an outdoor market where my aunt found some nice things to take back for her sister-in-law and a couple other people back home in Colorado. After the market we visited the Phoenix Science Museum, [...]

I’ve been in a bit of a funk the past few days. Maybe it’s the waiting for surgery. Maybe it’s the fear of the unknown. Or, maybe it’s just hormones. I don’t really know. But it’s been rough, and unpleasant in my head the past few days.
Being depressed is hard for me because I’m usually [...]

The Pastor’s Ass
The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.
The local paper read:
PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter [...]

Phoenix has, without a doubt, the worst drivers in the world! Honestly, I cannot get to work and back home again without some idiot trying to cut me off, pass me on the shoulder of the road or switch lanes without signaling, nearly running me off the road and/or into another car!
My husband and I [...]
