This is my world as I see it—you might see it my way, you might not.
Today might be the day when I actually get to post here all the information I know. Maybe, no promises. It all depends on what happens at 1:00 PM this afternoon. I know I am ready for the world to know all the facts that I know. Watch out, this could become interesting this afternoon. [...]
Alright here it is. I have been in a long drawn-out legal battle. As most of you know I have been separated from my husband since January 19, 2009. He claims to want to get divorced. Of course I haven’t actually talked to him since March 17, so his views may have changed. His situation [...]
It’s Friday, need I say more?
Eldorado.
A very early morning phone call that made me smile.
New Jeeps, new houses, new jobs, new friends and new facts.
Bark for me please.
The last couple of weeks have been very trying for me. Some for reasons I have been able to share on here, another I can’t. Hopefully that will change real soon. Today I got GREAT news about the situation I can’t talk about yet. I am absolutely thrilled! Finally the wheels of justice have started [...]

Alright, time for a down and dirty post. I’m pissed off, scared, sad and confused; but confident, resilient and calm. Things are happening in my life that I have absolutely no control over. Lawyers are involved and massive amounts of money. To say my soon to be ex is a lying, underhanded, adulterous swine would [...]
I have a list of about 10+ other blogs that I read religiously every day. One of my favorites is okayfinedammit.com. Recently Maggie started another blog Violenced Unsilenced. When she started it I clicked over to it a few times. I’ll admit as much as I admired the people who shared their stories of abuse, neglect [...]
I had a moment today. I sobbed, I swore and then sobbed again.
Sunday, September 14 in Emery County, Utah the Crandall Canyon memorial “Heroes Among Us” by artist Karen Jobe Templeton was unveiled. It moved me beyond words. I literally sobbed. Even now I can’t look at it without tearing up. I can only compare [...]
I have wrestled with putting my political views on this blog. I talked with Chas at length about how I thought my views might alienate some all 15 of my loyal readers. Well, I can’t keep quiet about this. If you know me, or want to know me, you know how important this issue is [...]
Warning: this entire post is a rant. I am so mad right now I could just scream.
First I heard on the news that some pharmacists in this country are refusing to fill birth control prescriptions. WTF? Who do they think they are? I really don’t understand how they are getting away with this. I know [...]
“I'd like to have money. And I'd like to be a good writer. These two can come together, and I hope they will, but if that's too adorable, I'd rather have money.” -Dorothy Parker
