Recently it’s come to my attention that I like being called darlin’. Makes me smile every time.- I love giving people compliments. But there are perimeters:
- I usually do a better job of this with strangers, people I don’t know well, or people I know very well. This is because I either don’t really give a crap as to how you take my compliment or you know me well enough to know I’m a gushy sap so it’s all good.
- I tend to be more reserved at compliment giving with those I’m hoping to know better – don’t want to scare them off…
- Blinky the Clown died this week. Locals will know who he is. I was on his show and he sang me happy birthday when I was about four. I think I wore a red corduroy dress. The things we remember.
- I’ve realized a character flaw lately. Five and half years doing project/account management has made me a very responsive person. If you contact me, chances are I’m going to get back to you very quickly. Most people in my life don’t do the same and then I find myself frustrated. I need to work on that.
- I’m ridiculously excited to have a nice, long weekend! I gots lotsa plans, people!

My mother is an encyclopedia of useless information (sorry, ma, but it's true) - no one can beat her at Trivial Pursuit. As I age, I become more like dear old mom everyday. I routinely tell people about resources, recipes, tips, tricks, or websites I've heard about, tried, live by, etc. until one of my clients urged me to start a blog. So here it is! My perpetual ramblings. I hope you find them useful and amusing. If you don't, you can either keep it to yourself or leave me a well constructed critique.
