Jodie recently wrote about losing a job and what that means to some people. I have never, technically, been fired from a job. But, I did lose a job in the early 90s. It was tough for a lot of people seeking jobs back then. Hold tight for another trip down Memory Lane! College… When …
Style Imitating Art… It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged …
Gosh, it was strange to go back and read last month’s 10 on the 10th! I was so hopeful Nigel’s (and mine) long journey to walk was about to come to fruition. Unfortunately, as most of you know, the revision didn’t take place due to an infection in the joint. I’m hopeful we’ll know more …
Week 151! Wow! I spent all day today thinking it was Wednesday even though I know tomorrow is Friday! How’s that for being confuzzled? I had a wonderful time at the art museum today. I’m in a group that focuses on European art, and we had two docents present on different pieces of art. I’m …
It’s time for another Global Writing Challenge prompt. Our current membership consists of Deb’s World, Suzy Turner, Rosie Amber, Within a World of My Own, Once Upon a Time, Happily Ever After, and me. I chose this month’s theme and can’t wait to read everyone’s take on it! On top of the wonderfully different opinions and thoughts, the writing …

If you want to read the post with all the info and more information about my look, you can find it here. The interpretations for …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome back to my interpretation of a piece of art created by a very unique artist. Salazar, Shelbee, and I are the curators. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them …
Welcome to the April preview of 10 on the 10th! Doesn’t it seem like we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, and now Easter is over? I guess that’s just the nature of things, right? Last year, we talked about diamonds, and as much as I’d love to do that again, we won’t. I think it’s time …
Week 150! How is it in your part of the world? My creeping phlox are beginning to bloom. Somehow or other, I planted three different colors in the same place. Luckily, I like purple so it’s OK. The grass is getting so green. My bonus son mowed it for us this past weekend. Of course, …
A little history… Twenty-two years ago this year, my mom passed away. She’d been a smoker since the age of 15 or so. She quit a couple of times over the years, but that addiction is powerful. When she was 64, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and given a year to live. Prior to …
