Compliments & Kindness

I thought about this incident last night before I fell asleep. On a recent cruise, a younger woman we met (maybe in her 40s) said this to me after meeting Stu and I and chatting a while. "I don't mean to be mean, but I thought you were his mother." Um, really?

Crosswords & Jigsaws

Growing up, I always envied my mother's skill at crossword puzzles. We got a daily newspaper from Boston (probably the Globe) and she did it every day. She also had the small paperbacks of crosswords and I soon started working them as well. I was a voracious reader by age ten and did pretty well at adult crosswords by age twelve. I haven't done many in the past years and I miss it.

Compulsions, Perfectionism, Procrastination & Control

I tend to be somewhat compulsive in certain areas. Am I OCD or just trying to keep control? Perfectionism is a sign of needing to control things. I used to have two recurring nightmares. In one, I would go completely blind unexpectedly.

Ramblings, Musings, Thoughts, & Miscellanea

Now that my 100 Day Wool& Challenge is done, this blog is returning to its original purpose - my ramblings, thoughts, musings, and other miscellanea.

I deleted a bunch of old posts when I changed the purpose of the blog temporarily and I changed  favicon and the theme layout as well. So now it's time to change it all back to something that works with for this purpose.

Let me know what you think!
