I went somewhere last night that I have been 100 or more times before. I saw people I have known for years and people I’ve only seen a few times before. There were also people I’ve never seen and a few I didn’t want to see again. I was my type of [...]
Several months ago I awoke from a very sound sleep feeling a little odd. I had a feeling of intense pleasure accompanied by the floating tingly feeling that usually follows exclamations of “Ohh Yeees” and precedes reattaching the headboard to the bed. I sat up startled and looked around. My husband was soundly asleep and [...]
I’m going to keep this post short and sweet. Kinda like me if you believe what they say. I know I’m supposed to reflect on the past year, make resolutions for the new one, and eat black-eyed pea and cabbage, but I don’t do that. Except the peas and cabbage part. [...]
“I told her she needed to accept Jesus Christ as her lord and savior!” She shouted at me.
I sat back hard in my seat stunned by the anger in her voice. Without thinking about what I was doing I leaned in the direction that was opposite her. I couldn’t make myself look in [...]
I don’t like going through my possessions. It’s like a slow steady torture. Gathering and sorting, each item evaluated for worth and placed in a pile.

That’s a few of the sentences that have been in my head for a few [...]
You understood the blues. Surely you understood the anger that could possess a young woman’s soul. The angry passion that my heart desired was not how you chose to love me.
He understood that anger. He nurtured it and controlled it. He made beautiful designs of flesh and desire that you did not. You were [...]
All I remember is they were building a fence. A horse fence. Not a cow fence. Horse fences are made from wood and cow fences are made from barbed wire. This one was for horses and only the bottom board was in place.
It wasn’t that high off the ground, but it seemed high to me. [...]
Mom, remember that time you found the coupon that said $2.00 off your next pregnancy test? I told you it came in my box of tampons. It didn’t. It came in the test we bought for K. I say we because I decided the best way to keep the pharmacist from calling her mom was [...]
