They never really leave us
A few minutes ago, I was changing into my pajamas. I thought I heard my mom talking upstairs, so I stopped and listened. I didn’t hear anything and continued with what I was doing – changing my clothes, hanging up the laundry I’d just taken out of the dryer. Typical things. A quick trip upstairs…

While others have failed, Andi Marquette turned me on
Okay, okay…before you let your mind go too far into the gutter, let me be clear. It’s Andi’s brain that captured my attention here. Technically, I’ve never met the woman. 🙂 Let me ‘splain. I did a bang up job of staying away from the Twilight craze. Actually, it wasn’t that difficult. I mean,…

I will be cursing because of the blessings of technology
So we’re going to have some changes to the cable. It turns out that by having faster internet speeds, HD cable, a DVR, and 2 fewer channels than we have now, Mom and I can save almost $100 on our bill. Wait…what? Yeah. We lose 2 channels that we never really watched anyway and gain…

A rare night out…thanks to Anne Laughlin
I had the opportunity to go out tonight after work. It was funny. A few weeks ago, I actually asked my mother permission to go out. I felt like I was 16 again. Mom, of course, told me to go. Actually, what she said was, “Carleen, you need a life. Go. I’ll be fine.” Kinda…

If Julie Andrews is singing on a mountain top, all is right with the world.
I got this in the mail today. I ordered it yesterday. And I got it today. Yay! Perhaps I’m the last to get on the bandwagon – which, by the way, is another great musical starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse – but at least I’m here now. This was the Deal of the Day on…

Rita Hayworth – still relevant (at least for cool video editing)
I don’t really have anything to say tonight…I just wanted to share a couple of videos that I think are just amazing. There are folks in this world who have a LOT of time on their hands…and a whole hell of a lot of talent. And I’m glad they do! Check out these awesome…

“All I have to say is ‘Season 14 rocks’!” – Dancing With The Stars hits one out of the ball park in the season premiere!
Wowsers! Carrie Ann sure said a mouthful. This was, without a doubt, the best season opener for Dancing With the Stars that I have ever, ever seen! It was an absolutely amazing night of dancing! Tonight we had the opportunity to meet the new dancers. The first night is always a little tricky. We’re establishing our…

Golden Crown Literary Society – the conference is almost here. Are you ready?
We are counting down! Yes, the time has come to make preparations for the annual conference of the Golden Crown Literary Society – a literary and educational organization for the enjoyment, discussion, and enhancement of lesbian literature (from the mission statement). This year, the conference is going to be held in Minneapolis, MN from June…

Caution: Under Construction (OR Re-imaging and Re-naming: The process continues)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, my friends. I was having some fun this evening with themes for the blog. Not to write about. But actual themes provided by WordPress for blogs. I chose a new one. It’s simpler. Sleeker. Hopefully, less cluttered. I’m still working on a new name for the blog. So far, I have…

Friday’s Truths – Sometimes, they just need to be acknowledged
We’ve come to the end of another work week. Yay for the weekend! I look back at my day and ask, “What did I learn today? What are the truths that came out of everything?” Well, here is my list for Friday, March 16, 2012. If the numbers look out of whack – and people…
