I don’t know how I’ve become such a sap. I cried the other day when my mom and I went to see P.S. I Love You. I cried watching the Kennedy Center Honors on Wednesday night, especially when piano virtuoso and famed teacher Leon Fleisher received his tribute. And I have been [...]

11:11 p.m.
I woke up at around 11:00 a.m. this morning – which seems so late! In any case, when I made my way downstairs, I was horrified to learn of the assassination of Behazir Bhutto, the female former Prime Minister of Pakistan, after being shot in her neck and chest. She had served [...]

My mom woke me up just before nine to say good-bye to my sister, who was up to get an early start back to Chattanooga. I literally dragged myself out of bed, put on a sweater, and met her at the bottom of the stairs with a hug that soon brought on [...]

11:48 p.m.
There’s always something nostalgic, exciting and even sad (yes, sad!) for me over the holidays. Mostly, it’s the past that makes Christmas sometimes melancholic. Part of my problem is I’m a traditionalist. I miss the way things were. I know that families are supposed to grow, and that is fine, but I [...]

I had been aching for exercise. It seems like it’s been weeks since I’ve had any kind of workout, even if it’s only been days. I woke up late again, just after ten, a sure sign that I wasn’t adjusted to the time change yet, and I ate a plain bagel.
Dad and [...]

Today was a pretty lazy day. I woke up at 10:05 a.m. Dad had made gluten-free Belgian waffles and sausage. I watched old holiday movies with my mom, including White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. We had pizza for dinner. Dad made a delicious gluten-free pie, the best pizza I’ve [...]

11:45 p.m.
This morning I ate my first bagel since being diagnosed with Celiac disease. Of course, it was a gluten-free bagel, but it wasn’t bad. After breakfast, I showered and got dressed and my sister and her husband finally arrived. But, I was on my way out the door.
My college friends were meeting, [...]

I got up at 4:00 a.m. and showered, dressed, fed the kitties with three days worth of food and made my way out to the airport by 5:00 a.m. Traffic was light, I drove right to the rental car return, handed Enterprise the keys, received a receipt and headed toward the elevators, checked [...]

Today was my last day at work for awhile. I hurriedly got done everything I needed to do to prepare for the New Year, along with establishing due dates to complete major projects. I left work at 5:00 p.m. sharp.
At home I made homemade vegetable soup in chicken broth. It looked glorious. [...]

The hustle and bustle of the season was still not over. Even though this was a short work week for me, I had a lot of things to do. And tonight was my last party to go to for the holidays. Only, I had a list of things to do between work [...]
