The Monday List – How I Know its Spring
1. The scent of a thunderstorm at dusk last night.
2. A carpet of daffodils lining lucky sections of earth along the interstate.
3. Bradford pear trees everywhere, exploding with snowy blossoms.

The Monday List
I don’t want this blog to become an infertility blog, but then infertility is part of who I am now and so it spills out here from time to time. Its a disease most people don’t know a lot about and I would be included in “most people” if it hadn’t happened to [...]

People who walk slowly down the middle of the (grocery store aisle, parking lot aisle, church aisle, road, hallway, etc), sometimes even when they know you are behind them. Because nobody matters but you, buddy.

I’m here. I’m posting. Even though I can’t breathe through my nose, my brain is very fuzzy, and my head feels like it weighs 100o pounds. I wanted to fulfil my 2 posts a day for a week commitment and finalize the new theme schedule. Doug from This Salesman’s Life made some very good suggestions for my schedule in [...]
