With feelings like anger, there are times when letting go is the better of the available options. Whether we do it is something else. I have been known, on the very odd occasion, to hold onto anger, but letting go is something I have become better at. It’s something I have had to get better at. Read all about it →

I have a full-time job, I pursue my own writing projects, and I make some quilts. Nonetheless, I kill a lot of time.
I rarely cook. I don’t exercise regularly. I don’t have much of a social life, unless you count the Internet, which I sort of do. The house is usually a mess. Sometimes I lose several hours on a Saturday researching some topic about which I do not need to know. Read all about it →

In my last article, I discussed the concept of saudade and how it applies to TCKs (third culture kids). In this article, I’m going to discuss the chameleon effect and the ways that it plays out in our lives. The chameleon effect is a simpler concept to describe than saudade as it is merely a term for blending in, much like the lizard of the same name. Read all about it →

The 1980s and ’90s were chock full of family sitcoms, from Full House to Family Matters. Each and every show had at least one “Very Special Episode,” and I lived for them. Read all about it →

So it appears in my last post that I was wrong. I said that I did not expect to pass the Fresh Meat course as I was having trouble getting the basics down. I’ve discussed over the last few weeks how I’ve struggled with crossovers and said that the requirement to do 17 laps in five minutes is one of the hardest physical challenges I have ever done. Well, I somehow did them all to a required level and passed Fresh Meat! Read all about it →

I had always filed acupuncture under, “Seems like something that’s beneficial, but really don’t see the need for it in my life.” Before coming to Asia, I frankly had little to no experience with Eastern medicine and I was relatively healthy with no real issues so I never felt the need to explore those avenues.

GERMANY – (BBC) Chancellor Angela Merkel has admitted her Christian Democrat (CDU) party suffered a “bitter, painful” defeat in Germany’s largest state election. However, she said the result in North Rhine-Westphalia would have no impact on her policy of Europe’s debt crisis. The election saw the governing Social Democrats increase their share of the vote,
while support for Mrs. Merkel’s CDU fell to its lowest post-war level.

As I write this, it is the morning of Mother’s Day. My husband and daughter are asleep, and I am alone with my thoughts, maybe for the first time since Sofia was born two years ago. I should be basking in my untethered time, and, in fact, I’m going to go brew a pot of coffee to make the moment last. But I can’t stop thinking about Mother’s Day. Read all about it →

You know what’s more confusing than actors who bear a physical resemblance? Actors who have that going for them AND extremely similar names. Today, I’m sorting Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman at Selena’s request, but as I started skimming IMDB, I’m not entirely sure I knew they were two separate people. Read all about it →

What I Watched Last Night: Fright Night
May 16, 2012 at 8:30 pm in Movies
Fright Night: The 2011 remake of the 1985 original, now made better (by my eyes) with bonus Colin Farrell and David Tennant eye candy. It’s a horror film, but a funny one, regarding one teenager’s quest to defeat the vampire next door. Here are some things I said to my husband while we watched:
