A Nurse Assaulted

September 4, 2017 by Karen, posted in Being BRAVE, Catching women being brave, Someone's gotta say it

Maybe you've seen this video by now. The one where Alex Wubbles, a nurse at University Hospital in Salt Lake City, is assaulted and arrested by a police officer while she is at work, doing her job, protecting her patient. Thank God that there is a video account of this so that everyone is free … Continue reading A Nurse Assaulted

My slip is showing

April 17, 2016April 17, 2016 by Karen, posted in books, no fear, quest for the best, Someone's gotta say it, writing

I have recently become aware of some minor formatting issues with my book, which I will be addressing in the next printing. 😀 Wasn't that mature of me? An amazingly calm reaction, since my inner critic and inner perfectionist are usually hard at work full-time, preventing me from letting anyone see my fiction writing, never … Continue reading My slip is showing

TWC is the Devil

April 22, 2015April 22, 2015 by Karen, posted in Someone's gotta say it

I hate TWC. I am making the equivalent of a car payment to them every month for my "Triple Play" bundle, and you know what I am getting for all that money? Crappy equipment that malfunctions every day and is practically disposable. I am driving to the TWC office at least bimonthly to swap out … Continue reading TWC is the Devil

Great audiobook

March 11, 2012 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, books, family, friends, Marriage, Midlife Crisis, relationships, Someone's gotta say it

I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. Lisa Scottoline,whom I'd never heard of, spoke right to me and many of my issues. Even though she's twice divorced (nope, not me), she lives with 5 dogs (nope, I live with 3 humans...and chickens!) has 1 child (I have 2), has seen 50 come … Continue reading Great audiobook

Have it your way

February 16, 2012 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, Marriage, quest for the best, Someone's gotta say it

I was recently reminded that going to the gym on an empty stomach is (for me) never a good idea. In a subconscious effort to undo any potential good my time at the gym may have afforded me, I headed over to Burger King for the special. Two Breakfast Sandwiches for $3 This is a … Continue reading Have it your way

Wicked good? Not!

January 17, 2012January 17, 2012 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, family, health, local fun, no fear, restaurants, Someone's gotta say it, tweens

I recently visited a popular restaurant in Wells, one that I go to frequently. Usually I go with my husband but this time I was with my daughter. We went there on Saturday. My twelve-year-old picked the restaurant and was excited to be going out for lunch with her mom. My preference is always to … Continue reading Wicked good? Not!

Critters in the Attic Update

October 19, 2011 by Karen, posted in family, friends, no fear, Someone's gotta say it

Critter free, day three. I'm feeling hopeful and confident enough to say what we did to have driven them away for good. Well, there was some activity in my bathroom ceiling above the shower. I turned on the exhaust fan and left it running around the clock for a couple of days (okay, all week) and I didn't … Continue reading Critters in the Attic Update

Heavy sigh

October 2, 2011October 4, 2011 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, fitness, health, Someone's gotta say it

I watched a Dr. Oz episode that I taped last week, just for something mindless to do for an hour. I usually tape them every week, read what the topic is, then delete them without watching them. This time there was one I wanted to watch...something about losing weight and maybe becoming a millionaire...great! Sign … Continue reading Heavy sigh

What do (married) men want?

August 26, 2011 by Karen, posted in Date night, Midlife Crisis, no fear, relationships, Someone's gotta say it

I don't know about you, but when I go to the beach, I am most comfortable when almost every inch of me is covered from my chest to oh, say about mid-thigh. Let's just say that I am a big fan of those skirted bathing suits, which my husband refers to as 'mommy-suits' (or in … Continue reading What do (married) men want?
