1. smitten – to impress favorably; charm; enamor: “He was smitten by her charms”. I love this word! Just saying it puts that goofy love-struck smile on your face – try it.

But the new Dr is going to excise and biopsy him just to make sure. Today, he told me my chances of it being cancer were 0% and the chances of it being pre-cancer were 1%. Good news! Unfortunately, this followed a similar cycle to many of the events I’ve had in my life: getting [...]

It’s not as stereotypical as a Hallmark commercial, but sometime on election day or the day after, I am always overcome by tears. As I listened to the results today, the tears came. I felt [...]

I can’t stand it when grown men wear hats in professional situations. Like, in interviews (yes, I’m looking at you, Ron Howard….Steven Spielberg). I looked inside a library window the other day, and there was a man giving a lecture in a REI-style cowboy hat. How can anyone take you seriously when you’re wearing a [...]
As part of the ongoing saga that involves the state of My Health, I finally got the results from my sleep study today. First, I had the great experience of having myvitals taken by a nurse that kept yawning. She shuffled sleepily around the clinic, in search of the large blood pressure cuff. I made [...]
Yep, I’m jumping on the bandwagon. Hopefully this will help me over my blogger’s/writer’s block. Or maybe you’ll just hear a lot about my cats. Here’s the official stuff, thanks to fussy
