My journey of life while dying with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer
Friday Night Lights What do you do on a Friday night when you're our age and NOT going to Menards? (I sound sooo old at 48!) You get the best perch plate and tator tots from Krazy Cow, get together your menu for the next two weeks, order your groceries online to pick up on …

A friend of mine told me the other day "you haven't blogged in a while, I love reading your blogs!" The look on her face was one of loving chastisement, essentially showing me that, I guess I had been too busy with other things to do what I do best - bore you all with …
I'm Angry. Not the red-faced, steam coming from my ears, mushroom cloud over my head, angry. Just a calm realization of anger. Education I'm angry at all those people that told me I had to get a degree to go anywhere or do anything with my life. I didn't know what I wanted to …
Introducing our Guest Blogger I met Jannie (Boulanger) Hanna and her mom, Cindy, while I worked as the Human Resources Representative at N.E.W. Plastics Corp. in Luxemburg, Wisconsin from 2013 to 2015. Jannie graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in December 2018, her major being Elementary Education and Human Development, and a minor in ESL …
Educating Others I've always loved teaching. It started when I was little. I would create math worksheets and spelling/English/reading worksheets for myself, and then I would correct them.

Or I will fall asleep while scrolling through Facebook. I have learned to never text while I am falling asleep! I sleep at night. Sometimes. …
Financial Troubles I believe that everyone, at some point in their lifetime, have had financial troubles. Unless, of course, you are part of a husband and wife dual-income household, with at most two or no children, and receive ten thousand dollar checks from your parents for Christmas every year. Or even one year. For the …
I always think of things, all kinds of things, as I'm lying in bed just before I fall asleep. Our nighttime routine consists of watching TV for a little while, typically a recorded episode of "The Dead Files", while we both play Solitaire 2048. I shouldn't have introduced Solitaire 2048 to the hubs. He'll be …
Taking you back to a prior post, I mentioned that I am not a political person. I don’t discuss politics. I have told friends that I don’t discuss politics. I also don’t discuss religion. Yes, I agreed to do a political commercial for the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. Recording a commercial is fun, I …
Two weeks ago, I recorded part of a documentary about clean water with Karen Erbach of Schiller Street Media. Karen and her partner, Patrick, both complimented me several times, and told me I should be doing a video blog (a "vlog") within my blog, because I have a "presence". I hate looking at myself in …
