So how about those taxes? Am I right or am I right, boy do they suck! I’d much rather be holding my breath to see whether the Russia Olympic Committee figure skater will land a triple toe loop than watch anxiously as the ticker of the Federal Tax amount due rises. So to make myselfContinue reading “Seed Massacre”

Round Here
“Self-discovery through reading is often revelatory and freeing, but not always pleasant. It makes us look within, and that is sometimes painful.” This is from “The Power of Habit,” the book I started reading yesterday. Being human is complicated. I can interpret the events in my life through totally different lenses; sometimes, I see myselfContinue reading “Round Here”
Small Town
In no particular order, the town I grew up in is a cross between Cheers, Friends, and Schitt’s Creek. And for those reasons I both loved and hated it. I didn’t like the screwed-up game of telephone; where everyone seemed to know a bit of information about everybody, but it mainly was distorted and missingContinue reading “Small Town”
Work It
My attitude tonight reminds me of a newcomer in Alcoholics Anonymous. “Hi, I’m Jaclynn, and I’m a writer. I wish I could stop, but I can’t. There are paper and pens and blank documents everywhere. There’s no escaping it. And the worst of all is my mind; it came up with five hundred ideas todayContinue reading “Work It”
Making The Grade
Archie, my dog, is stoically looking out over our property. The outer edges of his nose are flapping, sniffing in scents and his ears are perking up to attention like mini-satellites. That he’s able to tune in to the more subtle aspects of life I can’t help but think if he is the wild. NextContinue reading “Making The Grade”
Feelin’ Groovy
“Slow down, you move too fastYou got to make the morning lastJust kicking down the cobblestonesLooking for fun and feeling groovy.” How to slow down? Now, this is a struggle of mine. When I’m going a million miles an hour, I know the quality of what I’m doing goes down. I imagine it’s like drivingContinue reading “Feelin’ Groovy”
Unbreak My Heart
Think of something you don’t want to do. Now think of something you enjoy doing. In order to do the thing you don’t want to do, take away the thing you enjoy doing. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me! The thorn in my side – uploading that podcastContinue reading “Unbreak My Heart”
Lovely Day
My mind’s like a shaken-up snowglobe; thoughts move chaotically in all directions. Even Dave’s comment just now, “Wrestling is on the sci-fi network,” didn’t get much of a reaction out of me. Something’s up. I think it’s because I’m in a more insecure place than usual. I notice I’m worrying about people’s perceptions of meContinue reading “Lovely Day”
Curl-A-Whirl
Did you catch the thrilling action between Norway and Sweden on the icy curling mccurling court? No, well, shame on you! The intensity of the sweeps and the focused throw of stones was unlike anything that’s come before. Although Sweden was behind, and Norway had the hammer, can you believe it, Sweden prevailed?! But still,Continue reading “Curl-A-Whirl”
Faily Fool
As promised, I’ll tell you the inspiration for yesterday’s blog, “Gumping for Goy.” So while swapping charming toddlers’ stories between myself, Dave, and our friend Jeff – Jeff mentioned how his four-year-old nephew can’t pronounce J’s and that instead they’re G’s; so as you may have guessed this means Uncle Jeff is Uncle Geff. IContinue reading “Faily Fool”
