Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
It’s Thursday. That means I’m in work-mode. Getting ready for work, for me, is more like the way that Jennifer Lopez might prepare versus how Jane Doe blue collar might do so. I dress like I’m going to the Saturday dance and when I’m there, I am there to put on a show (especially on slow nights…which are, thankfully, rare). Because I am a small town girl who never had the connections to make it to the big time...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
You would not believe what I have been going through the last few weeks…well, maybe you could. It’s just that I have been so bogged down with a massive to-do list that would not go away, it seemed like it was out to get me, making it difficult to prioritize anything or kill the tasks in front me. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed. But, I did it. I stomped the beast…finally! Sure, I have plenty of things ahead of...

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
There is so much going on in the world, today, it’s getting hard to keep up. That’s why I had to go out and upgrade my coffee mugs. I need more of my morning cuppa to keep me from nodding off while reading the tons of news stories and blog posts that come my way on a daily basis. Sadly, there is not a concoction, legal or otherwise, that keeps my head from exploding whenever I read about the...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Rise and shine, sleepy-heads! I realize that it’s President’s Day and a federal holiday. (Enjoy it. The next one isn’t until Memorial Day, in May). Many of you are enjoying the last of a four-day weekend. Sadly, there are no holidays for Mommies. But, on the upside, since the bank and post office are closed, I have a legitimate excuse for not getting my errands done, today. Today is supposed to be a day to honor the presidency. But,...

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Just gonna keep it simple, today. That seems like something that is missing from my life right now: simplicity. Of course, that’s not going to change any time in the very near future, so long as SSG Dizzy is still doing the Iraq Deployment Shuffle. Thankfully, I have music to keep me connected to my spiritual self. And, after two nights of listening to hard rock and hip-hop, it’s nice to settle down, the rest of the week, with...
