New year, new beginnings. That’s what I have in store for 2009. So I figured since I already knew there were big changes in store for me with the temporary living arrangement in Virginia and the upcoming permanent move to North Carolina that I might as well throw caution to the wind and add the… Continue Reading
Merry, Merry Holidays
Today is the first day since I arrived in Maine for the holidays that it hasn’t snowed. Honestly. No fears of not having a white Christmas here folks. I flew in last Thursday and from Friday on it snowed in some fashion. It really put a cramp in my shopping style. Finally today the sun… Continue Reading
The Voices in my Head
It’s been an interesting week. A part of me wants to stop right there. Can you imagine, if that one sentence was my entire post? But honestly, there is a part of me, a soft little voice inside that says, ” To say more could ruin it.” “Ruin what?” another voice asks. Yeah, yeah, don’t… Continue Reading
Bah Humbug?!
If it’s the most wonderful time of the year, why does everyone seem so crabby? Let’s face it, once upon a time the Christmas season (yes, I said C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, get over it) caused smiles, laughter and goodwill. So why all the frowns, hustling and bustling and general grouchiness? Heck, some of the people I’ve come… Continue Reading
Vampires…real and imagined.
I admit it, I’ve gotten hooked on Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series of books. What can I say, ever since Angel stole my heart on Buffy I’ve had a soft spot for ‘good’ vampires torn between love and blood lust. This series is no exception. Sure, it may have been originally written for teenagers, but Harry… Continue Reading
Mama Bear Syndrome
Normally the last thing I would want to compare myself to is a bear. Bears are not particularly sexy or sassy. They lack fashion sense and have never agonized over whether the black shoes look ok with the dark blue dress pants. But mark today in the girly girl history books folks, because today, November… Continue Reading
Princess Girly Girl. com…More Moving
I’m sure you noticed that when you clicked on your link for my blog today you were redirected. That’s right, since the Princess is physically moving, it seemed only right that it was time for some changes to the blog as well. In fact, I felt it was time to purchase the domain name princessgirlygirl.com… Continue Reading
Live! from Virginia
Yes, the princess is getting somewhat settled into a routine in her new southern location. I arrived on schedule Nov. 2nd and as planned spent this past weekend with my son at ECU. I knew I had missed him, but don’t think I realized just how much until I saw him. It made it much… Continue Reading
A New Chapter Begins
It was pitch black when I gingerly made my way down the stairs from my daughter’s apartment this morning. I had spent the past two nights at her house after vacating my apartment in preparation for my temporary move to Virginia. I felt a bit odd leaving her and my familiar life in Maine behind. Before… Continue Reading
A weekend of goodbyes
It’s my last weekend here in southern Maine and as such, my daughter and my friends made sure that it would be a weekend of fun, not melancholy. It began Friday night with going to see our favorite local band, Highway Jackson. The guys were rockin’, as usual and dedicated several songs to me, one… Continue Reading
