Through musicnotes.com, I can download sheet music to various songs I want to learn on the piano. Two I downloaded today were “I Believe in Love” and “Never Alone,” both by BarlowGirl. The first one has lyrics that didn’t originate with the band (I don’t think). I remember reading somewhere that a Jewish Holocaust survivor [...]

first day of work

First day back on the job, my seasonal job working at our small town’s bookstore. I love it. I could barely restrain my smiles at the thought of resuming employment there. I worked there last November and December, so fortunately the store’s system is coming back to me. I get to browse through books, smell [...]
I set the table. Didn’t I do a nice job?:
We are best friends.
Our family had its Thanksgiving dinner today, partly because of everyone’s schedules, and partly so that we wouldn’t be tempted to do something stupid like get up at 3:30 a.m. to be at Kohl’s by 4 when it opens.
This year, I’m thankful for:

I just finished a Novelty, Folk, and Line Dance class at college. Okay, so it’s a phys. ed. class, but it feels more sophisticated to say I “took dance” at college. Two years ago I took a Ballroom Dance (Latin/Salsa) class. I have this dancing bug in me now and it’s making me do crazy [...]

Yesterday I went to Robby’s house to watch the New Orleans Saints game with him. After the game was over, we headed back to campus in separate cars. Robby’s vehicle was in front of me, with maybe one or two cars between us. I was on the ramp to the bypass when I skidded on [...]
the origin of “wist”
Posted in friendship, writing on November 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s why my site is named wist.wordpress.com:
1. My best friend and I made up the word wist as a verb meaning to feel wistful. For example: I pine, I wist. It’s when you long for something. You wist.
2. The first blog I read regularly made me wist every time I read it. That blog–and that feeling–inspired me [...]

To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing which can happen to a woman, and I sincerely hope my girls may know this beautiful experience.

I was a cook for Halloween. Foreshadowing. Destiny.
Tonight I made dinner for four dashing young college men, my buddies. I browned some ground turkey and made Hamburger Helper’s Four-Cheese Lasagna. As a side dish, I whipped up instant cheesy potatoes. (I was big on the cheesy carbs, I guess. Gotta fatten these boys up.) For dessert, [...]

Was her hat coming off in this picture? Is that why they were laughing?
My mom is making a scrapbook for her mother’s 80th birthday. She went through some old black-and-white photos of her parents when they were newlyweds. The above three are all pictures of my maternal grandparents, my “Mom-Mom” and “Pop-Pop.” Look at this [...]
