Gone But Not Forgotten – I Love You Mom…
ByGenXBratFifteen years ago today I watched my mom take her last breath. I woke up this morning thinking about that day. It’s amazing how vivid the last 3 weeks of her life are to me, even after 15 years. I miss my mom…
There are so many things that I’ve wanted to say to her over the years, so many things I wanted her to see.
When I was a kid I thought she’d live forever. I’m not sure many people ever think about the mortality of their parents when they’re young. …
Kid Corner – Wiffle Ball Bat Incident Leaves Permanent Scar
ByGenXBratI have a small scar underneath my eyebrow on my right toward the my nose. I got it when I was around six or seven years old.
My neighbors on one side has two daughters and two sons. My neighbor on the other side had two boys, Kenny and Billy.
Joy and I spent a lot of time hanging out and playing with Kenny and Billy and occasionally we would get in a fight with them too. One day, I got really mad at Kenny (I don’t remember why) but I remember chasing him over to his house and, when I got there, I picked up one of those big fat wiffleball bats, backed him up against the wall of his house, and hit him across his chest with it.

Texting While Driving… Some People Should Just Say No
ByGenXBratYes. I’m aware that we’re told NO ONE should text and drive.
Well, I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, but naive has never been one of them!
There are ALWAYS going to be those who will continue, in spite of warnings, laws and scary videos… because they believe they’re safe, careful, or in an ok place to do so… And they can.
I’m Listening to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40!
ByGenXBratBelieve it I just finished listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 from the week ending September 10, 1983!
So cool! I remember what a big part of our life Casey Kasem was every week when I was a teenager. He had such a unique voice. Even if you didn’t know what radio station he was going to be on, all you had to do was flip through the stations until you heard that voice coming across the airwaves and you knew you were there.
40 of our favorite songs that we have listened to all week long… Patiently waiting to see which one was going to be number one! And always such a letdown when it was over because you felt like it was time for a friend to leave. …
My Henna Hair Dye Experiment – My Hair Isn’t Green!!
ByGenXBratI just finished step two of dying my hair using a 50/50 mix of pure henna and indigo (also known as henndigo).
If you read the first post I did covering step one, you know that my hair had turned a very pretty shade of orange (I never did understand why they called my brother a redhead… IT’S ORANGE!).
And you start the day by reaching for the soft soap instead of the toothpaste…
