Good Story?

What is it that makes a good story? The tale or the teller? What about the good stories that should have never been? Someone close to me told me a few weeks ago that I had a good story. I’ve been pondering what that means ever since. What is it about my story that makes … Continue reading →

Chicken and Waffles

I made a trip downtown Atlanta (Midtown) today for lunch with friends. Any other day, place or companions and it would have been just another fabulously fun girls lunch. Girls lunches are great. Afternoons (or late mornings in my case) that you look forward to with girly excitement; you’re finally taking time for yourself and … Continue reading →

Jumping Back In

This first sentence is a challenge. Not sure why. Like a conversation between old friends who sit awkwardly realizing they no longer have anything in common, I too am not sure what to say. With a lot in my head, but not sure where it all falls into context. I’ve been harassed recently by friends … Continue reading →

Gratitude

It is that time of year again. The leaves have all fallen, the Turkey has been eaten (or in our case, the beef tenderloin – we roll differently in our crib), the Christmas tree is up and the house sort of decorated and Santa is in the boys hearts and minds. Now it is my … Continue reading →

Nitty Gritty Background

In late 2005 it was yet another glass that had fallen out of my hands landing shattered on the kitchen counter that got me thinking. It wasn’t the first glass, plate or thing to fall out of my hands, it wasn’t the first time I’d felt like I didn’t have the best fine motor skills. I … Continue reading →

A Friend Recently Asked Me Why I Write…

Such a simple question with such a multifaceted answer. Truth be told, I like to write, always have, I was a History major. But that’s the easy out answer. The writing began in private after being diagnosed in 2007 to get my thoughts and emotions out; brief tid bits here and there, some of which … Continue reading →

Big Day

Rather than bitching about getting old and bemoaning how the number seems to increase exponentially every year, I choose to celebrate being 34 today. Yes, today is my birthday and I look forward to 35 and every year after that. Bring it on 40… how great will that be! So I’m happy to celebrate getting … Continue reading →

Back into the Ring…

Everyone needs a time out… not just my kids. Thank you for all your thoughtful, insightful and uplifting emails and notes since my last posting. I am stepping back into the ring and back in the fight. So let’s spend some time updating on the goings on in the Giliberto house… other than the obvious; … Continue reading →

Reality Check

I am losing my patience for how long my recovery is taking. Making great strides and doing well considering the whole experience. Progress is clear and I do see the light at the end of the road since I am getting rather fiesty, but so frustrated when I hit the wall in the afternoon and … Continue reading →

Headaches and Crows

Did not sleep too well last night, and woke with a huge headache. Seems like when the weather is overcast or any sign of rain, it will be a doom and gloom day for my poor little head. Have the windows open since it is pretty breazy outside and not hot… miracles do happen finally … Continue reading →

Commentary…

Just a quick observation about people… is there a reason why women need to stare so blatantly at me? The men are easy… they look right past, probably grateful that their wife, girlfriend, etc looks a whole lot hotter than me. Trust me, I really don’t care if you think I look like a train … Continue reading →

Ramblings of a Recovering Mom…

I must start by saying that I really have no complaints… we have been blessed with outstanding deliveries of home cooked meals, support and love from family and friends and of course a shared sense of humor between myself and the masses! There has been a curiosity as to what I have been up to, … Continue reading →
