If Tiger Woods Was a Woman by Rambling Raven

By • Feb 22nd, 2010 • Category: Rambling Raven

After Tiger’s little speech he was the talk of water coolers around company offices everywhere. He certainly was at my place of employment. And everyone had an opinion, of course. Many women said that if they were married to him they would give him another chance. There were some women who were totally against reconciliation with him, while the men tried to figure out how he allowed himself to get caught.



Musing and Venting by Rambling Raven

Now as for the use of the N word, that is inexcusable but I think that no matter who says it—black or white. Look there are way more important things to be pissed over than a second rate artist like John Mayer. I can’t even name one song of his.



Some Vices I am Not Willing To Part With by Rambling Raven

I am also not willing to give up my impulse buying of books. Yep, I am one of those people who can not pass by books without buying at least one, especially if it is on sell. I buy books at the grocery store, Walmart, Target, Amazon, teacher stores, Walgreens; you name it…



Our Kids Are Too Fat!! by Rambling Raven

I was an active kid. My friends and I often played for hours outdoors. We engaged ourselves in such activities as: Hide-n-Seek, Hopscotch, and Double-dutch (I couldn’t jump or turn but I tried my best every time), and Follow the Leader. We raced one another on foot or with our big wheels, skateboards and bikes.

The most poignant story to emerge from Facebook is that I recently found my best friend, Kerri from elementary school. For years we were inseparable. Yet, we stopped communicating in our teens.



Pray for Haiti by Rambling Raven

I watched stunned as images of distraught Haitians tried to pull family and friends from underneath the rubbish that the quake left behind. I watched with sadness as images of battered and dead Haitian bodies littered the streets of Porte-au-Prince, while thousands more were still trapped underneath the walls of buildings.



Snowed In by Rambling Raven

I normally dream of vacation days in Florida around this time of the year but Florida is battling its own frigid weather along with 99% of the country. The only state that has not had to deal with horribly cold weather is Hawaii.



One Goal Per Month by Rambling Raven

By • Jan 3rd, 2010 • Category: Rambling Raven

I was recently told by a wonderfully vibrant 65 year old that if you can do something for 30 days straight it will become a habit. The statement intrigued me so much that I am willing to give it a try. Could it really be that simple, if I stick to something for 30 days straight it will become nearly effortless, like second nature?

Enjoying My Winter Vacation by Rambling Raven I am in the last week of my Christmas vacation and I am going to enjoy every last minute of it, come hell or high water. I spent an entire week with my family for Christmas, and although I love them dearly, I am glad to be back [...]



Christmas Shopping Is For The Birds by Rambling Raven

I learned this past weekend that I don’t do well with crowds. Is it me or are people in general rude and ignorant? Wherever I went people were pushing…
