Like a Virgin

CherrieJW | September 30, 2009

When I was growing up, the worse thing that you could tell anyone was that your virginity was in tact. You were looked at as a nerd, a geek, unobstainable, unwanted. There had to be something wrong with you that no one wanted to get into your undies. Fast forward 20 years and boy have [...]

The One I Miss

CherrieJW | September 29, 2009

Thought I heard your voice yesterday. Then I turned around to say that I realize that it was just my mind playing tricks on me. My mother.  What could I possibly say that could explain the pain that has been constant for 6 years? I miss her so much. She was amd still even after [...]

Let's Fix Insurance

Cherrie | September 28, 2009

The best thing about going through the mania side of bipolar is often the ability to complete multiple tasks at seemingly ungodly precision. Of course that is also one of the worst things about being bipolar. We hardly ever know when to stop. Medical intervention is often not only necessary, but required. Of course it [...]

If I Miss You

CherrieJW | September 23, 2009

I used to have a t-shirt that I wore when I went to the park. I’m thinking of ressurecting it.  “If I promise to miss you, will you go away?”   Each time I see or hear of the ex-governor and one of her opinions, I just want to tell her to go swimming in the [...]

Gratitude

CherrieJW | September 22, 2009

I have new neighbors whose English is almost as bad as my Spanish. Unfortunately, neither of us is fluent in either language. Often we have to have my Moroccan son in law translate for us. He speaks both languages quite well. Still, when we sit on the porch wanting a cup of tea while we [...]

In My Lifetime

CherrieJW | September 21, 2009

At 47, I  never expected to witness some of the most extraordinary events that have occured.  I never expected to be a grandmother, to see my children grow up to be the fantastic adults that they have become.  I didn’t expect to see any black person as president or woman so close to being our [...]

Not a Best Buy

CherrieJW | September 8, 2009

Best Buy, the electronic mogul, has grated on my system once again.  Since when has a store chain become too large to be aware of customer service? When did someone with a few bucks (in this economy) lose their status? And to make it worse, there is no way to get past their people to [...]
