There are a bunch of posts begging to be written. The ones about our panel, our time in NYC, what it was like with the chicks I adore most. Aiming Low chicks, if you were confused. But today I had to do something that took a pretty big step. And it seems kind of stupid. [...]

i did what i never do but had to do today
This is where I’m supposed to tell you thing that might be sad. This is also the place where I can brag when my body decides to do something new. Sometimes this is where I get to share something funny. Today this place gets a new purpose. It’s where I plot someone’s painful and untimely [...]
i should have stuck with “Pride and Prejudice”
During those first months home I tried to read Pete’s posts about our time in the many hospitals. I read and read and then I came to the point where I read like any other stranger would. I got to the days I don’t have any memory and coma was more than a bad joke. [...]

Everything had been planned the best that it could, toppings and drinks, pans and movies. We didn’t plan that Pete would have to work. [...]
my better half…or my better 4/7…anyway, i was promised no math on this test

i’m having a party. the pity variety that comes with choice of whine
“Can I?” A phrase the people that know me best are sick of hearing. They tell me not to ask for permission, they’re not used to it. Just a few month ago I had a whole different existence. I didn’t have choices to make. I was lucky to be alive and they let me know [...]
things that stink about having a stroke, really REALLY stink
Back before I had the stroke, I was a very busy blogger. I always had someone to meet, a company to rep, a product to try. Dude, I was busy. I also wrote my blog that I loved, I wrote the blog that I dreamed about (and it came true), and these were just a [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
