Conquering Fears And Making It Through

We all have fears or phobias. My son is afraid of heights. My sister is afraid of being trapped. According to google, there are many who have a phobia of holes. And I'm no exception. I have fears and things that just plain freak me out. And I have spent most of my life letting … Continue reading Conquering Fears And Making It Through

Seeing The World Differently With Contact Lenses

All my life, I have had a crippling eye phobia. Eye injuries, things touching my eyes or anyone else’s, close ups of eyes, the word “eyeballs…” All of these things completely freak me out.

Getting In Shape In Your 40’s

I’m Going To My First Comic Convention, The Book Review

Between her personal cosplays, her geeky blog, and her costume shop (to mention a few), she has kind of done it all. So, yeah, she wrote when she knows! Every caregiver … Continue reading I’m Going To My First Comic Convention, The Book Review

A Star Trek Experience That Is Worth The Drive

Lizzie and I did a thing last weekend! We went to Kingsland, Georgia for Fan Days at Neutral Zone Studios. What is Neutral Zone Studios? It's like a big tv set that will make you feel like you are on the Enterprise. Once a month, they open their doors to the public. (The next one … Continue reading A Star Trek Experience That Is Worth The Drive

A Geeky House Makeover

Brian is a man who needs a hobby. When he comes home from work after a day of dealing with customers who are often less than polite, he wants to be mentally stimulated. I guess he needs to know that he is something besides Brian the store manager. Now me, after a day of momming and … Continue reading A Geeky House Makeover
