About me

Gender Female
Occupation Medical Transcriptionist
Location Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
Introduction I am a contentedly occupied single mother of 4 children; Chelsea, Ethan, Aubrey and Gabriel, and reside on the eastern side of Indianapolis, IN. There I work from home as a medical transcriptionist, a field I have enjoyed for the past 15 years. I am fiercely addicted to coffee, chocolate, rhythm & blues and any works written by the magnificent Miss Jane Austen. My love of scrapbooking and journaling led me to the natural progression of creating this blog, which you are about to navigate through. Please feel free to leave a comment regarding my posts or any original thoughts as well. I appreciate your visit. Peace to you.

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

Good one! Nope, quite the opposite. If I hesitate before hitting the Snooze button v.s. turning the alarm off and getting out of bed, it's because I'm trying to justify 10 more minutes of sleep v.s. being 10 minutes behind schedule!
