Thursday Three… Three weird things about me: It takes me quite awhile to get comfortable enough to go to sleep. No wrinkles in the sheets, no hair in my face, pillow just right, etc. On the other hand, David just climbs in bed, shuts his eyes and starts snoring. I carry Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning…
Forever Young
I’m not sure what it means if your life philosophy comes from a Bob Dylan song but one could do worse than this: Forever Young by Bob Dylan May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you…
One resolution accomplished!… One of my goals for this year was to add at least 200 songs to my iPod. I am proud to report that I have met this goal. When I set the goal I had 938 songs and now I have 1155. It helps to have a son with an amazing music…
Thursday Three… Three television series I wish were still on: The Donna Reed Show Thirty Something The O.C. (okay, technically it still is on but there are only a few episodes left — boo hoo!) I started to write a bunch of stuff about these shows and how they each reflect a little something about…
Um, er…Mom?… Chris and David have been taking care of the outdoor animal chores during this freaky, icy weather we have going on so that I won’t slip and re-injure my back. On Wednesday Chris had gone out to feed the chickens and pretty soon the phone rings. “Mom?” “Oh, Chris. Whatcha doing?” “Um, I’m…
Thursday Three… Three reasons I need electricity: heat (a fireplace in a room with a vaulted ceiling doesn’t cut it) computer (obviously) carpet that needs to be vacuumed…desperately! We had another power outage today. Five hours long. My husband came home and started the generator which allows limited usage of a few electrical items. Like…
The Decluttering Bug
The decluttering bug has bitten… I expected it. It happens every year around this time. The Christmas decorations which looked so cozy and cheerful just a couple of weeks ago are beginning to make me feel claustrophobic. It is time to put them all away and begin a thorough cleaning. It always makes more sense…
Ice, ice, baby… one generator – $699.00 value of David’s time to purchase, build and install said generator – $150.00 having the power come back on one minute later – priceless We lost power at 8 a.m. this morning. The fireplace kept the house above 60 degrees although it was sure to continue to drop….
Thursday Three… Three reasons I’d like to be a writer: Writing on a laptop in a coffee shop is a cool way to spend an afternoon. “I’m a writer” sounds ever so much better than “I don’t work” as a reply to that annoying question, “And what do you do?”. If I write and sell…
