Stormy Weather

Addie ran inside at 6:45 this morning “Mom ya’ gotta come see this!  It is SO cool!  And you need to make a blog about it!”  I followed her outside and witnessed an absolutely ominous sky to the north….. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a good storm and this one promised to…

Art. Or something like it.

Creativity arrives in many forms throughout life.  So does appreciation for art. Guess what this piece of art is.  Come on now, be creative! Addie made this for me and at first glance I thought it was some sort of medieval weapon.  Or maybe a torture device. Upon further inspection I decided it was a…

Stressed vs Relaxed

Whilst prancing in and out of the house over the course of an afternoon I noticed, on the 28th trip inside, that Agent had not moved in approximately 6 hours, 33 minutes and 5 seconds.  I considered thumping him gently to make sure there was still life present but upon closer inspection I saw he…

Toad

If I had any ambitions leaning in the direction of toad farmer, this would have been my year.  There has been a bumper crop of toads this year.  I can hardly go out after dark for fear of squishing one, they appear like little hopping rocks all around the back porch, barn and kitchen.  Addie…

Making Time

In a former life that I was living about 3 years ago I found myself almost 50 pounds overweight.  My dress size was well in the double digits.  I had back boobs.  Not cool.  I was able, thru dieting, to shed the weight.  It took eight months.  As soon as I dropped back into a…

I got nothing

As you all know my laptop died an untimely death and now I am on an older, larger laptop and we are not yet friends.  After a few days of quality time I expect us to be quite close.  But until then I may be a bit out of touch, please accept my apologies.  However…

Monday.

Today is Monday.  Some Mondays you need to take with a grain of salt.  Or in this case, a block.  Today is Monday in the sense that Monday’s are busy, practically non-productive, frustrating, evil and otherwise useless. Monday is the day you bury your old, until-this-point, faithful computer.  Monday is the day your old, not-so-faithful phone starts crackling…

ACK!

Ack!  Ick!  Nnnnnooooooooo!  I think my laptop may have died.  It beeps, rudely, at my efforts to revive it.  Sure, its been telling me for months it wanted, no NEEDED, a new battery.  Did I listen?  Hardly, so instead it chose to check out on me.  I admitted it to the hospital 3 hours ago…

Marathon Maddness & Vitamins

I’m considering investing in one of those daily pill holders as seen on every nursing home bedside table in the country.  I don’t take any med’s but do believe in the power of vitamins.  My daily routine of vitamins takes precious seconds out of my morning and rushes me, which endangers my life considering the…
