I have plans…

April 19, 2011

I really want to get back to blogging again – aka writing. I’m sorry if you are one of my three followers and I’ve neglected you. Honestly, the last year and a half has been so crazy, so full of all sorts of emotions and personal stuff that I really haven’t wanted to blog about [...]

Weekend at Mimi’s

August 23, 2010

Well, it’s really a weekend at Cindy’s and Cody’s, only without Cindy and Cody. Just me, the boys, and Dug the Pup™. We are having a grand time. The first night was a bit rough – mostly me getting settled into things. Learning how often to take Dug the Pup™ out to go potty, and [...]

Been Unfriended Lately?

August 20, 2010

I recently had someone unfriend* me on Facebook. I didn’t expect it at all. Even though I didn’t want to have a romantic connection with this person, I’d hoped they could remain my friend. Evidently that was too much for this person, and that’s okay – their choice – and I respect that. I can’t [...]

Honey Do

July 18, 2010

My front yard has been the bane of my existence as a homeowner. Well, the back yard is as well, but at least it is behind a fence so no one but me can really see it. The front yard gets me in trouble with the homeowners association all the time (“your lawn isn’t flourishing”)  [...]

I keep going, and going, and going…

February 13, 2010

Here’s a news flash for you: I’m an overachiever. That really surprised you, didn’t it? I’ve always been that way – it’s just who I am. This works out great for me in my career because I can do the work of three people in a third of the time and this keeps me employed, [...]

Amazing, really, but it’s more than parental pride

February 4, 2010

**Apologies to my Facebook friends who have already seen these photos ad-nauseum** My oldest daughter, Cindy, is an amazing photographer. The word “amazing” is often overused these days, in my opinion, as the go-to adjective to describe anyone or anything with slightly more-than-mediocre or impressive skills, talent, or results. In fact, I heard it in [...]

Coming up for air

February 3, 2010

Phew… there’s been so much going on lately that I’ve been a neglectful blogger. Sometimes I don’t blog because the hugely disparate thoughts that go through my mind are hard to congeal into any sort of substance that might make sense to my peeps. So I stay quiet. That, and I’ve been swamped with work [...]

No Rain for this Shower!

January 10, 2010

We started by posting signs wrapped in plastic wrap (it’s called the low budget version) anticipating rain and wind all day, but the Baby Shower Gods smiled on my daughter and the clouds parted and sun poured forth. We still had some wind, but we’re not complaining. We had a great turnout. I think there [...]

We are not tidy crafters

January 9, 2010

Thursday night, my youngest (the mommy to be) and I went up to my oldest daughter’s house and we got the party favors ready for the baby shower. What a fun time that was. When my first grandson was born, we spent time at my house making candles. I remember my son-in-law and daughter working [...]

Pre-Christmas Picture Fun & Wishes

December 24, 2009

Thought I’d share with you some random pics of the last few days before Christmas. Other than that, I don’t have much to say besides I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, whatever your religious affiliation or lack of one, whether it’s summer or winter wherever you are, whether you’re with family or single, [...]
