So I’m going to pull out my English geek for this post & put her on full display. I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving (like everybody else in the US) & how at this time of year we focus on being thankful. I am thankful for a great many things in spite of the very hard [...]
I’m jumbled up today like a 5000 piece puzzle scattered about. I woke up feeling sort of okay…a day off & I need it. After a somewhat leisurely start to the day it was off to visit quickly with some friends & a quick lunch date with another friend. It was nice to see them [...]
For the love of Aunt Carrie’s corset I got my first ever blog award yesterday. My awesome friend Mary over at FitThisGirl was more than kind to award me one of her coveted 10. ”Becci!! I am nominating you for the Honest Scrap award!! I love your blog honest and raw humor, it is refreshing!”, [...]
Haven’t written much lately….I still don’t know what to say & even if I did I’m not sure that it matters. I’ll be honest I’m feeling sad today. I have had 5 pretty good days in a row but I feel my feet slipping on the edge & I am so tired of fighting & [...]
I don’t know what I’m doing…which for me is a huge problem. I always want to know where I’m headed. I like to have a plan of action, a course to follow, a map to read. I don’t mind taking detours if I’m not just wandering aimlessly. It’s the perfectionist (no that doesn’t [...]

I hurt so deep inside that it has become physical pain…not the gallbladder pain that I deal with too but a squeezing in [...]
Sitting bound to my desk today my mind is wandering to where I would like to be instead. As y’all know I’m a northern girl…born & raised in Minnesota. I’ve lived here my whole life & I belong here like I could never possibly belong anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong I love to travel [...]
Since I truly don’t know where to begin with everything I am just going to let my fingers walk across these keys & see what comes out….No forethought (a big thing for me…I like to know what direction I’m headed. I don’t mind detours or the scenic route as long as the general destination is [...]
Author’s Note: I started this nearly a week ago…as you can see it’s taken a while to finish this but I’m going to keep writing it as if no time at all has passed. In fact it may not have as I could possibly have found a way to go back in time & finish [...]
A month ago I was thinking of what we needed to pack for our Art in the Park weekend in Alexandria, MN. We were looking forward to nice weather & hoping for some good sales by the end of the weekend. I also had a few other things rolling around my brain box. Specificly the [...]
