Snowmageddon 2009 or A Typical Minnesota Winter

This was the scene at my parents’ house on Christmas Eve.  I was deathly ill over the holidays but I did take a few minutes to bundle up & go out to capture some of the snowfall.  It has been a very snowy winter this season…it reminds me of my childhood when we’d have days [...]

December, Departing & Depression

Wow, it’s December already.  I can hardly believe it’s halfway through the month.  In just a couple weeks we’ll be packing up a massive trailer & heading to South Dakota.  It will be the first time I’ve lived outside of Minnesota in my life.  Not that I haven’t done some traveling but I never felt [...]

She’s (FINALLY) Having A Baby!

I don’t even know where to start….life is moving in so many directions some days I don’t even know which way to turn.  We’re supposed to be working hard packing for the move to South Dakota…I say supposed to because it is much easier to promise to do the packing later & go play with [...]

This Old House

Well it’s official….we’ve found a new place to live.  Over the last week/weekend we made plans to look at some potential houses for the big move.  There were a lot of places that sounded like they’d be great.  One was a nice double wide with some additions…it looked really nice.  It was on 17 acres [...]

Thanksgiving & Being Grateful

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 [...]

October Round Up: Yippie Ki Yay

In this month’s rehash I’m mostly going to post pictures of random things & the visit with my brother TJ, his wife Jen & their boy little A (now I have the Jetsons theme song stuck in my head).  October was a month of more struggles for me & Abe.  We’ve made some major decisions [...]

Swiss Cheese Brain

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 & [...]

“Digital Ghosts” by Shadow Gallery : A Review

The very first note of this album will capture you completely & won’t let go–from the lofty harmonies through the driving beats & furious guitar solos to the exquisite finish, “Digital Ghosts, the new album from Shadow Gallery, is a revelation.

I’m a huge fan of music.  I have a decent & ever-growing collection of music…listening [...]

A Little Bit of Patting My Own Back

As you may have noticed I don’t have a lot of positive stuff to say lately….tough is my first response to that observation.  I’ve never been Ms. Positivity to begin with….the fact that things are craptastic right now hasn’t done anything to improve my outlook.  For all you “count your blessings” people out there I [...]

Familiarity Breeds….Fear of the Unknown

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 [...]
