It’s been two months since we moved. Hubby got a job & is working nearly 6 days a week. I’m so proud of him & know he’s much happier. I’m thankful that he’s able to get out & do what he loves.
I however am at home every day. I was ill throughout January & a [...]
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!”, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hmmmm….so I was feeling really pretty good going into October. Had a few days of feeling almost normal….that’s gone though…a friend told me the other day if I’d lived during Dickens’ time I’d have come up with “Bah Humbug” first (and said it about myself). Yeah well, I’d have been right too….
I don’t really know [...]
Last weekend when I had my head in the oven (no it was not a Sylvia Plath moment) at my brother-in-law’s house I was struck with the overwhelming memory of me as a very young girl in another kitchen.
I have such vivid memories of the first house I really lived in (the first house I [...]
As you may know (or not in which case you will soon learn) I have spent the long weekend in Missouri helping my brother-in-law move & clean up the old house. It has been a most bittersweet time as the circumstances for moving are not happy but we always have a good time hanging out. [...]
It’s no surprise to my readers (I think I have readers…hard to tell these days since my best ones have gone MIA & I’m not sure if I’ll get them back….) that my job is not my favorite place to spend time. Besides tumult in working with the office personnel, I am at the point [...]
5 year old me was always outside weather permitting. I had not yet discovered “chapter” books so although I was an accomplished reader books didn’t own me the way they would during my teen years (ok, they still own me). Being a farm girl there were 6.475 billion things to do on any given day. [...]
