I haven’t ventured out yet, but we woke to sun shining through the windows, so that is a good start. And the forecast doesnt’ show any rain for the next couple of days. The weekend was perfect, so maybe we have turned the corner and can expect some decent weather for May. […]

I love shopping, and I love saving money. One of my favorite stores to stop at when we go “to the city” is Catherine’s. They carry clothing for the plus size woman. For awhile there, I was not able to readily buy clothing at Walmart. They didn’t make it in my […]

I wish he were going, but tonight is a perfect example of why he can’t. For many years, David would attend a 3 days “retreat” in the Kiamichi mountains. A group of our guys from the church would travel to Honobia, OK, and basically just back to nature and closer to God. […]

We all have our own tolerance for pain. I usually let things go too far before I seek professional help, or take anything for pain that I am having. Course, the fact that I take Toprol and Coumadin — that plays into what I take and don’t take as well. There […]

This weekend was wayyy to short. Working most of yesterday didn’t help the cause. I was hoping to work only a couple of hours; but I ended up being at the office until after 4:00. Then today, between church, fixing lunch, watching a movie that we rented last night, and then taking […]

Working in two seperate offices each day, both of which have a copier, I always have an on-going list of office supplies that I need to pick up when we head off to the “big city”. Buying them locally most of the time, usually proves to be an expensive venture, and we just always […]

This would be a great weekend to go camping; but I have a feeling, until school is out, unless I want to go camping on my own, we might as well plan it as a summer activity. David is working. Ethan has an State ensemble contest he will be leaving in a […]

We have several nurses in our congregation and they wear the typical nursing scrubs that is commonly found in hospitals today. Working at the church, and being the church secretary, my wardrobe is pretty much unlimited. I can dress up or down to however I see fit. I normally don’t dress […]

Did I mention that I received flowers this week? and a pretty gift bag filled with all kinds of goodies … a notepad, a car airfreshner, some lotion … The gift bag came from one of the ladies at our church, who is always doing special things like that. […]

I have blogged for numerous years. I journaled in books prior to that. It was just something I did. Something I enjoyed. Just a part of who I was. I never ever once thought that I would be able to take something that I enjoy so much and is so […]

I haven’t put pen to paper (I was doing really good there, keeping track of every dollar earn, paid with the entries written, but somewhere along the line, I got sidetracked, and now, I don’t have a clue). So, I don’t know if its affecting the amount of dollars earned each week; but I […]

We have all heard and maybe even used Quickbooks, Quicken and Turbo Tax. Working at two different offices every day, at two very different aspects of the “business” world (and not-quit-so-business world — the church), spreadsheets and databases are used on a daily basis. The leading provider of those programs now offers an […]

I would just as soon bury my head in the sand, and make this go away. But, deep down, I really don’t want it to go away. I want o find the right path again, and make some headway. So, head held high, I will share with you that my luck ran […]

This is a great opportunity for us that live out in the middle of nowhere. We have a small video store in our town, but very often, the good movies are already taken. Being able to order DVD’s online simplifies everything. Blockbuster DVD Subscription Rentals lets you rent 3 movies at a time. […]

We have taken a special interest in theatre and musicals since my son, who is 16 now, decided some 6 or 7 years ago he was “going to sing”. I just kinda patted him on the head, told him it was a nice dream, and didn’t really think a whole more about it. […]

And it continues to rain even more. I don’t know how much it rained this afternoon; but it rained hard, and it rained for quite awhile. Lots of roads under water. Not a good deal. But now its quiet, the birds are chirping. So, I am feeling the blessings […]

For someone who suffers from severe sleep apnea, I think I do know the importance of a good nights sleep better than most people. When you think you are sleeping, if your sleep is interupted, you awake feeling tired and groggy, very fatigued. The same goes for those people who know they don’t […]

And then if today’s weigh in isn’t pressure enough. I just got an email from someone — Ethan and I joined a “Biggest Loser” challenge a couple months ago. I did really well with the first weigh in, totally spaced off the 2nd one. And went into denial with the 3rd. […]

Wish me luck.
Granted. Luck shouldn’t have anything to do with it. I should be able to say with confidence that my weigh in this afternoon will go well, and that I can expect a loss. And, I think that is probably what will happen. But I don’t feel exceptional […]

We own a cat. Or maybe I should say our cat owns us. We are his people. He gets his head scratched on demand, backed rubbed when asked. He owns the whole house, likes to open cabinet doors. But at least he doesn’t flush the toilet like a cat I […]

Red. Blue. Black. They come in a multitude of colors. Everyone uses them, from school age children to corporate officers and the richest of the rich. What is it? Ink pens. Some people are real fanatics about the pens they use; other people could care less, as long as it […]

I also got the Photo Blog updated. I still have a few things to update it more, but for the most part, I’m pretty pleased with it. And, it actually might come in handy. Last night, Ethan’s Barbershop group sung, and David video taped the whole Christian Music Showcase, […]
