Ugh. We are now through May. Isn’t it April showers bring May flowers? What about all the May showers we had? And now there is another storm rolling through, and we are one of the counties they are keeping an eye on. After the Greensburg storm, I am a little apprehensive […]

Ethan recieved his first check yesterday. What a moment. I think he finally “gets” it now. Trying to figure out what to pay, what not to pay, balancing need over want. And making what you have last for 2 weeks. Its a fine balancing act. Some do it better than […]

If my laptop was used only for what I do, we wouldn’t have a problem. But *cough*somebody*cough likes video games, and for some reason, that seems to use alot of memory. The Memory Store appears to be a good resource for upgrading laptops or desktops. We don’t need Dell memory, since we […]

With the building of the new church building, it has been fun — and interesting — to watch it all “come together”. How the sanctuary and fellowship hall compliments the offices and other rooms within the church. The minister’s room has really come together with all the various home furniture touches the ladies […]

Did I have a blanket or a favorite toy? Tell about it.
I had lots of favorite toys that I played with often — pickup sticks, monkeys in a barrel, a turquoise pickup truck and lots of barbie dolls. But. My most favorite “comfort” toy was a big teddy that I slept with […]

Curiosity killed the cat. Of course we all know that is nothing but an old wives tale. Curiosity is actually a very healthy thing, and is the focus of Synovate, a market research company. It is their job to learn what people like, and why they like what they like. […]

Where I work, we don’t use enough envelopes to justify the cost of pre-printed envelopes; but we do mail out enough stuff that handwriting the return address can be a monumentous task at times. Printing my own address labels is usually the route I take, although we do have an address stamp. […]

David just called. Ethan is done fine. David sounds in a better mood; and his attitude is a “good” one …”I’m glad it didn’t sell”. He’s not mad; and no. He didn’t call anybody else. Everyone calls him when they need something. But. He’s just that way. […]

I thought this was going to be a good day; but somehow, I don’t think its going to end up that way. We have several vehicles, too many actually. Since Ethan has his own car now, David decided to sell his old Chevy. Yes, there were a few things wrong with it, […]

Sinced we didn’t camp, we went to where the campers were. David’s 2 brothers and their families camped up near Topeka, so we went up there this afternoon for lunch/supper and just some general family time. Ethan had to work, so he didn’t go. While we were there, David’s mom and dad […]

Ethan was actually in a better mood this evening than I thought he would be. Pretty talkative, and wasn’t as dog tired as I was thinking he would be. Thats good. Because when he gets tired, he gets grouchy. We still had things to do out to the cemetary, so once […]

I feel like I have hit a wall. Mentally. Physically. I started on this weight loss plan in September. I did really really well on it. And then…somewhere along the line, I mentally stopped the plan. I kept attempting to do what I need to do; but I lose […]
