The one thing I like being on this weight loss plan, is that it seems to balance things out, giving me more energy, I’m not hungry, and pardon me for TMI, but its like I have taken something for a colon cleanse. It makes “things” move a whole easier, and I’m sure that […]

When we used to travel back in the 80’s and 90’s, there were a couple of places that I really like to go. One was the Washington State area. The other was down around the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The breathtaking beauty of the land, and getting away from […]

What to fix for supper. Seems like that is a never ending question. I try to plan ahead, and I suppose I always have it narrowed down to 3 or 4 things I know it could be, and its just a matter of deciding which one it is. One of David’s favorite […]

Oops. David messed up. But, I’ll be nice. Last Friday night, he said “I’m not going anywhere, don’t ask, it doesn’t matter who wants me to do what, I’m staying home. Las Vegas new season.”. That would be…ah…. tonight. He’s on his way to Florence to […]

With Christmas right around the corner, we need to be deciding what to do for the kids for Christmas. The older kids are pretty easy; but when it comes to Ethan, he tends to want things that exceed our price limit — such as a laptop or the newest Razr phone that is out. […]

I think it is so strange, but I understand why he does it. We have been buying this one kind of light bulb that is guaranteed for 5 years. It seems like we are always having light bulbs go out, so spending a little extra for home lighting, if it lasts for 5 […]

We probably won’t go camping this weekend either, but I do want to camp a few more times this fall, while the temps are cool, but not cold. I love being out among the nature (even if we are in the camper), the smell of a campfire burning, and turning the patio area […]

At one time, I would use our wrist blood pressure machine to check my blood pressure, but more important, my pulse rate, and to see if my heart was beating normally, or if it was out of rhythm. These days, I don’t need a blood pressure machine, or a pulse oximeter or any other […]

I can’t believe its almost the weekend already. And what’s more — I haven’t posted SINCE the weekend. No regular posts, no paid posts. I’ve done a couple over at my weight loss blog, and a quick update on my toothache at “Quiet Time” — but other than that, nada. I’ve just been in one […]

Like my blogs and websites, my checks cannot be “plain jane” as well. When it comes time to buy checks I will spend hours, pouring over a check catalog or flyer or website, looking at the different designs, trying to decide what I want to order. VistaPrint checks is […]

I know I said this a couple of days ago, but I am still impressed. Several days has gone by, and still no spam comments. Just a simple little plug in did the trick. And I’ve gotten several “real people” comments since then, so apparently no body minds having to type in that simple little […]

It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that the only way you could save money was to watch for the weekly specials in the paper, and buying the Sunday paper to clip coupons, and find refund offers. The internet has introduced a whole new world of saving money, and finding different […]

I’m not sure what all is involved; but David spent most of the evening on the computer, looking up all the prescriptions that he is having to take now. And most of them qualify for the $4 prescriptions at Walmart. I don’t know what all you have to do to be able to take advantage […]

Fortunately, with my addictive-type personality, smoking is one addiction I haven’t had a problem with. Shopping. Eating. And a few others, yes. So, I do understand the overwhelming urge to put something into my body that I know is not good for me. I have also been around family […]

My favorite time of day? Once I get up and going, morning is my favorite time of day. Usually by evening, I am pretty much done in, not for any good reason, other than just getting through the day. But in the mornings, I am usually clear headed, and mind full of […]

I am struggling. I have a plan, but I have ceased to have it in place. I have resumed to bad habits and bad choices. I am embarrassed to even return to the place of the plan that I should have in place. How many “do overs” am I allowed? […]

Yeah! It looks like it just might have worked. I have several spam blocking plugins loaded, and for the most part, they worked great. I just had to delete a section of captured spam every so often. But in the last couple of weeks, for whatever reason, alot of […]

When I was growing up, my Halloween costumes would be very simple. Some years my mom would make my costume, other years, she would buy them. Since I was a girl, the costumes would be the customary fairy or princess type. Cinderella comes to mind. Boys had it easy. […]

Now the doctor is thinking it is a torn rotor cup. I’m really not pleased with all the 2nd guessing here, and no tests or x-rays being done. But, I don’t like it when David dictacts what I need to do when I see my doctor(s), so I’ll step back for […]

I hope he follows through. David has been hurting for awhile now. His arms, his joints. His legs sometimes. His back. Some days are better than others. The man who used to jump in the truck (semi) and go at the drop of the hat … wasn’t sure he could […]

To put it into perspective, we are only 3 and 1/2 semesters away from being at the end. The end of child rearing as we have known it. Our youngest child will graduate, and presumably go on to college or into a job that will move him out of the house, leaving […]

Very often, I will browse through my favorite stock image web site, looking for that “just right” picture to decorate my blog. When I”m not focusing on prairie or sunflower pictures, I often search for rocking chairs, windows, and other “at home” kind of pictures. Looking at those pictures makes me want […]

I am so glad that today played out the way it did. Yesterday I worked by myself at the office, but it was a pretty day, and I didn’t mind being alone. But today, storms came rolling through, including the electricity going out for awhile. I am sooo glad David was there. […]

My favorite room in my home and why? That would have to be the office. Its a little more cluttered than what I would like it to be; but one of these days, I’m going to get in there and go through things, declutter, and turn it into well run scrapbook room. […]
