I know there are many many places within the US that I would love to visit. And I have dreams that go beyond the coasts of the US. Spain has always been a fascination for me. How I would love to call up a Barcelona hotel and book a suite for 2 […]

Anita & Moonshadow: What’s REALLY bad about the whole situation is that it WAS proofread by someone other than me. That was in my job description, that my “boss” — the minister, was to proofread everything I put out for publication. He proofreads the bulletin, and the meditation that we use as in insert for […]

I still have several hours of work (work-work, not blogging-work) ahead of me, but I am bound and determined to get it finished tonight. We are running out of time (the report has to be emailed in by midnight Wednesday). But, I do have to admit, today went alot better than last […]

I got so wrapped up in “blog stuff” this weekend, that I forgot to blog. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time doing it, but I revamped a couple of my sites. My wonderful, creative banner maker/friend whipped me up several new banners for the occasion, and now I’m good to go. To actually […]

As the end of October nears, I am always drawn back to 20 some years ago. To the beginning. Of our family. We celebrate our 24th anniversary next week. When we were first married, we traveled. Alot. Because of business. The first few years, we drove every where, […]

We’ve done some not-too-smart things over the years where our finances are concerned, but one thing we have done right, is making sure we had life insurance for kids. Equally important we made sure we had life insurance for us as well. Until my mom died, and I had to go through […]

With the cooler evenings, the leaves are changing, and the landscape takes on a whole new look. My brother-in-law went to Arkansas this weekend to get married. I don’t know the location, but David’s nephew was married at the same place last year, and we have seen pictures of the location — […]

. . . that this is just all part of the seasonal change. But. I am sooo not ready for winter to set it. Its cold. Its wet. I don’t like it. Course, I’ll like it even less when this cold and wet turns to snow and ice. I love and appreciate a beautiful snowy […]

I know there are alot of things I wouldn’t do, but something I would like to try my hand at one of these days is a home based business. Within that realm, I know there are quite a few things I wouldn’t do; but I can think of several that I would. I […]

That was a surprise. Usually, there is usually a little message at the bottom of the TV screen warning up of severe weather rolling through. And maybe this doesn’t constitute severe weather. But, we are watching TV, and we hear thunder. We have a weather alert program on […]

I had a doctor’s appointment today. I go once a week, it costs on an average, $100 a week. Insurance doesn’t cover it. One reason is because — we don’t have health insurance. When our insurance rates reached $750.00 a month, whether it was intentional or not, we let […]

Never give up. Never give up. That is my motto for now. I would like to give up. But I can’t. So, I will forge ahead. My weigh in wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t good. After such a good start, these past two weeks have been disappointing. Julie keeps trying to explain […]

As a wife and mom that works outside the home full time, it goes without saying that I do appreciate the evenings I can come home and supper is already done, because of a little preparation done before I left the house that morning. A crock pot is a working woman’s best friend. […]

*Sigh. Its now 9:00, and he’s still working on his article for the newsletter. There’s still a chance I’ll get it done….but I’m running out of time.
Update: Its now 12:20, and the newsletters are In. The. Mail. Whoo. Hoo. I had to go outside the box with the […]

I know how I would like for today to go, but I just have my doubts. This is newsletter day at the church. If things are ready to go, and I can start copying by 8:30 or so, then there is a good chance I can have them done and ready to mail by noon. […]

It doesn’t annoy me, but then, I like to read anyway, so this is just an extention of that. But, David is always getting after Ethan for having the closed captioning feature on. Well, he used to. Ethan has finally stopped doing it. I’m not sure what Ethan’s reasoning was […]

A couple of weeks ago, the premiere of Las Vegas was on, but David couldn’t be home to watch it, and it is his very favorite show. So, Ethan recorded it for him, and all was good.
The Unit is David’s 2nd favorite show, and it was on tonight, and again, he wasn’t able to be […]

The High School drama club performs several production over the course of the year, and usually Ethan is a part of them. But because of his job, and some other consequences of things he’s done, he hasn’t tried out for the last couple of productions. I wish circumstances would have […]

Life has a funny way of going on, regardless of what happens within our lives. David and I were both divorced before we met each other. Our 1st marriages both lasted less than 5 years. So, stepping into, what I felt like, was someone else’s shoes, was something that bothered me, but […]

AGK @ Jane Of Many Trades asks this QOTD: What are you currently reading?
I have two that I am reading. The first one is Lost and Found by Carolyn Parkhurst. The storyline centers around a Reality TV by the same name as the book. Each chapter gives you a […]

Being a typical 16 year old boy, Ethan would love to add car spoilers — to A car. Not necessarily HIS car. His car is older than he is, and right now, he’s pretty content just being able to keep up with the insurance and gas on it. […]

If you looked at David’s dresser recently, you would think that he might need to seek drug rehabilitation as many medications he is taking now. Between 5 prescriptions, and 4 vitamin supplements, he is to the point where he almost needs one of those pill organizers. How he keeps it straight […]

“… life never calms down long enough for us to wait until tomorrow to start living the lives we deserve.” —
This is so true. I keep thinking “well, when I get this and this and oh yeah, that done, we can do this. But then something comes up, and I’m […]

I suppose in the big scope of things, there are worse things to have a reputation for when you are a 16 year old boy. But Ethan is going to get a reputation for pie baking. He made 2 pies for his youth group fund raiser this weekend; and then in his […]

It all goes hand in hand, whether we are skinny or not so skinny. Its all about eating the right things, taking vitamins, getting enough rest, and exercising. Its at that point things differ. Being on a weight loss plan, there are certain things I’m required to eat, and supplements that I […]
