Old Mom . . .
I read this post yesterday after a friend posted it on Facebook. I can mostly take or leave Facebook, but I love when I get something like that. I don't know that the woman who wrote it and I have a...

Whew!
Sorry to be gone so long. Nothing too exciting here. Lots of football. Ian was sick with some kind of horrific stomach thing this weekend. The only good thing to come from that was that Mike and Tim...

Sometimes I crack myself up.
Since I made the chalkboard for the door leading to the garage (our main entry and exit venue here) I've been trying to put up the day's date and anything relevant before I go to bed so that Mike and...

Sheesh!
How is it possible to be so busy and still feel like you're just treading water? Time seems to be passing so quickly and yet when I think about it, I feel like there's still too too much to do. I'm...

Ta-da!!!
Here is our garbage-picked table - all redone and made to look old again. I am pretty happy with it. Now to find chairs or convince Mike to build some benches or something. I'm pretty sure the...

What would FlyLady say?
Mike woke up this morning and told me he thought something was wrong with his feet. I looked at Mike. I looked at Mike's feet. All seemed normal. I asked what the problem was. He told me, "My feet...

Stoopid is as stoopid does . . .
Let me preface this . . . I am so very proud of all three of my older sons. They are all admirable young men with significant gifts and qualities. They are all working their insignificant behinds off...

You guess . . .
I love having the chalkboard in the kitchen. I've been trying, before I go to bed (yes! I do sleep), to draw something Halloween related for Mike and the boys to see in the morning. I don't think...

Happy Halloween!
And there goes another Halloween! I was talking with my neighbor and we were marveling at the fact this is ninth year that Andy and her son, Paul, have been trick or treating together. Most likely,...

It's November!
It really is November! You know what that means . . . Nano novel-writing time. I've managed to complete six of my seven attempts at writing a novel in one month. I guess I am going to try for an eighth...

It's like college finals!
As a rule, I'm not really a procrastinator. I'm more of a give me the bad news first kind of gal. I don't get on the computer until I've done everything that needs to be done each morning (which...

Falling back!
I think it's stupid we change time like we do twice a year. But, if I had to make a choice, I'd pick the "falling back" time hands down. I know it's just changing numbers, but I always feel more human...

Happy Guy Fawkes Day?
It's November 5 - Guy Fawkes Day. I'm not certain if you are supposed to wish someone a happy day or not. But, it is what it is. We've spent time on this day during several cycles of history and Andy...

Still here . . .
I am sitting here in what the kids call my Dobby outfit - ugly knit hat, oversized sweater, leggings and ugly socks. It's COLD here in Central Florida - 45 degrees last time I checked. The house is...

I blame math.
You know how a day can just unravel sometimes? You wake up with the best plans and those plans are thwarted before you're even remotely caffeinated? Today was that day. I had the best intentions. I...

Novels dont' kill . . .
the thought that you can write a coherent, cohesive novel in 30 days might just kill you, though. Or not. The people that started this Nano challenge were young, childless and fairly free of...

This made my afternoon!
I saw a link to this site called Deadspin this afternoon. I followed it to read the article entitled "The Hater's Guide to the Williams-Sonoma Catalog." I don't generally classify myself as a hater,...

What IS art?
My mom and I decided late yesterday to attend the Orlando Museum of Art's Festival of Trees this afternoon. We have missed the past couple of years and it was was fun to go back. It was extra fun to...

pro-cras-ti-nate, v.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did. The sad thing, though, with all the boys home and hungry, we were out of leftovers by midday Friday. Someone send stuffing AND pie! My mom hosted...
