May 15th today! Halfway point through May. SO, how's it going? Overall, not as bad as I thought, really. We have had to do a fair amount of picking and choosing/ skipping things, which in some ways I suppose is unfortunate, but also has helped wield down the number of things from this list. I… Continue reading How the month is going

Blog book, shopping, Nutella…
Mish mash post here today of a few random things... #1: I finally ordered and received my printed Blog Book from our Costa Rica trip! I had this one made with my blog post recaps after our New England trip in 2021: from intorealpages.com It turned out great, and ever since I have wanted to… Continue reading Blog book, shopping, Nutella…
May by the numbers/photos
Just did a little audit of the May calendar... we're in the thick of it now! To me things REALLY gear up when there start to be a bunch of special weeknight events. This sets May apart from the rest of the year, I think. The numbers Tennis matches= 4 (including one full day Conference… Continue reading May by the numbers/photos
Moving in the right direction…
I didn't sleep great last night; it started off with over an hour awake where I could NOT stop coughing from 11 pm- midnight, during which I protested out loud in frustration "Come ON!" several times to my dark bedroom, sleeping husband and dog. It finally subsided, but I awoke today with a still very… Continue reading Moving in the right direction…
Sick edition
Coming at you from Sick Day #2 of the week over here (well, more like Sick Day #5, technically, but I mean Sick Day #2 off of work). I started getting a sore throat on Friday but didn't think too much of it really. I had several long phone calls on Thursday and I sat… Continue reading Sick edition
“Busy seasons” + good stuff list
As I suspected and forecasted, this is a BUSY season for us right now. Side note- It annoys me that I just said that. Because I kind of feel like I, or the collective "we", have all taken to calling every season "busy". Have you noticed that? This current season (April-May) is the busy spring… Continue reading “Busy seasons” + good stuff list
Lately…The “Let’s Browse my Camera Roll” edition
First of all! A big thanks to all of you who chimed in on my last post about Hawaii and travel expenses. There were some REALLY interesting comments as well as helpful tips! I just went back this morning (finally) and responded to every one of you! Secondly, I am holding myself back from writing… Continue reading Lately…The “Let’s Browse my Camera Roll” edition
A check in! And oops, a Hawaii $$ related spiraling tirade…
HI and sorry about disappearing! For a whole week! I just realized my last post was last Friday, which is a very long time for me to go with no blog posts. I had told myself I wasn't allowed to write any regular posts until I finished my Smokies recaps, but I still have 2… Continue reading A check in! And oops, a Hawaii $$ related spiraling tirade…
Random life updates
🔷 Ivan turned 43 last Monday! Not the most exciting day to have a birthday (a Monday), but we were able to clear the decks and go out for (what else?) Mexican food. His brother + his gf joined us, and I stealthily told the waitress it was his birthday when he went to the… Continue reading Random life updates
Friday/ New month!
Eek, I sort of "missed" the end of February and the whole Leap Year fun. I don't feel like I exactly rounded out February in a nice, neat way, either. Oh well. I still have some lingering tasks from my Monthly list but maybe I can tackle those this weekend. (Specifically, I want to review… Continue reading Friday/ New month!
