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
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…
🔷 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
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!
1) I was walking Charlie the other afternoon, on one of our surprise-spring-warm-days (not today which is absolutely frigid again). As I approached this one corner house, I saw 2 little boys playing in the front yard. Maybe... 4 and 6? 5 and 7? Somewhere in there. Anyway, it was such a nice day and… Continue reading Random…Thoughts from A Walk with Charlie
We have been having some AMAZING weather this week. Warm- like mid 50s I think yesterday?!- and sunny. Asher asked if "spring was here" now. Oh. Um, no. I'd love to say yes, but I've lived here long enough to know not to be fooled by Mother Nature's trickery. It will snow again. I actually… Continue reading Thursday misc., running update
I'm happy to report that my bad week has generally settled down. Things have still felt just a little crazy, but at least Charlie is finally doing better!! Charlie Update: So, I had mentioned he had chewed up a lamp cord last week, followed by a week of nighttime wakings with loose stools. (I did… Continue reading Sunday updates
Argh, today is not my day! This is not feeling like my week! I keep feeling "squished" (ie pressure, issues, things I have to do) from all sides and I'm annoyed. Sleep (p.s. sorry if this part is Too Much Information): A large portion of the problem is lack of sleep, I think. Charlie seemed… Continue reading Stop squishing me
Father Winter sure stopped by this week around here. I don't know the exact totals, but something in the 8 inch range on Tuesday, and yesterday into today we got hammered with another ~12 inches. I envision a wintery, mythical creature like this waving a snow wand over Wiconsin: I've been generally feeling it! Yes,… Continue reading Snowy snowy Saturday…
1. I am loving all of the "Yearly Round Up" posts that are starting to circulate. They are so fun to read and give me great ideas! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to sit down and formulate any of my own thoughts on any of these yet. A few post ideas I've seen… Continue reading Friday 5: long-winded exercise update edition (and other misc)
