I ended up in the ER yesterday. I am ok now, but damn that sucked. NOT how I wanted my husband to spend V-day with me. That was NOT the plan (there wasn't a real plan just "spend time together" so.... we did that!) I went to my pulmonologist last week for my bi-annual check… Continue reading Life Event: Asthma

Life Events: Apologies!
I have 2 reviews in progress but have written little more than intro paragraphs on them. It has been such a crazy week for my paying-the-bills job that a LOT has slid to the side (my wonderful husband has been so supportive, I can't even tell you how much I have needed him this week).… Continue reading Life Events: Apologies!
New Year’s Resolutions
I don't do normal resolutions. By normal I mean the list of "this year I'm gonna lose 20 lbs" or "I'm saving $1 every day" I aim for my resolutions to change me; change my outlook or my philosophy or some aspect of me. They really become more than just one-year resolutions. For 2018, my resolution… Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions
Memories: Three years
Ok, so I missed the anniversary (by quite a bit actually) - but I've hit 3 years blogging! Wow. I was doing some admin clean-up and considering if I want to try a different skin (I feel like the "look" of my blog is... off/wrong/meh). I looked at my post history and found it had… Continue reading Memories: Three years
Memories: Ideal Weight
It's holiday season, which is always a stressful time and made more stressful for people who are trying to lose weight. With Thanksgiving past, I am seeing the annual parade of posts about "hitting the gym" and "getting back on the horse." This is hard for me. I am overweight. Technically, I am "obese" although… Continue reading Memories: Ideal Weight
Shopping!
Today is Black Friday in the US. The ultimate holiday of capitalism. I will be spending my day hanging out with my family. We will play board games, cook delicious food, and probably get into a political argument. It's like doing Thanksgiving 2 days in a row. So much better than going out and dealing… Continue reading Shopping!
Politics: Local
So last year my husband and I bought a house. And usually, I can ignore any elections in odd-number years, but 2 of the the 3 city council "at large" posts are on my local ballot. So it's time for: Annual Election Coverage Now, because I am just a hair paranoid, I won't list candidate… Continue reading Politics: Local
Life Memories: Lizard
Genkii just brought me a lizard. My indoor only -not-a-hunter cat brought me a lizard. A teeny-tiny little thing. I squealed (benefits of being a female, no one is shocked when I react strongly to things like a lizard in my living room). So he drops said lizard (with a look of surprise) and it scurries under… Continue reading Life Memories: Lizard
Life Event: Charlottesville
I almost posted Sunday. That is when I saw the news. Saturday I had disconnected and was (blessedly) unaware of what went down "in real time." I saw blessedly because I've seen streams of tweets and such that made things sound WORSE then reality - so by only reading up later I was able to… Continue reading Life Event: Charlottesville
Musings: Time for Craft
I like to feel creative. This past weekend I cleaned up my "craft corner." Unburied my sewing machine (God I want to be able to sew my own clothes). Found my calligraphy pen - nibs are still missing, but I still have 2 boxes to deal with. Pulled out my watercolor paints and put a… Continue reading Musings: Time for Craft
