My sisters say I don’t blog enough

And they’re totally right.  I told them to come clean my house so I would have time to actually do something else outside of work, but all I got were wrinkled noses and shaking heads on that one.  But, I’m trying to write a blog anyway.  YOU’RE WELCOME, SISTERS.

Ahem…

Uh…this thing on?

*Tap tap*

I believe this is what is called a weblog, yes?  You…type?  And it goes out to the…Internets?  It’s been so long I’m a bit rusty on how all this works.

Dear bloggy friends, I have not forgotten you.  I’ve just been blasted busy.  Yes, really.  Busy and exhausted.  I . . . → Read More: Ahem…

All by my lonesome

This week, everyone up and left me.  Just like that!  Can you believe it?  Total lame-sauce.  I suppose they didn’t leave me behind on purpose, it’s just how it turned out.  But still…

On Thursday the husband left for a 4 day backpacking trip through the Southern Utah wilderness.  As he has been finishing . . . → Read More: All by my lonesome

Mother’s Day

Did everyone have a nice Mother’s Day weekend?

I love the idea of taking days to recognize our parents.  Good golly, I would probably die without my mom.  She’s always been so great.  I know I definitely needed her as a kid- depending on her for all my physical and emotional needs.  We were . . . → Read More: Mother’s Day

Finding my wings

This last year has been a difficult one for me.  Not in an epic-catastrophic-event kind of way, as I know others around the world have experienced, which I am grateful for.  Instead, the best way I can describe it is that I’ve been walking my way through a gray mist, with some stumbling blocks . . . → Read More: Finding my wings

It’s all in the wrist

A few months ago I discovered a new workout program that I loved.  It was challenging, it was interesting, I could do it at home, and I was seeing results!  At last!  An exercise routine I loved!  Only there was one problem:  after a couple of months I started noticing this weird pain in . . . → Read More: It’s all in the wrist

Writer’s block

I haz it.

The end.

Ok, fine, that is a lame excuse for a post.  But yes, I do have writer’s block, in a way.  In reality, I write stuff all the time… in my head.  But lately it never seems to flow out through my fingertips and onto my keyboard.  Why is that?  . . . → Read More: Writer’s block

Awesome and Awful: A List

We’ll start with awful first, since I’ve always been the type who likes the bad news first rather than the good news.

AWFUL:

The car is in the shop AGAIN.  Third. Accident. In. Five. Months.  AHHHHHHH!  Luckily though, once again this one was not our fault and not too bad, so that is kind . . . → Read More: Awesome and Awful: A List

I suppose some would call it a privilege…

The other day I got that dreaded letter in the mail.

I’ve been summoned for jury duty.

I realize a fair trial where you are judged by your peers is one of the privileges of living in a free and democratic society, and that it is my civic duty to participate, but who has . . . → Read More: I suppose some would call it a privilege…

Just a sidenote…

Generally speaking I don’t watch the Academy Awards, simply because doing the dishes is loads more exciting.  However, I do like to see the dresses from the red carpet so I usually check them out online the next day.  Can I just say that when I grow up I want to be Helen Mirren?
