Back for more? Don’t hate me yet? Awesome. Yesterday I ranted about my children and today I will rant some more. We also mentioned Anne of Green Gables and the newest adaptation. I started off discussing a book I’ve never read and other peoples opinion of it and it’s adaptations for the screen. And then… … [Read more…]
I have a confession: I have never read Anne of Green Gables. Nor have I read many other books I probably was supposed to in school. Although, to be honest, none of these were on any reading lists for school. I was one of those annoying people who even as a kid could skim a … [Read more…]
This is my window sill today and most days. No idea why I am collecting GM bottles. I really only need one. I am sure we enjoyed them though and a 4th may join them soon. The one I need is intended for my husbands final resting place, albeit after a bit of, um, … [Read more…]
Does anyone else have fantasies of just chucking your cell phone, buying a Princess phone (click to see what that is if you don’t know) and just going all commando as you venture into the world? I do. Daily. And I don’t even have anyone calling me except when I am at work. I got my … [Read more…]
Wow. Did I really write/say that? Yep. Totally did. Read on dear friend, read on. So I recently (like 5 days ago) got unlimited internet access which is HUGE. As in, saving $75/month and no more overage HUGE. I am ecstatic. To celebrate I am taking an online course that I signed up for (after … [Read more…]
So it’s been a while. I’ve been writing with a <gasp> pen in my <double gasp> paper journal and largely ignoring the inter webs, or, at least, my blog. I changed the name of my Facebook page and have had sincere intentions to get back here to tell about it and to somehow link this … [Read more…]
I know. That sounds really gimmicky. Well, maybe it is but I am so stoked right now, it’s not even funny. Here’s the deal: I just bought $294.90 worth of stuff at L.L. Bean for $9.44. $9.44!!! Do you want to know how? This is SO cool!! Ok. So first: I use a Discover Card. … [Read more…]
I got up this morning and made a pot of coffee. Poured some in my travel mug and walked outside. It was warm, sunny and a bit muggy. Perfect weather. So I started walking. Just me, my coffee and a pair of green crocs. (With pink sweatpants. I was a fashion riot) It felt so … [Read more…]
I keep reading about not only letting go of material things to make way for experiences, joy, etc., but also about letting go of old habits or thoughts or attitudes. Each time I’d read it I thought that sounded kind of fluffy and, well, weird. Good grief, don’t make me “get in touch with myself.” … [Read more…]
I have this thing for old things. I hate to replace them. Not that I don’t like new and shiny but I feel bad giving up on something just because it’s old and maybe a little less shiny or even kinda ugly. Don’t those years of service mean anything? Last year I had to finally … [Read more…]
