Did you ever feel like you’re on a pendulum, and one side of the arc is sheer hell and the other is total bliss? Well after a couple of weeks of the bad stuff, the good has not only begun, it’s snowballing into a massive mountain of goodness. I’m hoping the pendulum gets stuck over [...]

I was requested, by the person that I’m avoiding writing about, to start blogging again… so let’s be a little random… I made this today. Except I used organic whole wheat flour, organic bananas, and a little milk instead of the sour cream. It was Better Than Mom’s, even without the chocolate chips. You really [...]

I set the table with the good china and silverware, we [...]

I’m taking a writing prompt off of the NaBlo site for this one: Tell us the story of a piece of jewelry you own. Where did it come from, and what does it mean to you? I wear three rings that each have a story. #1. I created a set of matching rings for minime and [...]

I wasn’t going to do this this year, I haven’t felt much like writing lately, but a couple of blog friends said they would if I would so I’m back. I’m doing it. I want to see what they have to say, so it’s only fair that I come out of hiding too. NaBloPoMo starts [...]

This week at work, my department is changing locations within the building. I’m one of three people on the team that are not tied to the phones so I moved my stuff today. They are moving the phone jockeys in shifts so that the phones are covered. I’m thankful that I’m already moved but it was [...]
