I’ve been crafting a lot for the last few weeks. It feels good to be creating things again. This morning I also got around to framing a couple more of my grandmother’s lace pieces. I have two more to go but they need large frames that I’m going to have to get custom made. I’m [...]

So, you can’t see it, but I moved this site to a whole different web provider. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my old server company. They were UBER friendly to not-geeks like me. I’m keeping a different website over there because they’re awesome. They made it really easy to learn and do everything that [...]

Wow time flies. Time for a random thoughts post. Christmas was good. It was hard too. New Years was harder. Good riddance to last year. Really. Too much loss, death, sickness, brokeness. For PTSD’d me it was all kind of the last straw. I got a therapist. A really good therapist that makes me think, [...]

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 [...]

My birthday was this week. It’s been a mostly fun week with a lot of work stuck in between. I have the week off from my job, and Monday is Labor Day so that’s 10 full job free days. I’ve done a cursory check of my e-mail every day but there’s nothing there that can’t [...]

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 [...]

Thanksgiving was pretty wonderful, thanks! How was yours? Roomie made his traditional and yummy green bean/potato/bacon goodness in a pot. I made the turkey breast, stuffing (eh, too mushy), baked sweet potatoes, pecan pie, cheesecake, and opened the can of cranberry stuff. That’s it. I set the table with the good china and silverware, we [...]

Yesterday was my 43rd birthday. I celebrated by kidnapping best friend from her family, dragging us out to Galena to meet with my favorite daughter and son-in-law. It’s a day that’s best written about by it’s defining moments, so here goes: Best moment with my best friend: aside from discussing the hotty, straight off the [...]

Sorry for the blogging break, it wasn’t intentional. The last couple of weeks have been very full of real life. First and most importantly, I’m happy to announce that I’m now a Mother In Law. Minime tied the knot in a small, somewhat secret, ceremony last week. It was a joyful day. My best friend [...]
