Unlearning

Both of my parents birthdays were in the last few days. They are both gone now, but I still remember them on their days, especially my dad who was born on April Fools Day, eighty eight years ago.  I have written about them before.  They were amazing together.  I miss their energy in my life. [...]

quickies

I just had a good few days off from work. I went to a cute little zoo that’s 25 min from me that I’d never heard of before.  I took my camera and tested out my new zoom lens and prime lens that I haven’t had a chance to break in yet.  I have a [...]

Resolved

This week was intense. For as much as I enjoy three day weekends, which I had last weekend. That combined with 2 days of training the days before the weekend, and then the extra day off, made this week hellish. We also lost a really good worker due to a bad corporate policy, so we [...]

February 14th

It’s been an interesting day here at Casa Grania. First, it’s Valentines Day.  I used to hate it because it was more of an excuse for my ex’s idiocy than anything. He’d do all the stuff that you’re supposed to do on Valentines and then expect me to respond by doing something that I inevitably [...]

EARTHSHAKE!!! and a good idea

Am I the only one that remembers the kid show that “EARTHSHAKE!!!” is from? Minime loved the show. So, I live in the midwest, and we had an earthquake this morning.  I live very near the epicenter, and I felt it.  Every once in a while, Mother Earth likes to remind us who’s really in [...]

Where’s the pod?

Today is Saturday.  I got up early, had an awesome, healthy breakfast with a dear friend.  She is an employee of a national tax prep place, so she also does my taxes, at a greatly reduced rate, for which I’m extremely blessed. They were done and filed before 8:30 this morning. I owe a few [...]

bloggus interruptis

I haven’t been around much.  I’m going through kind of a writing hiatus as much by choice as out of necessity.  Don’t worry though, there are good things going on. I’ve been working hard at losing weight, and also working at trying not to get discouraged at the lack of speed that I’m used to [...]

Life

Sometimes life happens and I don’t have enough energy at the end of the day to write anything but a recap, but I don’t really feel the need to recap everything, so here’s the short list and a new-ish musician that i’ve just discovered: Barfy cat is barfy again. She’s not as bad as before, [...]

Thoughts

I’ve been a little busy so here are some random things that have gone through my head in the last few days. Meip Geis died yesterday. Anyone who knows the story of who Anne Frank was knows who Mrs Geis was. She was 100.  This is from an interview that she did with a group [...]

I am NOT THAT OLD!!

We were very blessed at Christmas.  I got all the usual perks  from the guys that I work with, and my family seems to have caught the gift card bug.  One of the gifts that Minime bought Roomie was a gift card to Amazon.  He looked around on the site and didn’t really find anything [...]
