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 [...]

I’ve spent probably 18 hours in the last week going through stuff in my junk room, bagging it, and yesterday we put all of them out on the driveway for pick up by a local charity today. Minime needs a book case, so I started there and emptied one. I don’t know why I haven’t [...]

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, [...]

BFF reminded me at dinner last night that I hadn’t written since Thanksgiving. So here I am, 4:27 AM, Christmas Day morning, waiting for more cold meds to take effect, writing. At least it’s Christmas and there’s good TV on. I’ve been enjoying several concerts on public television. Andre’ Bocelli, and separately a Christmas concert [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! Embracing the change that has become the norm in my life, there is no turkey on our table today. I’m surprisingly OK with it. I thought a couple of months ago, when I started down this vegetarian road, that missing The Turkey would make me bitter and resentful. Here’s the thing though. Every [...]

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’m writing this the day after a trip to see Minime. It’s her birthday week, and yes we’re cornball and celebrate the whole week instead of just a birthDAY because we roll like that, and it’s fun! We need more fun! everyone does, so what the heck. Fun! So yesterday, BFF and I drove 4 [...]

Wow, time flies. In the last couple of weeks I’ve gone from the standard meat/junk/dairy/American diet, to being about 95% vegan. The funny thing is I don’t really miss meat. Two things happen when you give up meat/dairy. Roomie and I have both noticed how much more energy we have. Along with that, I’m sleeping [...]

Let me start this by saying that some video games become deeply entrenched when you play them for as many hours as I did as a kid. Every time I start something new, I hear Mario from Super Mario Brothers do the “Here we go!” before he jumps into a new level, in my head. [...]
