**It takes a LOT for me to get annoyed enough to actually complain about something. I am the sort of person that will push raw chicken around on her plate at a nice restaurant, then fix a pb&j when I get home, before I will return a meal. I bitch and moan a lot, but [...]
Regarding the proposed health care reform, I should be honest and say I don’t know enough about it to really form an intelligent opinion …………… so that’s all I’ll say about it. I have an UNeducated opinion, but don’t want to start **that** discussion on this blog, so we’ll end it there. But I will [...]
While things are still a little hectic around here, and the downstairs looks like a tornado hit us, I think we’re turning a corner. I broke down and bought a new laptop yesterday so I can at least stay connected online because goodness knows I’m not patient enough to go to the public library every [...]
My life has fallen to crap. (Before anyone panics, this is written entirely mostly in jest. No one is ill, no one has disappeared, no one has been abducted by aliens. Absolutely NOTHING serious has happened. But other than that, my life has fallen to crap.) Remember in late October when my camera lens, the good [...]
Shatteringly? Is that even a word??? Regardless, I have to ask, because the lower temperatures outside tell me its that time of year again …. time for cozy fires, flannel blankets, and hot chocolate?

Anyone who has followed this site (or Blogger previously, or Caringbridge before that, or back in my younger days when I carved on cave walls with rocks ….) for any length of time knows I have a real love/hate relationship with computers and technology. I know just enough to be dangerous …. just enough to [...]
Our school is having its Fall Book Fair right now and Kendrie bought a book today called “Coke or Pepsi”, or something like that. Basically, a book of questions for the reader to ask their friends to get to know them better. Mainly yes or no, short-answer, or “choose between” type questions ….. silly, fun, [...]
Continuing in my October Self-Portrait Challenge Theme of “4 Random Things About Me” ….. I present Random Item #2: Of all the places Blaine and I have ever been stationed, the one I loved most, and would most consider returning to, was Ohio. In fact, Blaine and I agree that if we didn’t have family [...]
Different people, I believe, are touched and comforted by different panoramas. Have a space down deep in their soul where calm and peace are available, based on what the eye can see, and what is soothing to their psyche. Some people enjoy an ocean view ….. some people love snow-capped mountains. For others, a city [...]
