Temper, Temper
One of my favorite bloggers, Bluz Dude, posted about an interesting subject a while back. I’d originally intended to answer right away, but life has been a bit goofy, so it took me a while to get back to him. The post was titled Argument Clinic, and he went on a bit of a rant about women’s style of arguing (yeah, his female commenters loved that ( Read more... ) -
A Maybe Life
Have you ever seen The Weather Man with Nicolas Cage? Tom and I watched it for date night tonight, and it hit a nerve I've been feeling on the fringe of my consciousness but haven't really delved into yet. Here's the part that summed it up, which is appropriate, since it's at the very end, when the character is summing up his life ( Read more... ) -
I miss interjecting myself into your daily life
As one of my favorite bloggers, Mrs. Bachelor Girl, said recently, I haven't been "bloggy" lately, and I miss it. I miss reading about everybody's stuff on their blogs, and I miss talking about my own opinions and experiences on mine. That's what you do when you have a blog, after all. I've been so obsessed this last year with To Do lists and ( Read more... ) -
How does it always sneak up on me?
I've had lots of years in my life when the "spirit of the season" and the family time and church and all that mushy stuff was meaningful and special and needed. LOTS. But this year, I have kind of felt "above it all" for some reason. I love my family and adore my husband and animals and home and all that, but I was (up until tonight) perfectly ( Read more... ) -
Christmas Tree!
We bought a white artificial Christmas tree several years ago, and I absolutely love it! We use lights that have a white wire (tough to find, man!) and just use one color throughout - simple and pretty (*I* think). The problem is, I can never get a good picture of it (I admit, I'm using my point-n-click - Tom's nice one might do it justice). We ( Read more... ) -
ProjectYou
Howdy Everybody!
This one's short. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've posted to our long-silent community, ProjectYou, with a goal for December. If you've never visited, give it a look! We'd love to have you. We've kind of been on hiatus since the summer (when my life got a bit hectic), but we're back online again. It's a community for ( Read more... ) -
A Totally Non-Holiday-Related Vent
The medicine I take for my ADD has been on manufacture back-order for about a month now (don't ask me how that can happen - I don't know). I finally got fed up and called my doc that prescribes it (whom we're not super confident in usually because she doesn't seem very, let's say, on top of things, which is why I didn't call her at first) and ( Read more... ) -
A Minor Milestone
I was going through some old recipes and stacks of food booklets today and happened upon my Weight Watchers tracking book from when I joined back in 2007 (when I was still working), and I made an interesting discovery ( Read more... ) -
Accomplishments
Accomplishments today:

- Finished my resume and cover letter for applying for another job. Cross your toes for me!
- Feel blessed and loved instead of negative and whiny :)
- *Mostly* ignoring a ( Read more... )
