texting in the morning
I sent this to Jamie a bit ago. Of course, on my first try I sent it to Mary and Liz. I bet they were more than a little confused ( Read more... ) -
I'm back. Mostly
We solved one issue in our lives. The laptop died in July and there's simply no funds to replace it. We are still trying to catch up with the must-bills (like property taxes and such). Catching up after all the theft in the household and the unexpected trip back east. Oy. I found myself turning to retail therapy. Buying stuff when there is no money ( Read more... ) -
etsy
These days on etsy makes me feel like when eBay was new. Only better. I commented that my sales have exploded lately, which is cool. What is cooler is that my sales seem to be relationships, more often than not. Some people just buy something and go away. Others are more like the one I'm thinking of now. She bought a drop spindle about a month ago ( Read more... ) -
Etsy
Something happened in Etsy this month. I don't know why or how, but my store has taken off. I have been averaging one thing a month for most of a year. This month I have sold a bunch of things. To elaborate, "things" this month has been three drop spindles, two lucets, a rosary and another spindle today. In just October. On the one hand, I'm ( Read more... ) -
finally able to share my thoughts
I have been having the darnedest time getting onto LJ now that my mind is finally flowing. Watching my grandson grow has been such a blessing. Truth is (as has been pointed out) that we were/are overwhelmed with raising the boy. And it has been good for us. We have had to reach out and ask for help. Okay, *I* have. Me. Vicki. That was a tough ( Read more... ) -
"Gramma" found her ring!
I lost my wedding ring a couple of weeks ago. When I was in the middle of being really sick. I've cried myself to sleep just about every night since. Today, Jesse helped me tear apart my bedroom to look for it. On a whim, she checked the little jewelry box on top of the TV next to my bed. About 12 inches from my head. The same box Jamie checked at ( Read more... ) -
what to say, what to do?
I miss lj. I have so much to say, so many things to explore and commemorate. Yet, I seem to always be too tired to type, or (like today) I have no clue where to start or what to say. I could do like my husband and use my journal as s daykeeper, with simple explanations of the day's activities. No. No, I couldn't. That isn't me and it isn't how I ( Read more... ) -
Mars/Venus
We had a real Mars/Venus communication failure over here. For weeks (at least one) I have been asking (nagging) Jamie to clean the kitchen. It is filthy and I can't stand it, but it isn't my mess and it is a little beyond my current capabilities to do it. And he has been ignoring me. I brought up the topic (started a fight) last night. During the ( Read more... ) -
RIP Frododo the klepto kitty
If you have met our little Frodo cat, please say a little prayer for him tomorrow. I will be taking him to the vet so he can cross over with a little dignity. It's time. It sucks. But with all things you love, there's some pain. If you're blessed, the pain comes at death and not before ( Read more... ) -
Grandma story (another one)
I was asleep on the couch and making some interesting snuffly noises when I breathed. It was getting close to Mayse's nap time. We always know because he grabs his blankie and stuff his middle two fingers in his mouth. (Kind of a hang loose thing.) Anyway, my snoring (I meand snuffling) really intrigued Mayson so Scott explained how I was taking a ( Read more... )
