One of the reasons I began writing this online journal is because I enjoyed reading others. And throughout the entire time I’ve kept this thing, I’ve continually sought out new reads – adding to my list as often as I can whenever I find someone else I enjoy. What is most important to me is [...]
It has been raining and windy and foggy and pretty much bleh on and off now for the past several days. On the one hand, it’s always nice to get some precipitation in the winter so we’re not subjected to dour threats of drought and water rationing next summer, but on the other hand driving [...]
Like good little (greedy) brides and grooms, we filled out wedding registries before the wedding. Okay, so it was nice to be able to let people know about stuff we wanted, and it was admittedly kind of fun to go around department stores scanning in stuff that we knew we’d never in a million years [...]
Last week started our foray into the world of fresh, organic vegetables delivered right to our door (or at least to my office, where I could then cart them home to our door). It’s something Richard and I toyed with for a while, and finally decided to do. Not because of the organic part (because [...]
Things have been slow at work; slow now for weeks. Occasionally my manager will come over with an urgent project, but those are less than 2 days in duration, and far between.

I had an entry written up at work, and then forgot to email it to myself when I left. So you’ll simply have to settle for this little story instead.
This past Sunday when my older sis and hubby were at church with my nearly 3 1/2 year old nephew, they had the children’s time at [...]
Every year, when my family would drive up to get our Christmas tree, we’d eye all the different varieties and do the traditional ‘what kind of tree did we get last year that we said we liked best?’ It was one of those little factoids that we all swore we’d remember *this* time, and then [...]
I am not a big fan of heights. In fact, heights and I have never been what you might call friends, or even mere acquaintances. Richard can attest to this, considering that the drive up to the ranch takes those horrid twisty mountain roads that have a sheer cliff going up on one side, and [...]
When one is overweight, one does not usually particularly enjoy clothes shopping, because no matter how much you might try to delude yourself about your own weight, those dressing room mirrors – especially the three-way ones – never lie.
But the company’s holiday party is this Friday and my wardrobe – perfect for the rest of [...]
