Being on the road made it next to impossible to try to follow any sort of diet or exercise plan. We didn’t touch our bikes for weeks at a stretch. Forget counting Points for food – eating out for every meal made that next to impossible. The consequence of all of this (combined with both [...]
Last night was the monthly craft night. I packed up the sweater I’m knitting and joined a rather noisy crowd at the house of the woman who has been teaching me to knit. Since she is also the one who is currently fostering a set of kittens, it also became my chance to get a [...]
Last Sunday, when Richard carefully parted the branches and leaves to look, he saw an egg.
Today I stretched as tall as I could on tiptoe in the soggy grass and peered through the foilage to see something fuzzy. As I watched, it raised its head and opened the tiniest little yellow beak.
Momma did [...]
I’ve been a bit cautious about saying this, if only because I have had high hopes for a job before, only to have them blown to bits once reality actually set in (*cough* Benthic Creatures *cough* Big Fish *cough*). But at this point, five weeks into it, I think it’s safe to say that the [...]
I’ve seen these in other journals and while sometimes the questions intrigued me, I never managed to get around to doing one. But this one got me thinking enough to actually write an entry. So here you are. My very first Friday Five. I doubt this will become a regular event, but who knows.

I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep lately. It’s not that I’ve had a lot to do. No, the reason is simply because this weekend is the weekend of the May Faire in our little town, and we happen to live close enough to the fairgrounds that we could hear probably more than we waned [...]
As I was frantically sending out emails to my older sister and my brother-in-law this past week, and poking Richard to do the same with his sisters, I noted that there were times when I wished that some of us lived farther away from our parents than we do. Not that I don’t like spending [...]
One of our latest Netflix offerings was The Toy That Saved Christmas – another Veggie Tales show (because we are having far too much fun with the hilarity that is talking vegetables). Sunday I mentioned that we had the DVD to my parents and somehow this turned into a movie swap, since they have now [...]
There are plusses and minuses to working in a tiny office. For example, one benefit is that there are no vending machines, and now that the bag of tootsie rolls in the kitchen has been depleted, this means that unless I want to chew coffee grounds, I am reduced to sucking down water in the [...]
It’s been a crazy kind of week, all building up to this weekend. My little sister flew down today with her daughter (her husband is off at a wedding), and so I�ve been trying to figure out how to fit in time to see them in between work and everything else.
The ‘everything else’, for [...]
