Tribute to a Great Woman

I wanted to take a minute to pay tribute to my next door neighbor of almost twenty years. She was a strong German woman that came over during WWII, when she was in her twenties. She moved into the house I grew up across the street from in 1956, about 30 years before my mother and I moved into our... Sign in to see full entry.

That New Car Smell

Gonna be going to look at some cars today:) I have my eye on an Eclipse convertible and a Mitsubishi Lancer. the Eclipse convertible is dreamy and inexpensive (and used), but the Lancer is sturdy and brand new. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Sign in to see full entry.

Oy, Rough Patch

Ouch, so my car of 14 years broke down and is having difficulties. At least we got a pro over here today to tell us the probo. My husband's car has been broke down for a few weeks. Thankfully, our friend let us borrow her car for the time being, but that one has issues, too, so its kinda scary. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Why I Don't Get Mad When People "Talk Trash"

When I was younger, I used to get mad about people "talking trash" about me. Even talking about me in any way while I wasn't around was cause for suspicion and possible anger. I don't know when my thoughts on the matter began to change, but change they did. I know I'd already sort of had the... Sign in to see full entry.

Strangely Serene

It's days like this that throw me off. After my rant last night I did a little bit of work (wrote a page for a senior care website) and then slept a few hours. I woke up and finished up all my work by late afternoon. Then I took a long nap and my husband woke me in time to have a bunch of friends... Sign in to see full entry.

Mad and Wide Awake-Venting Rant

So its 4:30 in the morning and here I am stewing. I was having a pretty good time with my husband tonight, though still with the general distance, no real affection or tenderness to speak of for a while now just basically amicable. I said I was going to make tuna on salad for dinner and he said he'd... Sign in to see full entry.

Fun Night of Cooking

Last night was a lot of fun. A few friends came over and we cooked up stuffed artichokes and pierogies. Everybody put in their own little hand and it made for a tasty dish. I pretty much just made the stuffed artichokes, but then my friend directed the pierogie making. She made the dough and cut off... Sign in to see full entry.

Waking Up

I love it when I wake up a little earlier than I need to and I can lay there and just relax and drift for a few minutes. Savoring those sleepy, comfortable moments like a sweet lozenge:) Sign in to see full entry.

Que Sera

I haven't had much time to get on here with my husband home for the last few weeks. As I said in a previous post, he hurt his hand pretty badly at work has been receiving workers comp for a bit. We've been getting along fine, but things are still pretty weird. I feel kinda like I'm in a roommate... Sign in to see full entry.
