This requires dedication. effort, and a willingness to start again when necessary. Value yourself! Don't waste time on trivial... Sign in to see full entry.

One Of My Coolest Purchases In A Very Long Time!

I am always looking for ways to cut the cleaning down time wise. The solution I use for dusting lasts a month. However there are items it isn't practical to use on. Enter today's new item. It's a fluffy, almost feather duster quality, made of lambs wool and picks up dust. As I've said in the past my... Sign in to see full entry.

Fun Day Shopping For Baby Clothes!

Jessica washed the baby clothes and I folded and sorted by age. We had a lot of newborn onesies but no pants. There weren't any play and sleep outfits as well. We bought three pants and three play and sleep today. If the baby is more than eight pounds we've wasted a lot of money, lol. It's been many... Sign in to see full entry.

A Crazy Conundrum For Me!

This morning I was making my concoction of appple cider vinegar infused rosemary, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and honey. I was at the end of the honey so I had the bottle turned upside down inside a measuring cup. When I unscrewed the cap it was loaded with tiny ants. No idea... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Book!

I suppose I would have been fine to look at the last draft update. It is actually coming together nicely. I just had a few concerns that are easily resolved. I had to change out a picture and send another one with more pixels. It was coming up a bit stretched. I wasn't happy with a presentation of... Sign in to see full entry.

Crazy Quiet Day For Me.

I waited in anticipation of getting a call by 11 a.m. from my daughter. Her glucose test was today. The testing took longer than she thought it would; she was at the hospital until 1 p.m. She didn't get the results yet. I know she's worried and it can be serious if she's diagnosed with gestational... Sign in to see full entry.

Central Oregon Is On Fire And Southern Idaho is Suffering! Suffer

The smoke from fires in Oregon is hitting my area pretty hard. Although it was not the extent of the smoke in the East, it's still bad. The air quality was at 111 today. My son-in-law wanted to mow my lawn but everyone was encouraged to stay inside and turn on air purifiers if they had them. I know... Sign in to see full entry.

Relaxing Saturday, Very Enjoyable!

I just want my pieces to have tabs and blanks lol. Tabs are the parts that stick out blanks are where the tabs go. The little man... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day Of Cleaning! It's Finally Completed!

Jessica had a color today so I stayed home. I didn't get all my cleaning done last weekend because there are so many items to dust. I have another 20 pieces of wood furniture that needs a healthy dose of oil to keep them in good shape. This blog is going to be a pictorial. My den/sports room is one... Sign in to see full entry.

Update On My Book!

I finished the changes to my poetry book today. If they follow my last instructions the book is done all the way around. The gal that promised to do the work really isn't doing the work as she said because other names keep getting attached to the email changes and other suggestions on their part. At...
