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...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/868733Above is the car I've been driving for the last 14 years, below is the car I got today:)https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/868710Gonna 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.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/867783Ouch, 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....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/867599When 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...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/866472It'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...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/866439So 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...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/865242Last 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...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/863758I 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:)https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/calia14/863599I 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...
