I am helping friends with their estate sale this weekend, which will be today and tomorrow, with the final day being Sunday. Today was the first day, which history has shown to be totally crazy. People came in waves; we did well on this "perfect-weather-for-a-sale" Friday. We were all dragging by 3 p.m. and all... Continue Reading →
Budgeting: Dollars Vs. Carbs
I have been working a program for over six months now and am doing very well with the one I've chosen. I'll find out just how well it is by the upcoming lab work, but I've gone down almost five sizes so far. Having said that, I've been in accounting for most of my adult... Continue Reading →
Sometimes You Just Have to Walk Away
In the midst of our constant remodeling ideas, Hubbin was entertaining the idea of creating a custom built-in dresser system on one side of our walk-in closet. The weeds of it were the inches, the allowance for drawer pulls, the type of fronts the drawers would have, etc., etc., etc. The discussion got heated when... Continue Reading →
My Ever-Present Agenda
I have a task list that is ongoing, meaning that I keep it in a binder and when I think of things I want (or need) to accomplish, I jot them down. Sometimes there will be an actual deadline or sometimes it's self-imposed, but in any case, if it's logged into the 'book', it will... Continue Reading →
Getting Through It (Hubbin’s Cancer)
People have said to me (many times) that Hubbin's cancer and subsequent treatment options are his road, his path, and that I should not take it so personally. I strongly disagree but having said that, I realize that's just me and how I am. I do tend to take things personally, especially if they affect... Continue Reading →
There’s This Woman I Know…
Yes, it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but today I was thinking about the many awesome women I have met over the years, both family and friends, the ones who have touched my world and made it a better place. The list is a long one. Some of the names on that list... Continue Reading →
A Sunday Kind of Love
For some reason, that song came to mind today, and as I looked up the lyrics, I also contemplated what that statement meant to me. The song (in part) goes, "I want a Sunday kind of love, a love to last, past Saturday night..." Today as Hubbin and I go through the motions of carrying... Continue Reading →
The Chiefs, the Eagles, and Super Bowl Sunday
Going to brag a bit, even if it jinxes me. I have accurately predicted the Super Bowl winner nineteen times out of the last twenty-three Super Bowls.
Things I Never Thought I’d Say
I have been subbing (substitute teaching) for the local school district for about a month now, and these "Littles" keep it real! I've said things I never thought I would say, especially since I'm not around my own children and their littles any longer. There's the ever-present "Use your indoor voices, please," "No eating the... Continue Reading →
Groundhog Day, the Cardinals are back!
It seems that this morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and just as I was receiving this announcement, I happened to be opening up my house for the day, flinging open curtains and such. And guess what? Right outside my window, sitting on my fence, was the first cardinal I have seen this year! I... Continue Reading →
