On my 'commute' to the coffeemaker this morning, I reminisced about the time I recently spent with my daughter. She had come over to assist me with my business and we worked side-by-side to make a dent in my overwhelmed-ness. We calmly spent several hours getting some organization to my chaos, laughing at some silliness,... Continue Reading →
Misdirected Deliveries – Who Fixes This Mess?
I have a friend who erroneously received a delivery of a product from a business she worked at years ago. The closest we can come up with is that the business ordered this product from one of those big box stores, but didn't change her name as the contact person on the purchase order, so...

“…And Lead Us Not Into Temptation…”
As I pondered this topic this morning, I had to smile at the fact that I had originally spelled the word 'temptations', you know, plurally. I was mulling over several of the ways I have been tempted recently and whether I had given in. I'm afraid that the answer to that last part is yes,... Continue Reading →
Why Do You Blog?
I was asked that question yesterday, by someone who doesn't understand my need to write, and I have been pondering the question ever since. Why here, why now? Well, why not? Here I get to organize my thoughts, figure out what's bugging me or what I'm joyous about, or write about something that amuses me.... Continue Reading →
Getting Sucked Into Social Media
Well here I am this morning, my morning prayer and meditation gone for a few minutes because I picked up my phone instead of my Bible. Having typed that, I'm back now after giving thanks for another day and thanking Him for my many blessings, one of which is internet technology. Yes, I said it,... Continue Reading →
Extra Funds In My Budget? No, Not Me!
Yay for free water! It rained a hard rain for about an hour overnight so my garden and lawn are happy, and so is my bank account (sorry, not sorry, water bill from the City of Duncan), according to my rain gauge, of which I just discovered has the beginnings of a crack in the... Continue Reading →
185 Shopping Days Until Christmas
It's getting to be that time of year again, you know the one where stores want to remind you of how few shopping days you have until Christmas (today there are only 185 left). They all proclaim that you can save XX% if you buy now. I guess they are not prepared for shoppers like... Continue Reading →
Being Alone Does Not Equal Loneliness
I could be a hermit. Well, maybe not; I think the term for a female is hermitess. Yes, I could be one of those. The dictionary defines a hermit as one who is a loner who embraces solitude and lives in isolation. This describes me. I totally enjoy my own company and have no problem... Continue Reading →
Dessert Hotdogs – Hail or Fail?
I made dessert hot dogs. I used Twinkies for the buns and Twix bars for the hot dogs. I dyed white frosting with red and yellow gel food coloring, then piped squiggly lines on the the 'hot dogs' for the ketchup and mustard, and then chopped up a vanilla Kit Kat bar for the onions....

Quitting, No, Postponing My Agendas
This morning's coffee brings thoughts of quitting. It seems that when life happens as life does, things that seemed so important at the time have to be put on hold to deal with that moment when life stands up and says, "Slow Down!" So what does that mean to me this morning. No, not a... Continue Reading →
