As I sit in a place of acceptance today, I realize that I literally just went through the five stages of grief. In the last 5 days, I have experienced every stage. Denial. Been there. Anger. Done that. Bargaining. Yep. Depression. You better believe it. Acceptance. Uh-huh. You would think a special person or petContinue reading “March 3 , 2021 – The Five Stages of Grief”

February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.
I thought a great deal about what I wrote yesterday and how much the situation really riled me. I’ve lost two solid days allowing it to consume me, and for what??!! Yes, anytime I am ‘surprised’ by an unexpected bill, I get a little worked up. I hate to admit it, but that’s not theContinue reading “February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.”
February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.
If you’re ever bored one day and want to ‘liven things up’, take a drive over to your nearest thrift shop. Thrift shops serve as veritable dumping grounds for unwanted ‘stuff’. I go as a means of entertainment but I also go with the hope that I can find yet another interesting mug to addContinue reading “February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.”
February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon
Humankind must have done something right for bacon to be introduced to our palates. To me, it’s as close to Heaven as one can get while alive (that’s if you disqualify chocolate). Bacon makes everything better. It turns a boring breakfast into a brilliant breakfast. It turns the best burger into the best ever burger.Continue reading “February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon”
February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips
When I was a child, whenever my mom brought me along on a trip, we always stayed in the cheapest hotel or motel available. More often than not, that meant a Motel 6. If you want bare bones accommodations and possibly bed bugs, feel free to make a reservation at one of their 1400+ locationsContinue reading “February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips”
February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.
Do you own a used car and it’s still got a little ‘life’ left in it? Do yourself a favor, unless you’re taking it to the shop continuously for repairs, hang onto that gem! Yes, there are serious incentives to purchasing new vehicles. When you drive a new vehicle off the lot, what a rush!Continue reading “February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.”
February 12, 2021 – All Creatures Great and Small
I think I made a terrible mistake! The last two days have gotten so cold that all of the syrup has frozen solid in the hummingbird feeders that I have dispersed throughout my yard. I keep bringing them inside until the syrup turns from a solid to a liquid but it’s below 20 degrees todayContinue reading “February 12, 2021 – All Creatures Great and Small”
February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox
Have you ever considered what key ingredients you would include if you had to write out a recipe for a successful relationship? If I were to do so, the main ingredient would be ‘trust’. I’d also throw in common interests, loyalty and mutual respect, but without ‘trust’, the whole thing’s going to fall apart atContinue reading “February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox”
February 4, 2021 – Finding Your Tribe
People weren’t designed to be isolated. We need other people, now more than ever. Without others, it’s easy to withdraw into ourselves and close ourselves off from the world. We need others for support and assurance but also to keep us ‘in check’. If we don’t have a person (or people) to do that, it’sContinue reading “February 4, 2021 – Finding Your Tribe”
February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding
I’m going to take a stroll down memory lane today and share a bit about my wedding. It took place on a warm summer’s day in June (34 years ago) and came together on a shoestring budget. Many brides-to-be spare no expense for the big day but I’m a practical gal, so whenever there wasContinue reading “February 2, 2021 – Potluck Wedding”
