Well, there’s nothing like the concept of ‘moving’ to light a fire under my butt. I actually managed to ‘tick one of the boxes’ on my list today and finally got around to staining our cedar gate and fence. And that isn’t all. The one job that I have resisted tackling because it’s so vast,Continue reading “June 12, 2021 – No longer ‘on the fence’.”

June 10, 2021 – Marital Discord
Sigh. I think jumping onto this ‘moving’ train may not have been a good idea. It seems like we’ve been at each other’s throats ever since we both got on board. Whenever I get revved up about anything, he seems to put on the brakes, and vice versa. The only thing we’ve been in agreementContinue reading “June 10, 2021 – Marital Discord”
June 2, 2021 – Somewhere in the middle.
Have you ever noticed that there are certain people who (when you spend time around them) make you feel better about yourself? Whereas, alternatively, there are other people who make you feel far worse (when you hang out together)? In high school, I had two different, close friends, both with the name ‘Julie’. They wereContinue reading “June 2, 2021 – Somewhere in the middle.”
May 29, 2021 – Pinball Machine
Wow! Yesterday was a real humdinger! I spent the majority of it haphazardly running from one room in my house to the next, ping-ping-ping, just like one of those metal balls in a Pinball machine, trying to gather up bits of ‘this and that’ to take along on my trip. I think I ended upContinue reading “May 29, 2021 – Pinball Machine”
May 27, 2021 – Communication Breakdown
I realized that I missed out on a few key phrases the other day when I talked about ‘the number three’ so I feel it’s necessary to mention them before I move on to the next topic. Primarily, three key phrases came to mind (after I published my blog-of-the-day). The first is ‘Three sheets in/toContinue reading “May 27, 2021 – Communication Breakdown”
May 9, 2021 – Things I Ponder
Each day, things come to my attention that I cannot help but wonder about. Why am I the way I am and is there any hope for me? Why were spiders created and why do they torment me so? Will I ever figure out what I want from life or will it forever elude me?Continue reading “May 9, 2021 – Things I Ponder”
April 21, 2021 – Boating Adventures
Life is full of surprises. My husband and I bought our first boat in 2015. Boy, did we get fleeced! It’s not the first time we’ve been taken advantage of because we didn’t do our homework and were totally unprepared. With most purchases, especially the ‘big ones’, I research the hell out of them beforeContinue reading “April 21, 2021 – Boating Adventures”
April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.
As much as I enjoyed dancing to C+C Music Factory back in the day, this post is completely unrelated to their hit song. It’s also not about my brother Turtle and how he turned my Hawaiian family vacation (with my husband and children) on its head. I had every intent on writing about it becauseContinue reading “April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.”
January 5, 2021 – Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
Hope is a funny thing. It can come rushing towards you, lift you up and carry you around as if you were weightless (kind of like what happens during a football game when a player scores a winning touchdown with only 2 seconds left on the clock and his teammates lift him up onto theirContinue reading “January 5, 2021 – Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.”
December 22, 2020 – Redemption comes in many forms.
When I was eight years old, a new man entered my life. He came with the title of ‘stepdad’. I’ve shared a bit about our relationship in past posts, primarily in ‘One person can make all of the difference, Parts I and II’. His name was ‘Larry’ and he died at the age of 79,Continue reading “December 22, 2020 – Redemption comes in many forms.”
