So, we get from Oklahoma to New York, and the clutch went out. On a Sunday. In the middle of the interstate off ramp. We had to pay for a tow, then a hotel. I walked the .5 miles to the dealership at 7:30 am. They couldn’t look at it until after noon. Total cost […]

I might actually have gotten my hosting moved.  I’ve been trying to get everything done for a week, so we’ll see.  I have until 6/9 to test it out, and then my old hosting is going away.  I’m paranoid that I’m going to lose something with this site.  The rest, they are just simple designs […]

Scrolling through the TV guide tonight, I found the American Chopper reboot. This is one of the few reality shows I used to watch, though I preferred Monster Garage – a bit more fabrication and a bit less drama. I have enough drama in my life without watching pointless drama on TV. Anyway, the Teutuls […]

So, it’s been a while since I posted.  I really try to keep up, but time gets away from me.  So what’s a girl to do? In March, my stepdad died.  This is the man who raised me after my parents got divorced.  He’s been my stepdad my whole life, since he and mom were […]

Now when the subject of gun control comes up, everyone always gets so upset. You hear a lot of ‘they’re coming to take our guns’ etc. That’s not the answer. Those who say that making guns illegal will ensure only criminals have guns. The answer is much simpler. Make more thorough checks when selling guns. […]

https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/thousands-of-texans-have-tried-to-give-selves-171908821.html I swear it seems I know people more than I realize. I guess it just comes from looking at history. I’ve repeatedly told my mother that banning abortions is not a good idea, no matter how much you hate the idea of abortions. Women who would have an abortion are just that desperate, they’ll […]

http://thebloggess.com/2015/09/im-broken-im-furiously-happy-both-of-these-things-are-true/ Both of these are true for me too. I’m broken, a friend’s brother and another friend’s father died, my sister, my cousin & a friend’s 4 year old have been diagnosed with cancer. I’m looking for the things to be furiously happy. I got to visit Vermont, I’m in my house. I’m spending time […]

http://www.onbeing.org/blog/the-disease-of-being-busy/7023?page=1 I can’t remember who linked to the above post, but it resonated. I tend to fill up my time with mindless exercises instead of doing anything that requires thought. Then I wonder why time passes so quickly and what I did a week ago. I have so much I want to do, but I […]

So somehow, sometime, I managed to subscribe to a preppers site on Facebook. It’s got some interesting things that come across my feed as a result. For some of it, I just roll my eyes and scroll past. Like the composting toilet, which is illegal in many areas anyway. Sometimes it posts things that are […]

Get out of the kitchen. But what happens when it’s 100+ outside and you’re trying to work in a house without ac? I think I ended up making myself sick a week ago. I spent the week drinking extra water, and I’m still not feeling 100%. Then again, I haven’t been feeling 100% in a […]
