I’ve been having issues with work. I did end up back mostly in the job I had back in January when we were told that our jobs were moving. However, it was a long circuitous route, and it took about 6 months for that end result. In the meantime, since I suffer from depression, that’s […]

So, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my crochet projects lately. I’ve actually had to repeat the same projects over and over, since I have a bunch of people I want to make them for lol. I’ve got dishcloths going, and towels with crocheted toppers. I’m actually focusing on being able to […]

Someone told me the other day that I take too much on myself. I’ve been told the same before, and I know it’s right – I started to say suspect, but I have a dear friend I could see rolling their eyes at me saying that it might not be correct. That’s a good reason […]

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 […]

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 […]

I honestly can’t think of a title tonight.  It’s been a rough few months, and I’m just at a loss. It’s great that we have a house and will have it paid off by August.  That was one of my dreams, to own a house free and clear.  A dear friend of mine said it […]

Ahh yea, so I closed last time saying I’d go into the HUSSC, but never did so, didn’t I? It’s been in the news that the USDA, or rather the branch of the USDA that is the Food and Nutrition Services (aka FNS) developed new guidelines for school lunches.  The lunches are divided into calorie […]

Last year, a dear friend of mine died of cancer.  Today would have been her birthday. In honor of her memory, I want to share a quote: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” ~Mary Anne Radmacher This was one […]

Rereading what I wrote last time, I meant that I laughed at the video because I could put myself in the place of the ones at the marriage ceremony that were getting attacked.  I was laughing at myself more than anyone else. I’ve been thinking about my father a lot today.  One of my cousins […]
