So I’m suspecting my laptop is on its last legs. It started when Chrome was installed – an occasional blue screen of death. They went from occasional to weekly to daily. I uninstalled Chrome and went from daily occurrences of the BSOD back to occasional occurrences. But they’re slowly increasing in frequency. I’m trying to […]

I splurged yesterday and bought two things that will make my life a whole lot easier while working on the house. The first might be obvious.  I decided that I was making enough trips with the banana box full of leaves and branches that I’d do well to get a garden cart instead.  That will […]

My husband has been working 7 days a week since the last big snow storm came through.  That makes it hard for him to make any progress on the house, so I stepped up.  It’s not that I didn’t know what needed to be done or how to do it, I was leaving it to […]

Pretty much everyone at work is signed up to get emails from the head of the local emergency management agency.  The agency that sends out notices when the weather is foul, or the wind is going in circles and touching the ground. On Friday, I got a kick out of reading his email.  It was […]

Hey, 3 days in a row, anyone shocked yet?  Probably 🙂 I went so long without posting at all. I’ve been looking into Homesteading lately.  Mostly because I’m frustrated with work and would love to be able to get by on just my husband’s income so I could stay home. Though a dear friend has […]

So, late last week, I got a message on Facebook about setting up our 25th class reunion.   They’re planning it a year in advance so everyone can make it. And of course a discussion about drinking and being able to hold your liquor came up. Seriously? Maybe it’s just that I don’t see the […]

So, I obviously haven’t posted much for the last month.  I started clearing out another area of brush, and I have pictures of the before this time.  But the last few weekends have been a bit cold for me to work outside.  So I’ve been inside (we have the windows covered in plastic and a […]

So the drama at home is getting to me.  It’s gotta be something in the air, as someone else is full of drama this week too. Instead, I just want to go on a vacation. But that’s not going to happen. Someone was watching the end of Mission Impossible: 2 today at work, to avoid […]

Today, while my husband was working on fixing some of the ‘headers’ and ‘king studs’ in the house, I was working in the yard.  I picked the biggest pile of branches and leaves to start cutting everything up and clearing it out.  I didn’t get the plastic bin that I had planned, but it appears […]

I’m still not writing as much as I wanted to aim for, but I am writing more than I was… that’s a good thing. Yet tonight, I’m at a loss for words.  How do I even start? I grew up in church, and I have three families from church where I felt like the parents […]
