What I’ve Been Up To!
By · 35 Comments
I started a project last week when the hubby left on his trip. I had planned this for months. All the time I was in Ohio helping out with his family stuff I was thinking "I really need to get my house organized". I think it was because the house there was in such a cluttered state. It drove me crazy and until I could get a handle on it I was crazy!!! I vowed that when I got back "home" I would get my act together. And so it started. First I attacked the pantry. My friend, … [Read more...]

My friend, Brenda Youngerman, nominated me for an award!!! Woo hoo! I have been very tardy in acknowledging this and doing the "requirements" but I am finally going to do it!!! Yippee!!! Brenda is a fabulous writer and has 7 books under her belt. The neat thing about her books is that they have a deeper meaning---as she puts it they are Fiction with a Purpose. I have read half of them so far and look forward to finishing up the series when I get a bit of time!!! Click on that link … [Read more...]

I Have Been Lax
By · 34 Comments
I have a dilemma and I need to figure out how to address it. A few weeks ago I was almost famous. Remember? The guessing who could guess when The Idiot was going to reach 2 million views? I blogged about it here if you missed it the first time around. I was sure that I could handle all the fame that would come my way if I won. But I am finding out that maybe I am not cut out for that life. One of the things that bloggers do sometimes is give each other "awards" of sorts. I have … [Read more...]

We live in a funny world. I don't know if you have noticed that but I sure have. Over the weekend Chris and I spent the night at our favorite Westin in Edina. Chris was to take a flight out of Minneapolis and we like to stay there when he has an early morning flight or an overseas flight. It was our belated Valentine's celebration---like we need a reason to celebrate!! He had just finished a couple days of meetings sitting in uncomfortable plastic chairs and had kind of tweaked his … [Read more...]

Teapot Tuesday
By · 19 Comments
Teapot Tuesday features a teeny little teapot that my sweet niece, Rebekah, brought back from England for me. It is tiny and not one that you could brew much more than a thimble of tea in but it is so adorable! She studied at Chichester for a semester and this was one of the things that she brought home with her after her semester abroad! … [Read more...]

To Think it All Started With a Words With Friends Word
By · 37 Comments
Warning----this post may not be one you want to read ---it will deal with human waste so please be forewarned. Chris and I were lounging in bed the other morning. I had about a zillion Words with Friends games to play. No kidding. I am a little out of control on that right now. I figure it is a brain exercise so it is a good thing to do but it is a little stressful when i see that I have 15 plays to make. Yikes!!! So I was trying to use my letters and put in a word that I thought … [Read more...]
