New Year’s Resolution?

It is that time of year when people set lofty goals for the new year…and most end in failure.  I am asking myself now if I’m up for that particular type of torture.  Having survived several recent goal failures, I have to say that I’m not really aiming for the whole ‘resolution’ this year.  I do [...]

Merry Christmas!

To all of my friends, I wish you a wonderful Christmas.  I was sitting on the floor in my living room earlier today looking through photos.  I was supposed to be dusting, but anyone who knows me also knows my mind wanders from the task at hand easily.  Anyhow, I was taking a trip down [...]

Aaaaahhhh!!!!

Tension releaser.  Had to be done.  As you may have noted, I’ve not exactly been the best blogger.  Hit and miss has always been my style…blogging and otherwise.  I’d like to say that life has gotten in my way, but that would be a lie.  Health issues and complete and utter laziness would top the [...]

My kids

I’ve met several friends online over the past few years and I’m always asked about my kids.  Well, today I found two Calvin comics that fit their personalities to a T and convey the love and respect that they hold for Stephen and I as parents. (please make sure to read that with as much [...]

One year ago…

My long, desperate search for a publisher to accept my very first manuscript finally came to fruition one year ago.  This was the day last year that Another Time, Another Place hit the printing press.  Now, a whole new world of headaches and problems opened up with this step, but it was the threshhold to making my long held dreams [...]

Too much time on my hands…

This is what happens when I’m unable to do housework (it was fun at first, but not so much anymore) and my muse has run off with another writer.  My wonderful, hardworking husband sat down today to make a game for our employees (we own a small commercial cleaning company) at their Christmas party.  He began [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!

Yes, he told me not to do this.  No, obviously I didn’t listen…like that should surprise anyone who reads this.  I won’t say how old he is, but dirt aint got nothin’ on MY man anymore!   I know that I have NO room to talk since I’m older, so no nasty replies Leese!  [...]

Yay, I got it up!

Oh, no-no fluffy!  Not that!  I’m talking about some of my Christmas decorations.  I’ve been semi out of commission, so I didn’t go all out, but I am calling it done.  I have my small tree put up with all my silver decorations (even picked up my favorite Life Saver candy canes tonight and added [...]

Ice Storm Update

Well, we retained our power and dodged the main weather bullet this time.  The poor people just to the north and west of us weren’t quite so lucky.  Earlier this year, in January I think, we had power outages that lasted for two weeks, so I have to admit that I was sweating (okay, not [...]
