Why I Haven’t Been Blogging

Two part-time jobs
A week of camping
Rearranging all three bedrooms as BD moves into HS’s old digs
Chiropractor visits as I seek relief for my neck and shoulder pain
Doing volunteer work for a couple of organizations
Trying to keep physical and spiritual conditioning (i.e., exercise & Bible study)
Spending too much time on Facebook.

Things I’ve Never Done

Saw this at Busy Mom’s and had to give it a try.  Here, in no particular order, are 10 things I’ve never done that many people have.

I’ve never had a pedicure.
I’ve never been to a casino.
I’ve never seen a Die Hard movie.
I’ve never eaten lobster.
I’ve never seen a single episode of “Survivor” (actually, I could  [...]

I Want a Refund

This weekend I’m off to a bridal shower for LDIL and HS. Wanting to look my best, my hair is freshly colored.
Except for the roots that frame my face. Some of those got missed somehow, so I’m going to have to have a word with my hairdresser.
Yup, I’m going to go stand in [...]

Year in Review

It’s time for my annual “Year in Review,” when I treat readers to the first line of the first post of each month.  I even provide a link, hoping to entice you to check out the entire post.  I think you’ll find it painfully evident that I completely forget that this post is coming when [...]

Thanksgiving May Come After All

As of this afternoon, I was seriously afraid that I would have to cancel Thanksgiving.
It’s not that I don’t have plenty to be thankful for.
It’s just that I had already been to three stores and had not been able to find any Pepperidge Farm Cornbread Stuffing.  I was beginning to think that I would have [...]

My New Alternative Lifestyle

The achy shoulder, stiff neck and arm tingling are still with me after physical therapy, an injection and too much talk of surgery. An MRI revealed no problems with the rotator cuff, thank goodness.
I would really rather avoid surgery, so I’ve decided to try a chiropractor before resorting to that.  It’s my first foray into [...]

Upping My Cool Factor

Even though a friend or two have been strongly encouraging me for some time, I did not sign up for Facebook.  Mostly because HS asked me not to, since his presence there is for a “different audience,” as he put it.
But somehow the nudges felt stronger last week, and I went ahead and opened an [...]

Wordless Wednesday – My New Computer Digs!

Nablopomo

OK, I’ve decided to give nablopomo a shot this year.  For the uninitiated among you, that stands for National Blog Posting Month.  I’ve even put a little badge down at the bottom of my sidebar (mostly because I don’t know how to move it to the top!).  It means that I am aiming to post [...]

Ancient of Days

It was bad enough when I learned that one of BD’s current teachers had gone to high school with HS.  At least she was two years ahead of him in school.
Then I got to chatting with teacher who helps coach  BD’s field hockey team.  She, too, knows HS.
Because he went to school with her sister.  [...]
