When I was a girl, we had spring. Weather in the 60s or low 70s (OK, it was upstate NY, so maybe I’m remembering summer.)
Here we always seem to jump from the 50s to the 80s. And apparently this is the week it happens this year. You’re running your heat at the [...]
My coworkers may think I’m a little fanatical at times. Although we have been recycling more and more there, I am still known to pull stuff out of the trash and say, “I’ll just take this home and recycle it.”
Today it was dozens of small paperboard boxes that were no longer needed.
So when I realized [...]
I got a cool new cell phone for my birthday this week. Last time I upgraded I pretended to be a Luddite and refused to get a phone with so much as a camera included.
The new one has a camera. And a full keyboard. And a touchscreen. And Bluetooth.
Even though Kentucky doesn’t have a hands-free [...]
I have a to do list as long as my arm today, which culminates with taking poor BD to the periodontist for a gum graft.
Guess I’d rather have my to do list than hers!
I’m obviously not blogging enough, because my blog has apparently been down for several days and I wasn’t even aware of it till a friend pointed it out to me.

While working our semiannual children’s consignment sale at church last weekend, I noticed a “Clue” board game. It was still in the shrink-wrap.
A couple of weeks ago I read an article about Hasbro updating the game for the 21st century. Now there’s a spa instead of a billiard room. The character formerly [...]
Back in November, our 17 year old stove was almost dead, and we bought a new one.
Back in January, our 14 year old washer died, and we bought a new one.
Yesterday afternoon, I put a load of laundry in the dryer. Several hours later, I realized it was still running. The clothes were dry, but [...]

Once again, I have seen a whopping total of one movie which won an Oscar.
And it won in the animated film category.
Way to, Wall-E!

We don’t own a single television that receives digital signals. We do have cable, so we’ll be able to watch TV after the Big Switch. We also have a little portable that we like to take outside to watch ballgames in the spring and summer, and we’ll be out of luck with that one.
So I [...]

After a week of disruption from the ice/snowstorm, I have to admit that it was nice to get back into a routine today. Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of people who still don’t have power OR a routine.
