Ten on Tuesday

Here you go, the ten photos I meant to post two weeks ago for my Ten on Tuesday. Just a few of my favorites from the first few days of our trip to Michigan. 1. The upside to driving to Michigan? Spectacular sunsets in the Mohawk Valley. 2. Tom made himself right at home, dragging [...]

Ten on Tuesday

It’s really on Tuesday this time. For serious. I’m not sure why I continue to eat Quaker’s Weight Control instant oatmeal. The faux sweeteners are not very tasty, even if the flavors are. I think I’d rather add my own sugar. Still hoping that Dad will be home by the time we visit. Even if [...]

Ten on Tuesday (on Thursday)

This week has gone by in a blur. Life is speeding by so fast that Tuesday completely passed me by without a second glance. And it’s not even that my days are jam-packed, just that they’re over before I realize it. That’s how you get ten of my random thoughts on a Thursday instead of [...]

Where the Heart Is

When I made this card last weekend, I had no idea just how much my mind would be in Michigan this week. After a brief stay in the hospital last week for shortness of breath and chest pain, my father went back again yesterday. This time his doctors will be keeping him for at least [...]

Etsy Favorites: For Little Liz

Meet my adorable niece, Elizabeth: Look at those smooshy little cheecks. Absolutely adorable. And she’s already four weeks old. I haven’t mailed her baby gift, but I keep adding to the list of things I’d like to give her. Including all of these lovely things on Etsy. Donkeys in Wellies by ScarletFig Crochet Dream Catcher [...]

Ten on Tuesday

I have a minor head cold. Not bad enough to medicate, but just enough to make me sniffle. My dad is officially a bionic man. He had a mini defibrillator installed inserted today to keep him on the straight and narrow. And it sounds like open heart surgery won’t be necessary in the near future, [...]

The Final Countdown

Two weeks to go. It feels like a lot of time and yet not nearly enough. There are just so many things I want to get set up and even more that I need to wrap up before the spawn turns my life upside down. Find a Place to Live. I’ve been hunting for a [...]

Quick Update

Back from a great vacation in Michigan. Saw a lot of family, ate loads of diner food, and did plenty of relaxing. The drive was not nearly as bad as I had feared, although another hour’s delay would’ve made it necessary to stop somewhere in the middle. Started a new job today at PC Connection. [...]

Five on Friday for April 18, 2008

Music to My Ears 1. How often do you listen to music? I listen to music when I wake up every morning and in the car on the way to and from work. So, three times a day, for 30-45 minutes at a time. I also try to use my iPod when I’m crafting or [...]

The Little Things

Today, it’s the little things that are making me happy: The warm bed I woke up in after weeks of chilly mornings. And as a bonus, seeing sleeping husband snuggled up with a very purry cat. Pants that are exactly the right length because I thought to take them to a tailor. Having my card [...]
