Sorry for the absence. It’s tax season and that means more hours at work for me. It’s not the 70+ hours, I used to put in when I was full-time, but still more hours than normal. I’m not complaining. More hours allow me to pay off more debt and move closer to my dream. What’s [...]

Serene Sunday

I know I’ve said it a few times on this blog, but I try not to drive on Sundays. Well, thanks to the beautiful snow storm that rolled in Friday night and stayed through Saturday evening, yesterday was also a no-drive day for us. Since we were pretty much stuck in the house all day [...]
Snow Day

This is what we woke up to this morning. This picture above was the sight I saw standing on my front porch looking into my front yard. (Note to self: Next time put shoes on before going outside to take pictures!) My car. My neighbor’s house. My son’s car. The weatherman is forecasting another 6 [...]
Serene Sunday

It was still dark when I woke up this morning and the house was quiet. We all stayed up way too late last night. Unfortunately for me, my internal alarm clock goes off at 6:30am. No matter if I’ve slept for 8 hours or 4. Right now it’s partly cloudy outside. But At least it’s [...]
Serene Sunday

I woke up to the sound of rain hitting my roof and windows. It’s still dark and a gray outside. The weatherman is calling for rain. All day. But that’s okay. It’s nice to be able to curl up in my chair with my blanket, a hot cup of coffee and a warm fuzzy cat [...]
Simply Sunday

I try to keep my Sunday’s as low key as possible. It’s a day I normally spend at home (always a no-drive day for me) with my family. Today I’m working on a friend’s baby shower gift. Here’s my progress so far. For brunch this morning, I baked the Cinnamon Crumble Coffee Cake (recipe courtesy [...]
Happy Birthday Gecko Boy!

Today is Gecko Boy’s 23rd birthday. It’s hard to imagine that it’s been twenty four years since I gave birth to him. So much has happened and yet, it feels like no time has passed. I probably should call him something like Gecko Man. But I like the sound of Gecko Boy better. As a [...]
A little…

Cleaned a little, stitched a little, cooked a little. That’s how my Sunday went. The sky outside was clear and the temperature around 35. I stayed warm and toasty while my cat sat at the window and in her best cat voice invited the ducks swimming in the canal behind our house into our warm [...]
Sore Stitching Fingers

I’ve spent the last three hours attempting to stitch some Christmas ornaments. Twice, I stitched the outline and then realized my stitch count was off. UGH! I would normally just frog the stitches, but the first ornament was stitched 1 over 1 on 32 count and the second was stitched 1 over 1 on 28 [...]
