Regrettably, procrastination might be my middle name. I once again waited until the very last minute to complete my WIP challenge for this month. I only started working on it yesterday when Bill was at work. Last year in my birthday box, Laynie gave me this T-shirt from a conference she attended. White attire and […]
Both boys were out of school today in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. They enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in and laze the day away and I did my best to let them unencumbered by chores “because they were home.” (I make no friends that way.) In the meantime, I worked on the never […]
Good morning from Grogu! Baby Yoda is doing well and thriving at Bill’s office. I hit the ground running today. Most Mondays are red beans and rice days where I’m home all day working on laundry, housekeeping and chores but today I had a 7:30 am appointment. Since I was out already, I piggybacked some […]
We celebrated Epiphany with sunshine in these parts, a welcome gift from the heavens. Sunshine, however, was not the only reason to celebrate. Monique and I made a decision years ago to have our kiddos exchange their Christmas gifts on the Feast of The Three Kings. It’s a wonderful tradition that alleviates a lot of […]
It was a Monday around here. Despite the fact that it was our first day back after a good long vacation break, we all made it out the door on time in a calm manner. I felt incredibly industrious and as the house began to settle for the first time in a few weeks, I […]
Since we went to mass last night, this morning had a very relaxed feel. We didn’t have to rush around and the boys made no effort to rise early. That will happen soon enough when they go back to school tomorrow. Bill and I took a walk early in the day and dropped off a […]
Let’s start with a little update on the knitting. I’m up to day 14 and getting ready to start working the back panel. I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen today. It’s not that I was cooking all day but I did do a bit of that. I like to wrap the […]
Upon returning from my morning errands, I noticed a little box on the doorstep. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the return address. My new phone arrived early and without a required signature. I waited until everyone was home and unboxed it with them after dinner. Apple does a beautiful job with its […]
I got up early and went for a brisk walk outside. I listened to my podcasts and said a morning rosary. Then I headed to Starbucks. I mobile ordered my coffee so I could avoid the long drive-thru line and when I picked it up, I was treated to a delightful surprise: nonfat foam! I […]
Today was just a run of the mill Saturday but we did get two very nice deliveries to the house. First, Bill’s sister sent him a big birthday assortment of flavored coffees. He will be set for quite some time. We also got our weekly shipment of Misfits produce. I ordered specialty mushrooms and one […]
