Resolutions for Both This Weekend and the New Year

January 12th, 2012 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Ongoing Projects

A snowy day!  A blustery, snowy day!  Well, it’s not much snow, but it was a warm December and early January, and some of us will take what we can get.  Though I would also take more snow, please. It is early mid- January, not quite mid-January, but definitely no longer early January.  And that [...]

A Bright Shiny New Monday

July 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Ongoing Projects, Pointless Updates

Things that can make a regular Monday morning seem exciting and new, a break from the ordinary: A) I have on new nail polish!  It looks like this one, but it’s not this one.  Same brand, though.  Orange is my favorite nail polish color, and this is my favorite brand of polish, but they didn’t [...]

On Top of Some Things, and Under Others

August 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Ongoing Projects, What I Did Last Weekend

I had a great weekend- one of those weekends that hit every note.  I love weekends that have the perfect mix of socializing and laziness and productivity, that end with a mostly-clean house and a general feeling of satisfaction.  It has something to do with getting two days off in a row and feeling like [...]

Quarterly Resolutions

April 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, Quarterly Resolutions, Uncategorized

I know!  Neither of us can believe that it’s already April, and one-quarter of 2010 (and 1/40th of this decade) is already over.  Before we know it, it will be 2013 and we still won’t have repainted the front door.  We are lazy, aren’t we? Stuff I Got Done: Open-ended goals: Well, diet took a [...]

Quarterly Resolutions

January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, Quarterly Resolutions

It’s the beginning of January 2010, and that means Quarterly Resolutions!  I am sucking at these right now, so either I need to step up or I need to back down on what I’m expecting out of myself.  I gave myself this last weekend to finish up stuff for the quarter Stuff I Got Done: [...]

Home from Branson and Busy Busy

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

It has been a busy week, but then it is always busy getting back to business when you’re out of town, isn’t it?  I feel like I have a stack of things to do, but I am getting through things.  One of the items on the list is posting to all the blogs.  I put [...]

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

September 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects

Tomorrow is the last day of September, and the end of the 3rd Quarter of 2009.  What does that mean?  Why, it means I need to finish up my Quarterly Resolutions!  Specifically, the one I’m hung up on reads something like, “Finish working on the house.”  It’s a huge goal, and I’m well aware of [...]

Project Updates & The Real Beginning of Autumn

September 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Ongoing Projects, Photography, What I Did Last Weekend

Well, now it’s actually fall, even though everyone thinks fall begins over Labor Day weekend, and starts pretending it is fall when the kids in this area go back to school in mid-August. AND it’s been one of the coolest summers ever, according to this article in yesterday’s Columbia Tribune.  The ninth coolest for Columbia [...]

Infectious!

September 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, What I Did Last Weekend

So it turns out that I did have strep throat.  The nurse called yesterday and was extremely confusing until I made her spell everything out for me (after she confirmed that, yes, she was talking to the right patient).  What she was trying to tell me was that the results I got on Thursday were [...]

Nah, I’m Not Going to Nebraska

September 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Ongoing Projects, Travel

Well, that didn’t take long, did it, that about-face? Somewhere between the making of half-a-dozen lists yesterday and stopping by the library to see if they had Springsteen’s Nebraska album (I mean, what would be better road music for Nebraska than that?), I started to get really unmotivated by the whole experience, and wishing that [...]
