Rockin’ My New Do

I don’t have a whole lot to say right now, other than I’m really glad that I got rid of a whole bunch of my hair. It is highlighted blonde and caramel, and razored half to death. It only takes 10 minutes to blow dry it, but if I want it to be straight, it [...]

The weather has cooled off, and I’ve been making an effort to have computer free days–at least after work, anyway! I’ve been spending the time outside working on the yard, riding Sky’s old bike or walking. I’ve got the walking thing down. I bought a backpack, pictured below, that I carry to work with me [...]

Paper Airplanes

I got a note in Sage’s agenda today that informed me that he was “making paper airplanes out of the work” yesterday, and “refused to do the math test” today. Apparently, he has heard me discuss his attention issues too much, because today, the first thing he started talking about was how he couldn’t pay [...]

Dreamcatcher

Last night I was tucking Sage into bed. He reached up, grabbed his dreamcatcher, and proceeded to give it a few good whacks. I asked him what he was doing. “I’m cleaning out the bad dreams so that there will be room for some more,” he said. I didn’t ask where the old ones went. [...]

The Chiminea is Back…with Marshmallows!

The chiminea has been over at G’s house for the past 2 1/2 years. Yesterday, Sky and I got it and put it in the backyard. It feels just like having it new again. I had a photo almost exactly like this on the blog I deleted. I’m still kicking myself for that one. Oh [...]

Ike

Ike just sounds like a bully name, doesn’t it? Anyway, we’re right in his path. Hopefully, he will weaken to a tropical storm before he gets to us, but right now they’re saying we’ll have hurricane force winds. Last time this happened, during Rita, it shut the town down for a week, because we ran [...]

Four More Days

I have to tell you guys that I really appreciate your comments. Such good tips, shared experiences and encouragement! Although yall really do give me too much credit. You see, Emma hit the nail on the head when she said this is indicative of a midlife crisis, even though she was just kidding. The thing [...]

One More Week

There’s one more week of summer left. Next week, Sage and Greg will be in New York, so it will be a strange week. Sky will be here, which I am thankful for. I’ve had enough alone time lately. Sky is moving out soon. He has money saved, and he knows he doesn’t want to [...]

Sellout?

I’ve been researching this “make money online” thing for so long now that I’ve caught on. I came up with a great way to market credit cards and make tons of money. The thing is, I find myself putting off doing certain things that I need to do before I will get any leads. I [...]

Verbage

Check this out. Seriously. Just check this shit out. Crazy, huh? ______________________________________________________________________________ Spent hours yesterday looking at different towns, different countries. Imagined ways I could get rich, pay off house and move out of town. Go back to where friends are, go to where friends can be made. Run, basically. (But not to Flint.) I’m [...]
