An Uncluttered House Equals An Uncluttered Mind

Aug 29

Or is it the other way round? Seems to work both ways for me, but this week, I am especially noticing the correlation between the uncluttered house and the surge of productivity I’ve experienced the last two days. Since the house fire last year, cleaning the house is not nearly the chore it used to be (and I would hope not! We don’t have NEAR the...

Hold On My Child, Joy Comes In the Morning

Aug 24

Any of you out there who enjoy Bill Gaither’s music will recognize that title. What’s it got to do with this post? Well…lots for me…we’ll see if I can articulate anything intelligible for you. I spent my growing up years singing in the children’s, then the chancel choir in church. Mom was the church organist, and also L-O-V-E-D...

Old Friend Can’t Return Phone Calls

Aug 22

Ok, he said Saturday afternoon, “I’ll call you.” Hmmm….maybe I should’ve asked, “When?” Called HIM Monday night, no answer, no return call. Oy. If he’s scared and wants to put the brakes on or even flip this thing in reverse – fine. I’m a big girl – just tell me that and for my part, our years of...

10 Things I Like About Me

Aug 22

Madame M says we can self-tag on this one, too, so here I go: 1. I, too, have great eyes. I’ve always thought so. They are expressive and a wonderful kaleidoscope of colors blended together into what the DMV calls brown. They don’t know – they don’t pay attention. 2. I have one bodacious set of ta-tas. (Dating myself with that phrase, I...

10 Things That Have Happened To Me

Madame M over at A Daily Dose of Zen Sarcasm has openly tagged anyone who’ll participate in this meme, so here goes! 1. I’ve been married and divorced three times (well, ok, married and divorced LEGALLY twice, but the other one we lived together and it lasted twice as long as the first two combined and then some, so I think it counts). One was a...

Old Friend, We Have a Problem

Aug 19

Old Friend showed up unannounced this afternoon to get his gold watch, that for reasons unknown and unimportant to me, he keeps at my house. When I answered the door, I was surprised to see him. He came in, asked if he could have his watch (he’s come and gotten it to wear and brought it back a few times,) so I went and got it out of my dresser for him. When I came...

Relief Spelled R-A-I-N

Finally, after over a week of triple-digit temperatures, we had some rain last night. Today’s high is only in the 90′s (only…ha!) but it’s amazing the difference. I guess everything’s relative, because when the temps first hit the 90′s after the 2 months of rain we had, we all thought we were going to suffocate…but now...

Old Friend, Old Flame and A Road Trip

Aug 18

Ever have a flash of insight as to just how convoluted and complicated your life has become, to the point that you just shake your head and laugh? Such a flash hit me this afternoon, thanks to my ex (for whom I have not yet determined an appropriate name in this blog, though currently Completely Clueless is one of the kinder, gentler front-runners.) Long before I met...
