I honestly cannot believe I completed so many things on my first quarter lists (read about them here). I’m not one to make resolutions because I never keep them. I think, maybe, it’s because these were lists. I do love checking things off lists. Now, there’s probably not that much difference between resolutions and goals, …
In January, I joined Leslie, Mireille, Joanne, Bo, and Christie to blog about our bucket lists and goals. Now, if you’ve followed me for very long, you know I’m not good with setting and keeping goals. It’s like I set a goal, and then I do everything I can to not even try to meet …
You have no idea how much I wanted to type, “It’s 9:00 on a Saturday; the regular crowd shuffles in.” Bonus points if you get the reference, or better yet, sang along! It’s actually after 10:00, but that’s not how the song goes. Anyhoo, it is Saturday night, and the mini retreat is over. It …
I am so thrilled to be joining the women who make up the Beauty Spotlight Team! You can expect this post every Saturday! It’s been a warm and gorgeous Friday in Central Indiana. We’re expecting some pretty powerful storms tonight though. These are the days I not so graciously remind Nigel how much I miss …
Global writing challenge… It’s time for another Global Writing Challenge prompt. Our current membership consists of MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Women Over 50 Living Well, Suzy Turner, Once Upon a Time Happily Ever After, Rosie Amber, and me. You may have noticed this is a week earlier. We decided to make the change as the third Thursday is a …
Creativity… I never thought of myself as a particularly creative person. I couldn’t draw, play a musical instrument, or do anything I considered creative. I was very, very tunnel-visioned in my thinking. It wasn’t until after I retired that I realized I’d been funneling all my creativity into my teaching. I had to create bulletin …
Number #23 Honestly, I didn’t mean to skip January and thought long and hard about skipping February! But, I thought that would be a bad habit to get into, and Lord knows I have plenty of bad habits! So, I’m going to try to put in what I remember of January along with February. I …
I don’t know about you, but I have been taking way too many naps lately. I get a good eight hours of sleep almost every night. I seem to have developed this pattern of getting up around 3:00, but I quickly fall back to sleep. For some reason, though, I’m sleepy and ready for a …
I know, I know! You don’t expect to see DIY from me. I’m not just a pretty face! I’m actually pretty good at coming up with ideas (or at least I have some pretty wicked Pinterest pages) and visualizing how it will look in our space. I’m also a pretty good supervisor as well as …
A Nigel update… Nigel has been using his cane more and more frequently. One day, I kinda put on my teacher pants and lectured him about getting up and moving more. He took my words to heart and has been walking more. But, my friends, I felt awful about it. I haven’t really put myself …
