How’s your week been? I’m going to confess that it’s been a weirdly emotional one for me, and I can’t say with certainty that I understand why. It started out pretty good: Valentine’s flowers from S to start the weekend and then more roses from my son (along with his company) on Sunday made me…
Music Fridays: Are you gonna be my girl
Last night I was packing up a few items to drop off at the local Goodwill this weekend and I picked up one of the items I’m still undecided as to what to do with it. It’s an old cell phone, the last LG phone I had before I upgraded to an iPhone. Amazingly it…
Music Fridays: Put Your Records On
I’m late to this party, but I’ve been tidying up and editing my home after watching every episode of Netflix’s show “Get Organized with The Home Edit,” “Tidying up with Marie Kondo” and “Sparking Joy.” So after cleaning out closets and the pantry and finding more than I expected to donate or trash, I then…
Stars
Written for the #bloganuary prompt: How do you feel when you look at the stars?
The Sunday Post: 5 Things
A recent #Bloganuary prompt was to list five things I’m grateful for today. Unless you’re a new reader on this blog, you know that this is a topic I’ve written about quite a bit in the last year and a half, so this is not a hard topic and one I find easy to write…
Music Fridays: Paradise by the Dashboard Light
At one point I knew all the lyrics. I still sing along to this song every time it comes on. I can’t help myself. Another one lost too soon.
After Life
Last night I found myself surrounded by paper and crying in front of my television. I wasn’t crying about the mess (although a few things I found among the mess would have made me cry a year ago). I’d created this mess while trying to do some filing to prepare for tax time, which led…
Playing Favorites
January will be over soon so I’m late to this party, but I just found out about a WordPress blogging challenge called “Bloganuary” with daily prompts to encourage regular writing. I haven’t looked at all the prompts I’ve missed but yesterday’s was “favorite photo you’ve ever taken.” I am terrible at picking favorites. I’ve probably…
Music Fridays: Oh My God
That’s what I was thinking as I watched the snow fall last weekend. Where did all this snow and sleet come from? Fortunately I didn’t have to go anywhere and I enjoyed the weekend hibernating in my nest. As I wrote before, I spent a lot of time baking. I don’t remember what I was…
