How can such a wee little baby need such a big vehicle? Oh, right…it’s all the supplies that need the extra space! (We had the new station wagon for less than 12 hours before Mom insisted on a trip to Target as our first outing).

I've been limping along with a hodgepodge of damaged devices both at work and home for months. The work lap top is missing the air card and the battery, only one usb port works, and the little hourglass is up so often I am in danger of being hypnotized by it. My big home eMac…

I got the hair into pony tails! Many more months of growing it out to go, but this is a big achievement. Next goal? Pay off every single debt. My progress on that is slightly less advanced. All this grown up stuff sucks. All I really want to do is run around in pigtails.

I have my Motto for 2011! I'm going to learn how to do the things that I have, at some point in my life, claimed to know how to do (or about), but in fact, don't. Like riding a bicycle. This will also include doing a few things that I never made false claims about,…

Funny things happen when two thoughts collide….I was thinking about moving back to Wisconsin, had added a new appropriately titled blog category, "Once a Cheesehead…". I was also taking inventory of my belongings, deciding what to sell, what to toss, and what to take on moving day. It then seemed natural (and not at all…

Before/After The house is nearly complete, the spiffing up as far as it's going to get before the family arrives. The spare room got the biggest make over… Still didn't manage to make that much room in the closets, and the storage space is overflowing…nothing worse than having the extra room to store stuff I…

Mom had this painting sent to me last week (thanks Uncle Bill). It hung for years in our entry hallway in Fondy, then in Mom's apartment on Diversey, then at Grandma Mickey's while Mom's been abroad. I'll be lucky if the plant next to it will last a fraction of that time. I've always loved…
