Taxes and the next new habit
Just a quick primer on what happened this month to your paycheck if you work for another company since I noticed more than one person ranting on Facebook with clearly NO CLUE what just happened. Back in 2009, as part of a budget deal, a Social Security payroll tax holiday was declared. They rolled back... Continue Reading →
Recovery is fun!
Especially when your boys are willing to spend many hours playing card games with you to break up the time spent reading on your new kindle or in front of the TV: We've had this game for awhile but at first our brains hurt or we were just too tired or something to want... Continue Reading →
Cancer is not a game, and neither is sports anymore
This has been eviction week #2 which meant outpatient surgery to remove two perfectly round 2cm sized fibroids that were benign but excruciatingly annoying as hell for the last few months.

Fun with termites!
First of all, yes, that is an Andersen Kitty Calendar from Love and Hisses on the wall. The ever Gorgeous Corbie is keeping an eye on the shenanigans for me this month 🙂 So, termite tenting week is here. I spent Sunday cleaning and bagging after spending Saturday getting the backyard prepped. 27 took... Continue Reading →
New Habits for 2013 – Let’s Do This Together!
Think of little everyday tasks (habits) you do already without needing any impressive amount of motivation or inspiration – brush your teeth, shower, scoop your cat’s litter box or take your dog for a walk. If you miss a day, you don’t get overly bummed; you just pick it right back up. Those are all... Continue Reading →
