While blog surfing just now for a lunch break, I came upon a series of posts by MLL going over her resolutions from 2007 and how she did on them. One of them specifically addresses exercising and a comment there by Robin gave me an idea. Who wants to participate in some sort of exercising... Continue Reading →
Of sick pooties and more decorations
Does everyone realize that it is still November? I was feeling a little pressured because I had not thought a bit about holiday preparation other than decorations what with the other distractions the last couple of weeks. The August moms started talking shopping lists 3 weeks ago, and many have indicated they are DONE (show... Continue Reading →
Half a tree
After a safe few nights with the tree and cats co-existing without any damage inflicted, I opened the ornament boxes tonight and hung un-breakable only ornaments on the upper half. I *did* push the envelope a little with a mobile merry-go-round ornament, but it's up quite high. Chip stared at it for awhile and Amber... Continue Reading →
Religious Experience
If you've spent any time visiting here, you know that I am not religious at all. However, last night, I was in the presence of a god. The God of Guitars. Edward Van Halen. Anyone who has *any* appreciation of rock music has got to see this man play in person. His guitar solo is... Continue Reading →
0-30
Yep, that was it. Creamed. Shellacked. Stunned. Outplayed all around by an older team. A true Division 1 squad stacked with 20 2-year players. Meaning lots of 11-12 year olds. We only have 3 12 year olds, a few 11s and mostly 10s and then 3 9 year olds. It showed. Experience matters. They knew... Continue Reading →

Mrs Griswold, I presume.
With a break for lunch, transporting Sportsboy to and from practice and then to a friend's for a sleepover, and dinner, these pictures show what I have done from 10:00am until 9:30pm today: Front Side Back Weak attempt at night photo: Inside - tree and mantle in beginning stages. Amber is at that moment more... Continue Reading →
Inspiration
As I have been working from home the last three days, I have been sitting in my dining area facing the french doors that look out onto my rather tiny back yard. Mostly I have been watching the leaves flutter off of the peach tree in the corner, but I've also watched some hummingbirds visiting... Continue Reading →
Happy FDAD!!
What is FDAD? It's the other version of Thanksgiving - Family Dysfunction Awareness Day! I know that a few of my friends will enjoy that since they are facing some errr...'challenges' during this holiday weekend 🙂 I'm trying to take some time to catch up on reading all my favorite blog sites today. It's literally... Continue Reading →
Live and Let Live
My apologies for getting a bit deep today, but while reading Cheers & Jeers on DailyKos this morning, I came upon this poem by a member who I often love to read as she has given me great insight and understanding on the lives of trans gender people. She posted this in honor of the... Continue Reading →
