Yesterday I had what I would call a "zen" moment. I don't think I have ever even used that word as I never seem to have moments of complete calm, my mind is forever racing, problem solving, or moving on to the next project. But for whatever reason, yesterday I woke up and didn't feel like sitting on my iPad or working. I wondered out into our back ( Read more... )

When I moved here I knew we would be combining houses. Sadly one of Rich's last relationships decided that when they moved out they had the right to anything in his house that wasn't nailed down while he was out at work. Me... I had a bunch of random crap but was unsure what he would have in his kitchen. I had know, from times I had slept over, ( Read more... )

It's been a while so this is going to be a bit of a ramble (and lets be honest.. a bit depressing) - Feel free to skip it if you wish, I just felt the need to purge..

Her: Remember we would hear the Theme to "Happy days" coming on ( Read more... )

It was a crappy end to 2013 but I tell myself that at least it was the ending of the year and not the beginning of the new year- right? I had the joy of spending time sitting in the Urgent care to round out my year along with half the world's population. How was I to know that the last day of the year is also the busiest time for Urgent care. So ( Read more... )

Last night was the first Christmas eve EVER, in my entire life, that I didn't have some place to be. My time wasn't sucked up by hurrying home from work, changing clothes, and hitting the road to the in-laws 3 hours away -where we would rush thru opening presents and struggle with trying to leave early enough to get back home for 3 hours worth of ( Read more... )

As a kid you depend on the world to tell you what holidays were coming as you had no use for real calendars. For me the smell of Vinegar at night signafied Easter. The only time you would smell vinegar at our house was either when my mum was cleaning out the coffee pot (which would be during the day time) or when it had been warmed and poured  into ( Read more... )

Growing up I HATED waking up early for school. In fact... I STILL hate waking up early. I'm dangerous to the world and your continued joy of living if you even dare speak to me in the first hour of crawling out of bed. This is why I had to tell the sales person who phoned in on Saturday morning that I was going to have to Stab him in the neck for ( Read more... )
