Safely settled into my chair to write. I have some iced tea and my snuggly shawl. The house is quiet for the moment. ::knocks wood:: Four ideas and which to run with first? That's the question!

Today was productive. Got several things done. Recently watched Secret Yellowstone and Beyond the Movie - Troy, both National Geographic productions. I ( Read more... )

Oh, wait, wrong mind!

Tom's bathroom could do with a coat of paint and/or new wallpaper. The new shower curtain and lovely fluffy bath carpet have made a huge difference. I have one of those slim Rubbermaid cabinets with two drawers in there that houses first aid supplies, large items like hair straightener and hand cream. Also dumping old ( Read more... )

A couple of hours ago, I was ready to hit the sack. Now, at 12:30 AM and after eating, I'm wide awake and ready to rumble. Well, not really rumble, but I have some things on my mind that I need to purge. Maybe purge is a poor choice of words because not all of it is bad ( Read more... )

I like to believe there's an afterlife. Some people believe that spirits walk among the living, some don't. I'm not trying to start a religious argument. The simple fact is that some people believe and others don't, I respect their right to do so. Monday morning I jolted awake from a dead sleep; it was pouring outside. So, I came out of the bedroom ( Read more... )

Media Madness!
Finally finished the hard cover of Resolution. Good book, if you like westerns and/or Robert B. Parker's writing, you'll probably like it. It's the sequel to Appaloosa which was made into a film not so long ago. Tried listening to the audiobook of The Young Carthaginian, but the reader was one of those that has a sleeping time voice ( Read more... )

For the first time in about week, maybe two, I slept well.. maybe well isn't the right way to put it. I slept hard, out cold, dead to the world. I went to bed about 4:30AM. I woke up to the somewhat harsh music of a hail and thunderstorm about 7:30. I remember shutting down all the computers and unplugging the modem, etc. I went back to bed. I don' ( Read more... )

This morning was rough on all of us. I slept on the couch for about two hours, maybe three. I stayed in the living room to be next to Shottie. I remember being awake when the other half came out to go to work. I heard him say goodbye to the dog. I remember Tom coming out to be with with Shottie when his alarm went off. I don't know if he went to ( Read more... )

At times we all retreat to what we call our quiet or peaceful places. That is what the weekend looks like for me; reading, needlework, and maybe some time out with the other half. I might use Sunday for cleaning since Kevin and I usually got out on Saturday and Tom has spring break next week. We have a few things that should be done, but they aren' ( Read more... )

We saw Watchmen on Friday night. If you read the comic, you'll probably like it. If not, you'll be lost ( Read more... )
