I am doing much better since my last post. Apparently, the small cold I had was Covid and was pretty miserable most of the weekend. To cope I ended up bingeing a couple of seasons of Columbo. I ended up really liking the show. Up until that weekend I think I had only watch one or two of the tv movies. I liked how calm Peter Falk plays the rumbled ( Read more... )

I have been meaning to make a post here for a few days, but it hasn't worked out due to how busy May has been. Unfortunately, now I am not as busy because I have a bad cold so I figured making a post was at least something fun I could do while sick. On the other hand, My husband and I were able to at least get our room done earlier this week, so we ( Read more... )

I can't believe it is the end of April already. Time is flying by but yet some days seem to drag as well so I have never been able to figure that one out. We have been busy trying to fix all of the things that we have been putting off to one day in the future. Right now, we are working on our bedroom, some of the wiring and drywall needed replacing ( Read more... )

The beginning of April has been a bit of a mixed bag so far, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it the month will be good overall. We finally finished remodeling one of the bedrooms so now we can focus on our next project in trying to get our house ready to sell. I am kind of dreading it though because it is our bedroom. The wiring needs ( Read more... )

I can finally post without having to explain I have been sick. \o/ My whole family has been well for almost two weeks now. I am super pleased by that. Cookie season is in full swing for the Girl Scouts, and we had a couple of booth sales this past weekend. One in front of a pet store and the other in front of a grocery store. They were both fairly ( Read more... )

I was going to try to make these posts every week but I unfortunately that didn't work out last week. We all ended up with the stomach flu. Can you even believe it? Thankfully it was of short duration, and we are all better now. I am really hoping that is the last of the wintertime sickness because I am pretty sure we have caught everything that is ( Read more... )

My week has been a productive reading week, other than that I feel like I can't get a grip on the housework. Our house is not filthy just messy, and I have been trying to get it in some sort of order, but it feels like every time I turn around there is another mess. I'm tired of it. It is difficult though with us living in such a small house and ( Read more... )

It has been a while since I have done one of these posts, but I would like to get back into the habit as I quite enjoy them. My 2024 hasn't gotten off on a great start as the family was horribly sick for the first week. We never tested positive for Covid, but it sure felt like the Covid I had last year. Thankfully we are all better now. Other than ( Read more... )

This year was rough there were a couple of deaths in the family and family drama that helps no one.  But there were also some good things that happened as well. We took a really love road trip as a family, we were for the most part healthy ( Read more... )

I can't believe it is time to sign up for next year's reading challenges already.  2024 is only three days away and I am so not ready.  I am always so excited to sign up for these challenges and I am so very thankful to the people who run them! Plus, I love getting to talk to others about what we are all are reading.  This post is also so I can ( Read more... )
