Been puttzing about with household and computer chores, trying to work on things I need to finish for the Writer's Play Day in a couple of weeks. I've decided much house cleaning ought be done since we're not likely to have warm enough weather to spend most of the day outside. Possible, of course, but I'll not count on it at this point. Normally, ( Read more... )

Friday MyJeff and I combined play and work around home, but I didn't find time to bake his birthday cake. Saturday morning a friend came over and we shared breakfast and Life Updating for a few hours (the breakfast didn't take hours--the conversation did). No sooner did we walk into the house after seeing him off, than the phone rang and a woman ( Read more... )

After the temps drop to 8 degrees tonight, this section of the world is gonna be one big ice skating rink. --- And all the best skaters are currently in Sochi ( Read more... )

I just loaded up the page to write a post and both dogs cuddled up next to me, laying their chins on my thigh. It's a half hour short of their supper time, and I guess they wanted to be sure I remember that they're here. Now MyJeff just walked in the back door. Boy, do I dwell in Bad Timing Town today ( Read more... )

Woke up just before 2 a.m. Spent about 90 minutes tossing and turning with my traitorous little mind dashing around like a gerbil on Starbuck's Best Espresso. Worrying about getting funds transferred to cover today's mortgage withdrawal; about remembering to take certain items along for the estate sale preparations I'm helping with today--and that ( Read more... )

Last night and early this morning we received a little more snow. Maybe 3/4 inch of light, dry stuff. When I first came downstairs this a.m., I thought "I'd better get out front and sweep that stuff off the sidewalk while it's easy to do--before people trample it and it melts and re-freezes into ice patches ( Read more... )

I've been running around the house today, properly storing things that have been getting shoved into corners and onto the front porch for awhile now. Packing up the Halloween decorations and shuffling the basement to stack the Halloween tubs and bags out of the way. Mostly. Then I ran around the greater metro a bit, picking up the items I'd won in ( Read more... )
