Day 56 It’s Saturday, March 31, 2012 … the last day of March and it’s currently 70 degrees outside. This is wild! When I was little I paid special attention to the old adage about March … in like a lion, … Continue reading →

Day 55 This morning I wrenched from my dog’s mouth a beanie baby. A little red bull that she was happily carrying around the house. It wasn’t until after I used the Jaws of Life to get the thing separated from … Continue reading →

Day 54 I have a thing for pantries. I do. I think it must stem from my childhood and staying with my mom’s parents for overnights and such. They had a walk-in pantry and it was fabulous. Now, to anyone … Continue reading →

Day 53 There is a forest fire burning in the mountains. And I use the term forest rather loosely as it is and has affected thousands of families in residence in that area (as there are homes and it’s just … Continue reading →

Day 52 Just when I was considering slicing a rotting cucumber to place on my puffy, swollen cried-out eyeballs … (stress from all that revolves around moving) and thinking about donning a party hat for my little pitty party I was … Continue reading →

Day 51 I am dog sitting. Sitting, sometimes literally, with dogs. Actually sitting with dogs on me. Meaning, really literally, ON me … as in lap dog. The only problem is that the lap dog that is on me is … Continue reading →

Day 50 When I turned 50 (many moons ago) my lovely friends drew a 3-sectioned poster of me in a convertible and put it in my yard. The girl on the poster was cuter (and younger) than I’ve ever been. … Continue reading →

Day 49 Today I did something I’ve never done before – ever. Chalk it up to doing too many things at one time or being rushed or not paying close enough attention. No, I didn’t rear end anyone or slam … Continue reading →

Day 48 Someday I’ll actually go through and use what I’ve been packing into these cartons. I’m moving … not across town but across the country … so, it will be expensive. However, there I was, last night, holding the (pretty) green … Continue reading →

Day 47 I wear glasses. Have done so since I was about 7.  As I’ve been told (because I do not remember) we were somewhere and my dad asked me to read a sign and I couldn’t see it. Not something a … Continue reading →

Day 46 Ah, packing. I’ve been doing it for a week now … all day long, all night long, in my dreams! Well, or so it seems. In reality, I’ve been packing several hours a day to about 10 hours … Continue reading →

Day 45 Happy Spring! Yay … it is finally here. FINALLY! And I say that with such emphasis that I’m nearly shouting it outloud as I type. And it wasn’t even a bad winter. Yeah – it snowed – but … Continue reading →

Day 44 I have a thing for eyebrows. Well, actually, I have a thing against eyebrows. Not that I think anyone should look like Clara Bow (who I’m pretty sure shaved off her eyebrows and then penciled in new ones) … Continue reading →

Day 43 We all have 24 hours in the day. Except, I’m sure, my friend – Sue – who has at least 30 cuz she does more than anyone I know on the planet! But, for the rest of us … Continue reading →

Day 42 I’ve often wondered why the saying is … “the luck of the Irish …”? In my mind they don’t seem very lucky … snakes taking over the country, war raging on for centuries, cobbled streets where you are … Continue reading →

Day 41 I could be Noah. I have just about as many animals as he did – though what I’m lacking in variety I am making up in quantity. Well, almost. For 40 days I’ve been writing this blog. FORTY … Continue reading →

Day 40 I am not a fashionista. Far from it. I no longer have fears of the Fashion Police hunting me down – they gave up on me long ago! I’ve never had a sense of style … yeah, I … Continue reading →

Day 39 This morning I met a friend for coffee and we “caught up”. It’s not that we don’t chat via the phone or email … but today was a face-to-face “let’s meet for coffee and catch up” hour. Funny how … Continue reading →

Day 38 I have birdfeeders. Several birdfeeders. They hang from the trees in my backyard … a frog, a white gazebo, a flattened stone with a hedgehog on it, a suet cage, a basket. I smear peanut butter on my … Continue reading →

Day 37 I’ve been doing a lot of searching lately. Well, for the last few years at least about a variety of issues in my life … finding a new location, new hometown, new house has been forefront on my … Continue reading →

Day 36 Day 4 of on the road travels brings me to pose such a question. What IS in a name? I’ve driven 1300 miles on this trip … and have seen my fair share of signage along the way … Continue reading →

Day 35 Oh … road trips. Here I am … in Winchester, KY trying to find that (still elusive) new hometown. I am NOT having a successful time of finding a new place to live. It shouldn’t be this hard! … Continue reading →

Day 34 Another day, another 300 miles of local driving. Here I am in the Hampton Inn in Bardstown, KY … again, wondering how did I get here? What am I doing? Why can’t I find the town I have … Continue reading →

Day 33 They are everywhere. Signs. No not stop signs and other notifications of traffic control or historical markers or advertisements … but SIGNS. Signs from another realm … another place … another well – whatever. After Tim died I … Continue reading →

Day 32 That announcement has been going through my head this week, “Gentlemen … start your engines!” I feel like I’m getting ready for a race … not quite set to take off yet but getting ready. I’m starting my engine. … Continue reading →

Day 31 I have a confession. I have an infatuation with alligators. Well, not just alligators but crocodiles and well, pretty much anything that is gator-ish I like! You might ask – what’s the difference between gators and crocs (the animals not … Continue reading →

Day 30 I … ever notice how often you say the word I in a day? I use it a LOT in these posts … of course, it’s kind of hard not to cuz I’m writing about ME! I (there … Continue reading →

Day 29 Okay … joke’s on ME! No sooner had I pushed the “publish” button on yesterday’s post than I looked outside and what did I see? Yes … MR. T! Right across the street … standing sideways so I … Continue reading →

Day 28 Okay, I admit it. This morning I was in the park – in my bathrobe. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Although I did kind of look like a wild, run-away mental patient from “One Flew Over … Continue reading →

Day 27 I am a goofball. I like silly things and stupid trivia and corny jokes. I blame it all on my upbringing as that was customary when I was growing up … and word problems. If having to eat … Continue reading →

Day 26 I’m having a ball. Well, I’m not having a ball as much as I’m sitting on one! Yes – I have a new office chair. I finally caved and bought myself a BalanceBall Chair (from Gaiam … www.gaiam.com). … Continue reading →
