Day 270 It’s All Hallows Evening … otherwise known as Halloween. And I know there is a bunch of history about this day – but when it comes right down to it, it’s really all about costumes, parties, bonfires and … Continue reading →

Day 269 On the day of the eve of Halloween I found myself walking the aisles of my local Walmart. Why? you might ask. Why indeed. I found myself asking that same question a few times during my visit. I vowed … Continue reading →

Day 268  While other people are hunkering down out east, in the dark, in the storm of all storms … I am eating ice cream.  Hurricane Sandy came ashore today … I haven’t really seen many pictures yet. I am sure we will … Continue reading →

Day 267 It’s astonishing that I didn’t have more cavities as a child growing up in the days before sealants and fluoride toothpaste. Apparently, I also grew up in the days before Raisin Bran and Wheat Chex were popular cereals. … Continue reading →

Day 266 I am on day something for painting my bathroom. I say, day “something” because this has been such a long process, I’ve lost count of how long I’ve actually been working on this teeny tiny bathroom … as … Continue reading →

Day 265 I am in the throes of a love affair. There are days when I think I would like to put an end to it … and then there are days when I wish for more. Much more. I’m in love with … Continue reading →

Day 264 It hit me just now … I have 100 days left of my blogging experiment! The countdown begins! Today I had a lovely, very unexpected little visitor. I recently pulled down all my storms on my windows – so no … Continue reading →

Day 263 I am a bookie. No, not that kind of bookie … but a lover of books. Without counting I would calculate that I have roughly  400. Maybe more. Not counting all of my educational and tutor books. And, as sad … Continue reading →

Day 262 Paint clothes = going on day 3. Painting actually done = minimal. Yeah, I’m doing just swell with my painting! These clothes can practically stand up by themselves and I have yet to get any paint on them! … Continue reading →

Day 261 The dog is, once again, in the bathtub. Mobes is not bathing or soaking in bubbles up to her snout … she is seeking refuge, as she has on and off for most of the day, as we are experiencing … Continue reading →

Day 260 I want to wear the red dress Marisa Tomei wore in the movie Only You. Of course, I want to look like she did, as well. It kissed her body and was the perfect dress for a dinner in Rome … Continue reading →

Day 259 Yesterday I put on my winter pea coat … complete with anchor imprinted buttons. What am I a sailor? In any case … there I was putting on my cozy coat when I thrust my hands into the … Continue reading →

Day 258 Well, my wish upon a star last night did not come true … and though I usually love rain … since my return back from Denver, I just can’t seem to get warm. The cold rain hasn’t helped. … Continue reading →

Day 257 Rain, rain – go away … come again another day. It’s raining, it’s pouring – the old man is snoring. He bumped his head and he went to bed and he couldn’t get up in the morning. If … Continue reading →

Day 256 My cat, Oscar, is 76 … as of today. He is 15 in human years … and well above that in cat years. He is a rescue cat. I stopped into the shelter one day, opened his cage and … Continue reading →

Day 255 Sometimes we need to just go with what the universe presents to us. Even though it might seem far-fetched … or not possible … or eerie. Even when it is, pretty much, down right creepy. Before Tim died … Continue reading →

Day 254 I hate good-byes. I am a big softie. I cry at Hallmark commercials and those ones at the holidays when the son comes home in the middle of the night and wakes everyone up by making coffee. When … Continue reading →

Day 253 I am an eater. And proud of it. If I could have one luxury in life it would be to have a personal chef … 24/7/365. I can actually say I don’t really associate with non-eaters. What fun … Continue reading →

Day 252 I am a lotions and potions gal. I’ve said this before. It’s no wonder I sold cosmetics for some twenty years … under all the dog furred yoga stretch pants I’m pretty much a girly-girl. Lock me in … Continue reading →

Day 251 If you are not an animal lover, specifically of dogs, go read something else … because you are not going to “get” this. I currently have two pugs, a lab and two cats. If I could possibly have … Continue reading →

Day 250 In no uncertain terms do I have a complete list of what I’d like to do in and with my life. I have ideas. I know a few things for certain. And mostly I just know I am … Continue reading →

Day 249 Maybe it was something I heard on the radio … but I don’t remember … but for whatever reason, I was thinking today not about things I WOULD like to do in my lifetime … but things I will (with … Continue reading →

Day 248 It’s raining. It’s also 45 degrees out. Add those things together and I’ve come to realize … I need a new wardrobe. Ordinarily I love rain. The pitter-patter of it on the roof, the sound of it as it sweeps across the … Continue reading →

Day 247 As is customary, at this time of year, my thoughts are focused. It’s my super busy time for business and with numbers to be crunched and customization art to be worked on and estimates to be calculated and orders … Continue reading →

Day 246 Peter, Peter pumpkin eater had a wife but couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her, very well. That is GHASTLY! It’s a Mother Goose nursery rhyme dating back to 1825. I’d, … Continue reading →

Day 245 How time flies when you’re having fun. I just realized I am more than 2/3rds the way through my year of blogging … 8 months of writing. Seriously … how can that be? I heard that the other day … Continue reading →

Day 244 Today was the coldest day I’ve experienced in months and months. NOT the snow that Denver woke up to this morning … but it has been in the 40’s all day with gray skies and high humidity -meaning it’s … Continue reading →

Day 243 I miss my old post office. Old – not as in antiquated but as in former.  When I walked in I was like Norm on Cheers … everybody knew my name. They knew me. I knew them. We … Continue reading →

Day 242 Tonight, as fate would have it, I am at a loss for words. Very unlike me … I always have words. I can always talk. I can always write. But, tonight, I am at a loss … and … Continue reading →

Day 241 My general mood today can be described in one word … pissy. A nicer word would be irritable or perhaps irritated because I wasn’t irritable until I was irritated. And I know my dietary habits of the day … Continue reading →

Day 240 This weekend we observed the full Harvest Moon … 3 nights of a full moon and I missed seeing it all together. How did that happen? The harvest moon … back in the day (I always wanted to … Continue reading →
