Spring Cleaning

Date April 27, 2010

That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. As a consequence, there will be no continuing saga this week. Check back Saturday night for this week’s doins’. In the meantime, wish me luck with Getting Things Done. If there were an Olympics for procrastinators, I would win the gold medal in every event. Michael Phelps, eat [...]

My Square Foot Garden: And Then Some

Date April 25, 2010

The best laid plans… Today was going to be Get the Living Room Squared Away Day. Ha! Didn’t get done. What did was lots of work outside—hanging out laundry and working on the garden plus plus. I have an idea I’m going to be sore tomorrow. It should be a good kind of sore since [...]

My Week: Up for Grabs

Date April 24, 2010

Saturday night I did it again. This time, I assure you my update will be short and sweet. I didn’t write anything up until now and it’s getting late. I don’t want to be up until all hours so what you don’t know won’t hurt you. Sunday, I did my usual routine. I was getting [...]

How Much Water?

Date April 22, 2010

All my life I have heard, “Drink eight 8 oz. (aka ozzies) glasses of water a day.” It’s like it’s a commandment chiseled in stone. But should it be that way? I don’t think so. Am I all alone in my thinking? This week’s Bible study (in my circle known as the Sabbath School lesson) [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part CXVII, Up in the Air

Date April 20, 2010

Our supper table conversation wasn’t as boisterous as it had been on previous occasions. My sister was still in the throes of mourning my leaving. Nothing I could say could keep her from it. If my brother-in-law made a joke (for which he is famous), she would be laughing and on the verge of tears [...]

My Week: PAW 2010

Date April 17, 2010

Saturday night It’s been so intense, I didn’t get a word written before tonight. This will be rather disjointed since it won’t be day by day but you are probably fortunate as a result. Last Sunday, DS1 didn’t get home until after I got up. My night in my granddaughter’s bed left me wishing I’d [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part CXVI, Winding Down

Date April 13, 2010

Most of my time had passed at my sister’s home and there were still things I wanted to do. I’d seen in the paper that the lowest tide of the year would take place the next day and I was teeming to go to the beach. The paper stated there were treasures galore to be [...]

The First 2010 Awesome Rawsome Giveaway Winner!

Date April 11, 2010

As promised, I did the calculations this past week (though it was on Wednesday) and found our winner! Once again, I will explain that I got to Random.org and plug in the number of qualifying entries. Then I get a truly random number to match to the comment. It’s a totally fair way to do [...]

My Week: Redbuds, Forsythia and Dogwood—oh my!

Date April 10, 2010

Sunday Spring has hit in force. It’s amazing. The redbuds are coming out, forsythia is blooming and the dogwoods are just beginning to show some color. Beautiful! This has to be my favorite time of year. There isn’t that much that is different to eat but I can wait on the good fruit. I have [...]

My Bladder and Me: The Third Office Visit

Date April 8, 2010

(My appointment was yesterday.) As usual, I left well before my appointment time in case there was a delay on the way. There was nothing spectacular that happened. A few slow vehicles but not enough to make me late. In fact, I got to the complex early enough that I got my netbook out and [...]
