Thank goodness this weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time once again. Hallelujah! Not that I don’t appreciate the evening daylight—I love long days as much as the next person. It’s just that, this year, the extra hour of sleep we’ll get tomorrow night from changing the clocks back couldn’t have come at a […]

Today I used up the better part of my Columbus Day holiday getting new brakes. After putting Maia on the school bus, the grinding noise emanating from the front of my car sent me straight to Midas. Since Columbus Day isn’t a work holiday for most, I was left stuck without a ride. I decided […]

Edit: When I transferred posts from Blogger to this new blog location, the picture attached to this post didn’t make it. I haven’t figured out yet how to relink it. However, it’s a larger and less cropped version of the same photo used in the banner at the top of this page. I don’t exactly […]
I’ve become quite the delinquent blogger. How did that happen? The next couple of weeks will continue to be quiet for me (bloggingly speaking) as I settle into my new role at work. The honeymoon period is over and I am beginning to understand the beast I have taken on. Don’t you just love it […]

Target is without question my favorite store. I could get lost in there for hours. That’s dangerous, because what happened today happens entirely too often. I went in with a small list and came out spending $117.51. That’s expensive shampoo and toothpaste! How, I ask you, does that happen, every single time I walk in […]

As previously mentioned here and here, I’ve had some good fortune over the last few weeks, which gives me much to be thankful for. I can’t help wondering, though, why me? What have I done differently from anyone else to deserve the things that just seem to fall into my lap? Kent says they don’t […]
So I’m not a foodie, or a cook (my poor family!), but one of my favorite shows is Good Eats on the Food Network. This is not one of Noah’s favorite shows, because every time we turn it on, he petulantly proclaims “No Good Eats!” as he furrows his brow with a little pout. I […]
I had planned to post on an entirely different subject today, but that one will have to wait until tomorrow because right now I want to blog about my really good, most excellent day. It started out great when I got on the scale this morning and realized I’m only 5 pounds from my New […]

This is a little story I like to tell whenever the subject of procrastination comes up, which it did today at work. At the company I used to work for, we had a 401(k) plan with a five-year vesting schedule that was all or nothing. My money was always mine, but if I left before […]

I haven’t much time for an original entry today, so instead I thought I’d share a few of my favorite quotes. Maybe one of these days I’ll write complete posts around some of these. “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” […]
