    2020-02-26 Chickens and Squirrels and Pies, Oh My 🐓🐿 🥧

    I might start by mentioning that I did land on a few goals for the year but that news is so two days ago. I could go on a long tangent about the rabbit hole that I found myself in with domain management, web hosting, and WordPress theme customization. But that’s just yesterday’s news. Then…

    2020-02-22 It’s a Great Day to Waste Some Time

    A few nights ago I went to a program downtown which had a central focus on the topic of Wasting Time. You might be surprised to learn that it was “In Praise of Wasting Time” which is the title of the book by Professor and Author, Alan Lightman. He was the key speaker in the…

    Dear Diary… How I have missed you so! It’s been several moons since we had any quality time together and I’m starting to feel anxious and nervous about our relationship. My biggest fear is that in my absence, you have started reading other people. Please say it isn’t so!.. /gasp /swoon But seriously, since I…

    2020-02-16 Cake V Cake, the post Honeymoon Tasting 🍰

    Right now, this very minute I am taste testing two slices of two week old wedding cake, cold, right out of the refrigerator. In this corner we have Hy-Vee Red Velvet, the apparent Fan Favorite after the groundhog didn’t see his shadow on Sunday February 2nd this year. And in this corner we have Wheatfields…

    I spent 6+ hours yesterday breaking up and shoveling chunks of ice down the driveway. I spent 6+ hours doing that instead of all the other stuff on my to-do list because, well, it just needed doing. In some places the ice was 2+ inches thick and we’ve been buying ice melt like it’s the…

    You know how sometimes in life you get a feeling or a vibe or you notice a trend or a connection that defies explanation but you just know in your gut that there is something to it? Like intuition about something that makes no sense or random deja vu. There’s a reason we have a…

    2019-10-20 Sunday Lazy Sunday Status

    Perhaps I’ve been avoiding accounting because I think I’m not going to like the results. I feel like my sleep has not gotten better despite the measures I’ve taken to try and improve the situation. I also think my exercise and steps have not been up to par. I know the healthy eating thing is…

    2019-10-18 Friday One-Track-Mind, the Coffee Edition ☕️

    I’m like inches from caving on the whole abstaining from caffeine thing. I’m sure I’m wasting so much mental energy trying to resist excuses my body keeps throwing at me why I should cave in. It’s pulling ALL kinds of reasons why .. it’s a silly experiment, not helping my sleep situation, not harmful for…
