Bits & Pieces #29

I have several totally unrelated bits and pieces to share, but then, aren’t they usually?  First off, during these past two weeks when I’ve been dealing with such pain in my back and leg, there’s one important duty I’ve neglected, which has come back to bite me.  I’ve totally neglected to fight back against the [...]

You’re Getting Older When…

I know these kinds of lists are floating all over the Internet, but I recently received one I think has some pretty funny (and true!) points.  If I knew who wrote it, I would be glad to give them credit.  Meanwhile, enjoy! You know you’re getting older when: 1. You find yourself beginning to like [...]

Bits and Pieces #27

Yikesy-Mama!  What is it about this time of year that makes people crazy?  I’ve had several tell me that they’re slogged down in depression.  Others are bored and restless.  And still others feel that if we have one more storm, they’re going to lose it!  Me?  I’m a little bit all of the above. So [...]

See this thing?  It’s a scissor sharpener I ordered on eBay.  I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but [...]

Santa, Please, Don’t Get Me These!

Bits And Pieces #25

My bits and pieces for today are totally unrelated in any way.  So, if one doesn’t interest you, just sit back and wait for the next.  You never know when you’ll learn something.  Or not. ****************************** About six months ago I had a couple of ingrown eyelashes that were actually in my eye so I [...]

Some Questions I Have…

Since Sunday tends to be a slow day here in Blog Land, I thought I’d throw out several questions that have been swimming around in my  mind.  If any of you happen to have an answer or two, I’m hoping you’ll use the comment section to enlighten me. Question 1:  Why does the moon sometimes [...]

Antidote To Tears

Not to sound like a broken record or anything, but as I’m suffering through Week Eleven of double vision, I often am finding life pretty grim.  I think a large part of this is the fact that this is something I can’t control.  All I can do is take my medicine and wait…and wait.  Being [...]

Three Short Updates

I thought I’d take a minute and give you updates on three things I’ve talked about in past posts.  You know, sort of “the rest of the story,” kind of thing. Remember when I got my counter tops refinished and my blah kitchen turned into a cool and slinky place?  I realized that the only [...]
