With regards to Pioneer Woman and the post I wrote last week, apparently it is I who has been living under a rock. After receiving so many emails telling me how jealous I am, I was quite surprised to begin an exchange with a woman who brought something to my attention – I’m not the […]

What could go wrong?
March 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Because I apparently haven’t quite mastered the Art Of Making An Ass Of One’s Self, the Universe decided to present another opportunity for me to test my skills. I passed. With flying colors. Friday was going to be a simple day and I’d made sure that there wouldn’t be a chance in hell anything could […]

A visitor on the farm
March 14th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized
Our dog, Jack, rarely barks. He generally likes sitting inside next to his air purifier we got him from https://moonriverchattel.com/ which is why he rarely sits on the patio and just…. barks…. all day, for no reason. But mostly, he only barks when someone’s pulling in the driveway or our neighbor and her dog head out […]

Another one bites the dust
March 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’m busy this morning trying to resusitate a coffeepot, again. We have had, over the courseof our 15 years together, over 10 coffeepots that I can remember with absolute certainty purchasing. In all honestly, I would say we’ve actually had closer to 13 or 14 because we are cursed. Cursed, I tell you. We’ve had […]

And so it begins
March 12th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Book Writing
When life is as crazy as it is someones around here, I can’t help but need things prioritized. I knew at some point that I’d need to actually start actually writing, I mean that is the entire point, yes? But I kept putting it off. To begin writing would begin opening all those doors and, like […]

I swear I’m not a stalker

Trying to locate people from nearly 15 years ago and ask for permission to use their names has proved interesting. Although I only had Charlene as my nurse that one fateful day, she’s such an integral part of the story that I decided to track her down. I figured I would call the L&D floor […]
Rhythm of the farm
March 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’ve talked before about the rhythm of the farm and how it creeps into your body and soul, becomes tangible and comforting at the same time. Today is a perfect illustration of it. In the short span of only a few days I believe Spring has peeked in on us. We always have at least […]
The greatest thing since sliced bread
March 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
Sometimes it’s the little things that change our lives – you know, like sliced bread. I mean someone somewhere thought to themselves, “I know! Let’s slice it before we sell it!” And then someone else said, “Dude – fantabulous idea! Let’s rock and roll baby.” Then Wonder got involved and life has never been the […]

Yes, I’ve added ads
March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
After years of blogging, I’ve succumbed to putting ads on this site. I admit that my other site containing ads did generate enough income last year to pay for the domains and hosting – nothing else, but hey, those are the actual expenses of the sites so I called it good. So I received the email […]
