We all strive to be our best – whether in work, art, spirit or body. So when you start working out to be the best body you can be, how do you measure progress? Do you own scales that you are constantly on? I find this extremely deceptive as we all know muscle weighs more… Continue reading How do you measure progress?
I know a strange question. I was 22 and about to be married when I got my first car. As a part of a couple, I helped make several car purchasing decisions. Then, after my marriage ended, I bought my first car on my own. When I was 16 and wanted my permit, my mother… Continue reading Does having a driver’s license mean you should own a car?
I am not a city girl. I love living in the setting I do. I am even outside of town and town is a small upstate village. I do have neighbors that I can see their homes but no sidewalks, sometimes no plows in a storm for hours. It doesn’t bother me at all. There… Continue reading San Francisco
I try to say this with as much sarcasm in my typing as I can but have yet to find the smiley for sarcasm. I work online for a company that has a family of web sites that deal with politics. Last Thursday started a mess that is finally just now ending. We were hacked.… Continue reading Technology is a Wonderful Thing
What a day! First off, we got a slightly late start but did go to breakfast at Elise’s favorite dinner on Military Rd in Niagara Falls. After quite a bit to eat at Augie’s, we headed to Lewiston. I have only been to Lewiston once before. I came up when Elise was being inducted into… Continue reading Road Trip #3, Day 2
Road trip number three is under way. I am typing in a hotel room on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Niagara Falls, New York. My youngest son and I left home yesterday about 10:30 after a mad day Thursday of cleaning and baking – of which the baking carried over into Friday morning. You see, it… Continue reading Road Trip #3
So I love to blog. I find Yahoo! 360 to be a good outlet for this. I do have my dislikes but it works easier than trying something new. Today’s blog from the 360 team leads me to believe I should look for a method to back up my blog or just scrap what I… Continue reading Where do I go from here?
This morning’s walk/run was done without an mp3 player as my son’s iPod shuffle was dead and he hadn’t charged it yesterday and my other son’s RCA Lyra was still in his ears. I headed out with just a timer and myself. This is the first true walk of fall. I actually wore warmup pants… Continue reading The Sights and Sounds of Fall
I have written about plastic bag beads before here. I really enjoy this process – having taken a kabob skewer and making it a crafting item. I have made blue beads for my first attempt. The above is my second attempt. I wanted to make them look more like precious metals. I used a goldish… Continue reading More Plastic Bag Beads
I belong to a Yahoo! group that is called The Latest Trends in Mixed Media. The group is doing a Halloween ATC (artist trading card) swap and contest that is sponsored by TwistedPaper.com. TwistedPaper.com supplied the image and participants had to make an ATC from the image. Above is my entry. It is the third… Continue reading Halloween ATC for Swap
