Okay everyone! I have owned roller skates for approximately 72 hours, so I obviously wanted to share everything from my expert point of view. LOL! As an expert, I can objectively judge my own skills and tell you that I’m not very good at skating. But it is making me incredibly happy to try. I…
Oooh this week. It was a tough one. I won’t bore you with all the gory details, but I will say that by Friday, I was freakin’ D-O-N-E with everything and everyone. Calgon take me away. But we had weekend plans for the first time in about a million years, so I had to pull…
Oops! I fell off the blogging wagon last week, and today wasn’t looking so great either. I honestly just completely forgot about it. My mind has been so preoccupied with doctor appointments and decisions regarding sending Stevie back to school (along with all the normal preoccupations, of course). After talking to his cardiologist, she gave…
The week after Spring Break heading into Easter was a little rough getting back on track. I went through my Monday thinking it was Thursday. And that’s just never a good way to start! But as we wrapped things up on Friday, I still sat in awe of where the heck the week went… and…
Well hello! Spring Break is officially coming to an end and we officially took our little trip to La Quinta. Whenever we return from a trip, no matter how small, I always feel like we conquered some big task. I know, I know. Vacations aren’t supposed to be a task. But when you add up…
This week felt ultra-productive, any guesses why? Well! I got dressed and left the house exactly twice to get my hair done AND go to a doctor’s appointment. Haha. If you’d asked me in the before times, that would’ve been a really slow couple days, let alone week. The doctor probably also felt like a…
Even when I don’t have much to say, there is nothing better to me than a quiet morning after a good rain when I can sit down with my laptop to write at my desk. We have old beautiful windows that let in just enough sunlight and shadow to dance on the walls and illuminate…
The week has been like many others of the past year: somehow so busy yet so boring at the same time. We got a glimmer of hope in the news hearing that Disneyland and baseball stadiums would be allowed to open in April, as long as the numbers stay low. While they’d only be allowed…
Behind the blog scenes, I’ve been trying to work on my rough drafts throughout the week to have a post ready for publishing on Saturday or Sunday. But today, I had to start from scratch. I haven’t felt pulled to write publicly these past several days, even though I’ve been journaling regularly in private. One…
I honestly wasn’t even sure this boring week was worthy of an update. While much of the country has been in winter turmoil, our days in sunny Southern California have been uneventful and predictable at best. And while normally, the monotony drives me bonkers, I can also recognize when boring is a good thing. We…
