Three Days On

Three days on. One day off. One day on. One day off.
Start over again.
The second day off is Christmas.
I can’t begin to say how wonderfully lovely the atmosphere has been lately at work. I mean that with my whole heart; no sarcasm here. It’s been stressful because of the photolab not working, and stressful because [...]

Just Ask Me

When Rob is being silly, he’ll say something like, “Me being silly? Naaaaah. I’m not silly. Just ask me.”
“Rob are you silly?”
“NooooooooOOOOoooo.”
Riiiiiiight.
We saw Mindy on Monday. We took her for an ice cream cone and walked around town for an hour. We decided ahead of time that we’d give her whatever she needs for school, no strings [...]

Wish My Sister George…

Anyone remember on Bugs Bunny cartoons when he’d sit down at the piano and say with a cheesy grin, “I wish my brother George was here”?
Whenever Rob captures me playing piano, I always say that line, only this time he only caught the end of it. This is quite a rusty rendition of “not my [...]

On Saturday was my cousin Jay’s wedding. This is a pic of my sis, me, and my cousin Regina. She’s 6 months older than Dotty and me, and we were very close growing up… the highlight of our evening was to see each other.

Owlie

The header today is a picture of Charlie, my cousin Ashton’s younger son. His big brother Willie calls him Owlie, and we got to see them in full, sweet baby regalia that they are, last night.
We went to my folks’ house last night and there they killed the fatted calf, as it were. We had a [...]

Grandmas Peonies

When I was a small child, my Grandma C would babysit us while Mom ran errands in town. We loved it, Grandma loved it, and I think especiall Mom loved it. When all the running was finished, Mom came back and she and Grandma talked and shared a drink: iced tea for Mom, black coffee [...]

Piano Lessons
My 4th lesson is tomorrow. I’m a little nerved up because I wasn’t able to practice as much this week. My teacher is awesome though, and I heard from her sister (my aunt) and from her mom that she loves me “to pieces” and “wishes all her students were this dedicated.” So yay. I [...]

Interview With The Vampire

Oops. I meant interviewed by Jes, from Chirky.com
Are you left-handed, or right-handed? Do you wish you were the opposite?
I am left handed. I was completely ambidextrous until the age of 6, when my meannie 1st grade teacher was angry that I wouldn’t commit to a hand. She told my mom she’d be forced to make me repeat [...]

10 - Number of medications my dad is currently taking on a daily basis, several doses per day. Dad had an appointment with his Spinal Cord Doctor on Tuesday. The doc said my parents need to be getting exercise, lest my dad have another heart attack (his first was 12 years ago). I am thankful [...]

I’m working tonight, so that means this morning is a freebie. I should be cleaning house and working on a blanket I’m crocheting for my mom, but alas, no. I’m here with the lot of you, writing so that I can say I posted for today.
How’s about a laundry list?

I slept well. My new mattress [...]

Letters of Bereavement

Bullet Points

Today I am numb. Or rather, I have numbed myself from feeling the pain of loss. I am going through the motions just fine, saying and doing all that I should. But in an odd way, I’m not present.
Thank you for showing Jesus’ love, all who have shared with me kind and encouraging words. [...]
