Not so ahhhh

So we are 22 days into 2012.  I’ve been trying to focus on my word restore and to try to make my life changes. I can truly say I have not done anything restorative in these 22 days.  Some friends have relaxed-spa, nails done etc. Not really my thing.  I’ve been to church all Sunday’s [...]

Dentist- 1/2 off

Okay, I have a major pet peeve.  Why do I get groupons and living social deals in my email about dentists and teeth whitening?  Really do people actually go to a dentist based on the deal they can get?  I mean I think dentists are doing fairly well, at least mine is.  They told me [...]

This I believe

I believe in books.  I believe in reading and always having something in your hand, car, purse, bedside table to be reading.  Magazine, books, kindles, blogs- you name it, if it has words it can take you places.  Books relax me.  Books helped me to escape and imagine and dream when I was growing up [...]

Life in the slow lane

I used to live on an island.  And yes life on an island is all about going slow. We had jobs and bills and issues like everyone else, but when you live on an island you know how to relax and how to socialize and how to not sweat the small stuff.  When I came [...]

I think I can

I went skiing last night.  I usually go a few times a season. I went with my friend and her cousin, while our kids did snowboard lessons.  I’d be lying if I said I don’t get scared and nervous skiing.  I used to ski when I was younger.  Then I stopped for about 16 years [...]

What does your home say about you?

This prompt was from plinky.com My home says warmth and family and love.  My main room is a long living room/office combined that we painted a rich burgandy color.  Some people have told me it’s a daring color, but to me it says warm and welcome.  I sometimes feel like I should have pineapples everywhere [...]
