Back in September, Lynn Viehl gave away 10 ARC’s of her forthcoming novel, Evermore. I didn’t win one. She did, however, offer unbound galley copies to everyone who entered but didn’t win if they wanted one. What’s not to want? Of course, I greedily took her up on her offer … Continue reading →
It’s time for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Have you signed up or accepted your site user agreement for this year yet? If you’re a member of Forward Motion, we have a hangout already established, so stop there and check in. The site’s a little slow, you say? That’s normal … Continue reading →
I’ve been doing FlyLady for a little over a month now — we’re back to the Front entry and dining room. I think that’s where I formally began. Today I de-cluttered most of my kitchen counters. Boy does that feel good. Laundry is still on track. I remember to swish … Continue reading →
Quite appropriately, Saturday has rolled around again. I mowed the backyard as well as the front this week. Front yard mowing kept it in check. The backyard? Well, small dachshunds were beginning to disappear. I had to put a stop to that. Poor Notre Dame embarrassed itself again today on … Continue reading →
We do not have a happy ending. Please pray (or whatever you do that equates to that) for Bill’s wife and children. The authorities (think they) found his body this afternoon. I don’t have any details to share other than what will be on the news. I’d worked with Bill … Continue reading →
One of my co-workers has gone missing, and, today, the police used the Associated Press to put out a bulletin asking for help finding him. We are very concerned about him. He has a wife and two young children, and I can’t begin to imagine how horrible this is for … Continue reading →
It’s been a busy Saturday at the RandR. I got up this morning and mowed, trimmed, and edged the front yard. Then I did grocery shopping. I washed the bathroom rugs and Hershey’s doghouse rug. I swept a bathroom floor. I cleaned outdated stuff out of the refrigerator. I watched … Continue reading →
As you can see, I have returned. We did not secure a sink. We looked at several nice ones, but we have not decided. We did get two doors, though (yes, we needed them). Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, we walked the Southwest Swap Meet, hunting for ’46 Mercury parts. … Continue reading →
Yes, I’m going home for the week and won’t be hanging out here. We’re looking for ’46 Mercury, ’48 Ford, or early 50’s Jeep parts; touching base with the grandkids (and the older “kid” and spouse); and hunting a “new” kitchen sink. I’m not sure if a visit with the … Continue reading →
I’ve done the FLY Lady thing for a couple of weeks now. I probably am a perfectionist, but I’m not freaking that I don’t have the house 100%. I don’t fit into the BO (Born Organized) realm, but I’m not as cluttered as Jenny Crusie’s office either. Somewhere in the … Continue reading →
