Queen of Rambles

A) Thanks for all the support about the sister issue. I feel like I do say terrible things about her, but all of those things are true (from my perspective). Our relationship is not a healthy one. We probably both should be in counseling. Too many hurts over the years, at least on my side. [...]

When I was at the playground tonight one of the moms asked me if Mike had told me about the fight at the playground. He hadn’t. I figured he just hadn’t had the chance since I was sleeping a lot of the afternoon and he was at work most of the evening. Apparently the lady [...]

I ordered my new computer! My old one is confined to the table until the new one gets here. I’m terrified that the frayed wire holding the keyboard/CPU to the screen is going to snap and everything will go bye bye. I think there is a way to hook a laptop up to a regular [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about my grandma, which makes me think about pie. She was a fabulous pie maker, always insisting on having one ready whenever she was expecting company. For special occasions she would make cakes, but her real joy was pies. Everything was made from scratch from the crust to the pudding [...]

You know it’s time to clean the bedroom when I can’t stop sneezing all night. Can you guess what we did today? Can this blog get any more exciting? Vacuuming! Dusting! Cleaning baseboards! Why am I not a reality show star? Mike mowed and cleaned up the backyard a little. He came in and asked [...]

It’s been a gloomy day out today, which is hard to believe when you are actually outside. How can it look so dreary and cold, yet still be hot enough to fry an egg? A very, very soggy egg? Mike has a new idea. He wants us to go out and explore some place every [...]

It’s Project Runway night! Not that I’m actually watching PR. I watched the All Star Challenge and now I’m going to bed. I’m too old for a 3 1/2 hour event evening. I actually spent a lot of time cleaning my house today. Shocker! And not very interesting. My car is still in the shop [...]

First, I finished a quilt! If you are interested in reading about it and seeing pictures, click HERE. I don’t know what to do about the blurry pictures. Stupid new camera. Second, I had to take a shower tonight because I was covered in cow slobber. Aren’t I glamorous? Our preschool group went way, way, [...]

I need to get to the library, pronto! I need the next book in the “Your [Insert Age Here] Child: Angel or Hellion?” series. I should look up four. *looks up book* Ah, thanks to the power of the Internet you didn’t even notice I was gone. “Your Four Year Old: Wild and Wonderful.” Wild, [...]

Thank you guys all so much for the e-mails and comments. You guys all mean so much more to me than I can even express. Sure, I have some real life friends and acquaintances, but to even begin to explain my life or what goes on in Oregon would be daunting. One of my friends [...]
