We thought we wouldn’t need a new stove. But upon closer inspection, it became clear that if we didn’t want to live on frozen dinners, we were going to have to take the plunge. It was not an easy fix — moving gas lines, cutting cabinets, cutting counters. It was messy! Plus the newfangled models [...]
It’s not unusual for me to feel a bit overwhelmed with deadlines, projects, and life in general. After all, I’m well practiced at handling being ridiculously over committed. Over the years, I’ve honed a few skills and habits that help ease the stress: Conquering email clutter Taking breaks Delegating Saying no to noise and needless [...]
I can always count on my friends to nudge me towards this millennium in terms of music. I’m always looking for new tunes – music is my ULTIMATE moodbooster – along with coffee, rest, and flowers. It is what nudges this reluctant exerciser to actually sweat. It is what reminds me to breathe. Music is [...]
Well, it seems that you all have nudged me forward a couple of decades in terms of music – and I thank you…. I do love Pink, although I’ve never had any of her music on my iPod. The fact is, I don’t think I’ve updated my music since the spawn moved out. I really [...]
Sometimes we just gotta turn it up and pick up the tempo. This is one of those days. I like to sing along to this, but I don’t really know what she says. “I say, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah, something something hurt.” <guttural sound> <Repeat & Enter Kick [...]
I’ve been breaking a sweat in the new home gym and have surprised myself. I CAN workout sorta hard on my own. Gotta say, it feels good! The BF+ and I haven’t really worked out together…. We’ve sorta crossed paths working out, but I’m careful to not get in his way. He is very focused [...]
Poor little vintage Whirlpool. I’m sure you were glorious in your day – you fancy-little-drop-in-vixen. But your days at the farm are numbered. You will be replaced with a newer model with gas burners, a continuous grate, AND a warming drawer. I know, you must be thinking, “What would SHE need a warming drawer for?” [...]
I’ve been contemplating this post all week. After all, we’re embarking on our new chapter shacking up on the farm. Of course there’s Our House by CSN, and although I have been feeling very sentimental about this change, it seemed a bit sappy. Love Shack came to mind, but that seemed a bit predictable too. [...]
These pictures require just a few words…. Moving day has come and gone. But the pictures will last forever. My team from Meathead Movers KILLED it! Johl, Thomas, and Matt were upbeat, helpful, and accommodating through the entire process. Despite the rain, stairs, hills, and SPIDERS, they hustled the entire time and never let on [...]
Today’s the day. The Meathead Movers are coming. On this brand new day I will say good by to my little bungalow — my precious little gem that I bought all by myself as a single mom. It’s the home where I raised my son and danced with him in the living room. It’s the [...]
