Oh thank God!!! This is the last installment of #best09. I took this challenge to see if I could stick to a writing schedule. For the most part, I did. It’s harder than you think and really hard for me to write when I really don’t feel like it and sometimes I don’t. But, damn [...]
The BEST TEA CUP EVAH!!
Not only does it have a lid, but it has a built in tea strainer! Love!
You can get one here.
The subject for yesterdays #best09 was “best stationary”. Really? Do people still use stationary? I suppose they do. I do not. My form of communication is electronic. Although, I have an unnatural obsession with notebooks and journals and sketch pads and any manner of writing instruments…just not stationary.
So, instead a picture of the dinner [...]
The best breakfast of the year always occurs on Christmas morning. It is simply hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese (dutch/danish variety), rye breads, marzipan pastries and other dutch treats. This year was no exception, so I thought I’d share some of the pics.
Most of the in-town family gathers at my Mom’s house at 10am. If [...]
Merry Christmas…that is all.
Luckily, I love to learn.
Luckily, I am adaptable.

Patience. Lots and lots of patience.
Not always getting what I want…exactly when I want it.
Not being in control.
Being a single mom.
Not worrying about things or people I have no control over.
Letting things go.
Re-learning who [...]
Google Picasa
I posted previously about my photo organizing project. Picasa has been extremely helpful in this task. The downloadable, free software has face recognition, which helps categorize the thousands of photos I have. Eventually, I will also be able to upload the albums onto the web for storage and to share. Invaluable! Gotta love the [...]
Damn! I got behind and missed a few days. I did pretty good though, considering I did 18 days in a row. That’s a record. So, sorry, this will be a catch up.
12/19/09 – Best Car Ride: Had to be the fall drive I took with the girls up the canyons. I really missed the [...]
Best Word in 2009 – Stabby
Close runner up – Divorce
That’s pretty much it.
I’ve written previously about my niece (Pauline) and nephew (Charles) that are both currently serving in Iraq. Both are in the Army. Both are serving their 2nd tours there. When they were there in 2006, they were able to meet up around Christmas time. This time, it is not possible for them to meet up. [...]
Good lord, where do I start? First of all, I live in my sister’s house, while she lives with my parents to help care for my dad. Before I could change anything, or really even move in, I had to do a purge with the help of my pack rat (read: hoarder) sister. She was [...]
