phizzy.
Not so much of a puppy anymore! Phizzy is six month old and bigger than Phelix. She doesn’t quite know how to handle her long legs and trips herself up often.

phelix.
Such a mess. But he’s our mess, and we love him.
two lives.
Two houses can be confusing. Definitely not complaining about it, but I do get mixed-up. The other day, we were looking for the baking soda. I kept saying “I just used it the other day!” Until I realized … I used it at the OTHER house. I’ve tried to equip both houses so I don’t…

ideas bigger than bandwidth
I have so many plans. So many ideas. So many things I want to do. But I seems to always lack the time and energy to do them all. At work, I say “YES!” because I really do want to do all the things. I’m always dreaming up new projects and ways to improve. Unfortunately,…
cooking
Since being back in Atlanta, I’ve only cooked a couple of times. For some reason, it is more challenging for me to cook while here as there are more people involved. Grocery shopping is more difficult. Mealtimes are no longer under my control. Plus, I’m here for only a short time, and I need to…
holiday cards
I suppose I’ve written about it a few times before…. What Season? Hello my name is Gwyneth and I like holiday cards Holiday cards done But I’ll re-iterate. I love receiving and sending holiday cards. Please keep them coming! I managed to get them sent out before Christmas this year, but the postal service has…
photo-a-day 2020
In the past, I posted a photo a day to picasa … the past few years I’ve sometimes posted a photo a day to instagram, but not always. Nevertheless, I am still taking a photo a day, more or less. Sometimes I cheat a little. If I miss taking a photo, I’ll take a photo…
planning
Goodbye 2020! Today, I completed my 2020 Passion Planner. When I purchased this planner last year, I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it (I’ve tried using planners before with no luck). Taking time out to not just write down my goals and steps to reach those goals, but also giving myself freedom to decorate…

He’s always looking for ways to get into trouble….
books in 2020
Another year, another long list! My goal was 120 for the year, and I got to 126 (plus three or four books that I re-read ….) I had thought that maybe with COVID, I’d have surpassed my 2019 count by leaps and bounds, but that’s not the case. I think work takes a lot of…
celebrate 2021!
Maybe it is strange to think about celebrations in these crazy times. I wrote about this five years ago, in celebrate! But maybe it is time to revisit why I continue with this silly project…. Now that I have been doing this for, oh, seven years, I have built up a list of holidays along…
