my journey, destination unknown

When we downsized from our beloved Pine Lake house into a condo on the Decatur Square back in 2011, I thought that we had come to the end of our home improvement projects. And, for the first year in our condo, we didn’t do too much beyond a couple of painting projects. When we moved…

Thrive!, Project 43 and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. February’s main theme was Social Networks. I’ve made a…
Back to school (at an earlier time) and work. Very busy day of getting item after item done. Carpool, two trips to the store, library, dinner cooked, picking up Chloe. Rob got home as Camille’s cookies came out of the oven.

One of the reasons we chose to leave our beloved Pine Lake and move to downtown Decatur was for the walkability. While it is lovely to walk around Pine Lake on the many trails, it was almost impossible to walk anywhere other than the post office. While I don’t walk as often as I should,…
This year, as last year, Chloe’s meets are in the first few months of the year from January to April (next year they will probably be in the fall). While we have a basic calendar of when her meets will be, we only know which weekend. We don’t know until about a week before whether…

A couple months ago, a friend asked if I am finding myself with more “free time” now that my girls are both in school. That question quickly stopped me in my tracks. Surely, I must feel as though I now have more time for myself with the girls both in school, right? So why do…
We celebrated a few week 5 holidays, including Chocolate Cake Day, Corn Chip Day and Croissant Day. Coming up this week: 3: Carrot Cake Day Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. – Jim Davis, the creator of “Garfield” Carrot Cake Cupcakes 4: Stuffed Mushroom Day…
Still learning about time lapse. This one is a little TOO slow. Like watching a pot boil. This one is a bit faster, the snow is gone, but the sun does set! Yesterday was such a quiet day here. While I know how much our businesses depend on the traffic, I enjoyed the slowness of…
A few weeks ago, I read a short column in Time that left me all mumbly and grumbly. The “research” alluded to in Paper, Plastic Or Neither had me fit to be tied: One study found that a cotton tote must be used at 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Well,…
I have much to learn about time lapse photography, but this was an interesting exercise for me to attempt! The Atlanta metro area is a mess. People are still stuck trying to get home after spending 7+ hours to go 20 miles.
