The clouds and wind came rolling into town tonight. I caught some of the show using my time lapse gadget …

celebrations: week 7 (12-18 feb 2013)
Again, not such a great week for our celebrations … between traveling and all the work with the new home, we’re not left with much time for the extras. I think we’ll be settled in the new place in a week or two and be ready to get going again with our resolutions and traditions…
we’re moving – again.
As I’ve mentioned here and there, we’re moving again. It was only about 16 months ago that we moved here to our condo and now we’re getting ready to pack up once again. This move is going to be very different from our last move. We don’t need a moving truck. We don’t need to…
Preparing for the President
Our little city, Decatur, GA, is busy getting ready for President Obama’s visit tomorrow!
celebrations: week 6 (5-11 feb 2013)
The worst week so far this year in my resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my! . Between closing on a new condo and going camping, I didn’t have much time to plan and prepare extra celebrations. We managed to have Nutella Banana Bread, eat Hershey’s, eat peppermint aptties and have fortune cookies. Not a…
celebrations: week 5 (29 jan – 4 feb 2013)
As I wrote in resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my! , we’re taking a little more time for celebrations. The girls love them, and having a guide helps me try out new recipes and do more off-line crafts. 29 (National Puzzle Day): The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there…
end of an “era”
Today I am walking around with a heavy heart. Five and a half years after we moved into our beloved Pine Lake house, almost six years since we first saw it, it now belongs to someone else. Despite now being free from maintaining the house and the financial burden, I am having a hard time…
things i like: doctor who scarf
My girls got there long before I did, but slowly but surely I’ve become a Doctor Who fan. I enjoy the newer shows, but with time, I bet I’ll start to enjoy the older ones too. Camille knit this lovely and VERY long scarf for me a few months ago — now if only our…

face-to-face with a coworker
I’ve worked from home since before I had a job. My final year of grad school I completed at a distance of fifteen hundred miles. And when I started my first job a month after graduation, my boss and office was almost three thousand miles away — I did spend my first month in the…
gymnastics meet!
This past weekend, Chloe ahd her very first gymnastics meet! And, luckily for her, it was at her gym, so she didn’t have far to go or use equipment that she’s not used to. While I arrived at the gym around 7am, Chloe didn’t need to be there until after 10. Her coaches performed magic…

Project 41++ aka Project 42
Tomorrow, I will turn 42. I will be a day where I am “out of my comfort zone” for most of the day, so I’m not sure how happy it will be. I hope that I will have a little time for some reflection, but I have a feeling being stuck in a loud, crazy…
things i like: colorku
While I’m terrible at buying gifts, my sister is pretty darn good at it. For Christmas, she got Chloe his lovely game, Colorku. The concept is quite simple — sudoku in color! Tons of fun and a different way to see sudoku puzzles! Colorku from Mad Cave Bird Games

things i like: my new camera strap
For years now, I’ve wanted a longer camera strap. Being “well endowed” and ALSO loving to take “from the hip” photos, the straps that come with camera bodies are far too constraining for me. Looking for solutions for this problem, I found one that makes me very, very happy…. Camera Strap – Fun Striped Print…

things i like: deathly hallows necklace
I’ve been wanting this “Xenophilious Lovegood” necklace for years. I was not thrilled with the idea of getting it from a company in China. THen I remembered Etsy! Yes, Etsy… Witha little surfing, I found an artisan in Texas who makes the necklace I wanted — I spent a little more, but I don’t mind….
resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my!
It is January 1st once again. And as generally happens at the start of the year, I am making resolutions, or reaffirming resolutions I’ve made in the past, whether I’ve been successful with them or not. My resolutions evolve occasionally and are part of my live fully life goals. This year, I decided to ask…

Phelix and I went out for a walk at 7am. We are in the trees and down get a sweeping view, the sky was just lovely to watch nonetheless!
