Thoughts: Electronic Entertainment
I know. This is a highly charged subject. And one for which my own thoughts and opinions have fluctuated. One reason I am a huge fan of family trips is because it gives us common experiences and memories. These help bind and unite us as a family. On that note, I am not a fan

This is taking too long — I’m still recovering from sciatica… I hope to be up and traveling soon!! But … I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites from the week: Road Tips for Families: Guest
Happiness Project: May – Diet
Yesterday, I declared the start of my Happiness Project. For May’s topic, I chose “Diet” as that has been an area I’ve been concentrating on recently anyway. Since I’ve already started working on it and I’m getting anxious to get going on my project, “Diet” is going to start right now. At the moment, my

Mondays are for Dreaming: VW Poptop
Oh yeah. I’ve dreamed about this since I was four years old. I knew very little about the world, but I knew I had to have a “pop-pop” (according to my mother). My parents disappointed me; they bought a VW van — a plain one, no popping involved. In that van, we took a long
My Happiness Project starts today.
Actually, I’m sure it started even before I started reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. This year started out with me deep in my mid-life crisis. What did I want to do with my life? What matters to me? What is my life about? Is this really the life I’ve chosen? As the year

Photo Friday: What a Name!
Last weekend, we staye at Indian Springs State Park which is located in the unfortunately named Butts County. Fortunately, it appears that the residents of the county take the name in stride! This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
What would you do in a Happiness project?
It has now been a couple weeks since I read The Happiness Project for the first time. While I can recognize that I have, in fact, been doing my own version since turning 40 in January, I think I’m ready to give my project a little more structure similar to what Gretchen did in her
sheep to shawl – 16 apr 2011
We headed from STITCHES South to “Sheep to Shawl” at the Atlanta History Center — a very fiber-y day! We watched the sheep being sheared, too some of the wool, washed it and carded it too!
Camille takes charge
A little less than a year and a half ago, Camille picked up knitting needles for the very first time. Little did I know that she would become not only the owner of an Etsy store (Camboodle) but also, from what I’ve seen, the youngest attendee at STITCHES South by at least fifteen or twenty

U-Joint – 14 apr 2011
As I’ve mentioned, Thursday is my very least favorite day of the week. It starts out with me being on a conf call while getting the girls out the door and to Decatur for classes. Then 4.5 hours in the kind of building that drives me nuts. Add in the library and an hour in
another goodbye.
Today’s goodbye is being said to soda. Diet coke and Fresca, I will miss you. I think I had the equivalent of FOUR (or was that FIVE?) cans of diet coke today alone. At lunch today, the topic of soda came up. I admit, I drink far more than my share of diet soda. I

Planning a Trip: Step 2 – Fix Most Restrictive Parts
