Share a beauty or grooming trick or tip with us.  I don’t do beauty and grooming tips… here’s one that doesn’t quite fit the bill.  It’s probably be better to call it a health tip:  When stress is building up in your neck and back, take a nice [...]

Well, Duh!

Now granted, I only heard a snippet… the stuff you get on the evening news.  But I’m really left to wonder what our new governor believes “checks and balances” are all about.

Early Birding It

Dear Heart came home at 6 this morning.  He’s very loud when he comes home.  I woke up to greet him with somehting along the lines of  “Good morning love… I heard you coming so I woke up to chat…”.  To which he replied something like ” Yeah, I’ve lost my stealthiness.”  This leads me [...]

It’s All About Education

I’ve been inspired to consider my “next year’s plan”, putting aside my planning for a group class and considering my own class first (gee, what a concept!).  Either way, I’m planning for next year… that’s who I am.  It can be problematic because I get excited about next year and loose all interest  have to [...]

Link Love aka Tipping

Yes!!  Snow, finally!  Well, actually for a couple of days now… but the children have had fun!  Can you say abbreviated school days?  Or perhaps rearranged school days?

Oh My Gosh!  What in the world are they going to mandate next?  If [...]

Didja Miss Me? :)

I’m still here.  I’ve decided the problem with the sign in must be with my computer because sometimes it signs in automatically, sometimes I have to change my password to do it.  Oh well… I just haven’t wanted to fiddle with it lately.  Other things to do.    In the end, I miss being [...]

Stuff and Bother!

OK… somebody out there who knows better than I do, explain this to me:
