A Decade? Really?!

When people talk about the 50′s or the 80′s an image usually jumps to mind of what that means. Like poodle skirts or shoulder pads. But what a decade really is is ten years of a person’s life. Ten years.

I would say that 2000-2009 marked my first full decade as an adult. I [...]

The Best Laid Travel Plans

I wasn’t looking forward to coming back to the swamp to stat with. It was really, really nice being back in Canada this time. I miss it a lot.

Then you add in the sudden “heightened security measures” and I really wasn’t looking forward to it.

We got to the airport three hours before [...]

A Wee Bit Crazy

My brother got a new truck today, so we piled in and went for a drive. There’s a big new mall just outside of Calgary, that people had been telling me about, and this was our destination.

There were certainly a few flakes of snow floating around before we left the driveway. But, whoa [...]

Making Wursties

For breakfast on Christmas morning, and usually for many mornings before and after, we eat worstebrochen. (I have no idea if that is spelt correctly – it’s supposed to be Dutch.) Wursties are ground beef and pork spiced with nutmeg, and wrapped in bread dough and then baked.

And when it comes to making [...]

A Dream of A Home

The prompt yesterday for Holidailies was Your Dream Home.

This is kind of a timely topic, what with my being homeless and all.

My perfect home would be warm, and open, and beautiful, and welcoming. It would be snugly on a cold winters night, and open and airy in the summer.

I have [...]

Five Years and Plenty of Football Later

The prompt yesterday for Holidailies was Five Years Ago.

Five years ago I had just moved to Mississippi. I had an unchallenging job in a backwoods town, and I wasn’t even 30 yet. I bought a house with a swimming pool, and had friends next door. I got back into acting and work a [...]

Not A Sugar Rush

When did you get your best rush of the year?

And this is where I prove how big a nerd I am.

One of the biggest rushes I got this year was from attending a social media workshop this fall. I left there buzzing with ideas, and potential, and the need to [...]

A Tiny Bit of Decorating

What’s the best change you made to the place you live?

I suppose this will have to pertain to my current living quarters, and not the house I sold in April.

The best change I made to the space was to bust out a comforter I’d been saving for my new [...]

Winter Sunday

We went and had brunch with my grandmother today. She was a little overwhelmed, and sometimes left the conversation, but it was so good to see her. She was looking well. She’d had her hair done. And she was very excited to have us all there.

After we got home, my brother came [...]
