Two years ago today we signed the mortgage paperwork on this house. I felt it auspicious that we were signing the paperwork on the Solstice, and despite the rough times we’ve been through with money and health, the house has always remained, a great comfort and great shelter.
Slowly and surely we’re getting used to [...]

I realized that I didn’t update about B.F.’s condition. Here I am about to get distracted by weight loss supplements and not actually do that, so I thought I better get to it. Especially as I have a lot of other things to do today. We’re having a cookout, a lot of friends and family [...]

The Joy Infection prompt for this week is: “Something small which has brought you joy”
For me this would have to be any number of things the munchkin does that are spontaneous showing of affection. The other day he climbed up in my lap and said, “Mummy, I love you,” and snuggled down on my chest. [...]

Today is the first prompt from Joy Infection.

Write about a time that something unexpected brought you great joy, particularly if it really cheered you up!

However, I am happy. The collar I’m sporting is actually part of my Valentine’s present. Hubbie got me the collar, and [...]

Hey look I remembered! We were sitting around talking and hanging out after my friend’s birthday party wound down and I suddenly realized that it actuallyw as Sunday today, so I stole Roomie’s camera and snapped a quick picture.

The guys find my expression hilarious but I wasn’t in the mood to snap a gajillion shots [...]

I saw this on a friend’s livejournal and just had to give it a go.
