2 Years

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 [...]

Oops!

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 [...]

Joy Infection 2

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 [...]

JI1: Unexpected Joy

Today is the first prompt from Joy Infection. Catriona asks: Write about a time that something unexpected brought you great joy, particularly if it really cheered you up! I actually have a very recent instance of this. I was feeling rather bummed about my birthday as I had blogged on the day. I spent the [...]

Spreading Joy

I’m going to be participating here in my own Joy Infection meme. I would love for more people to participate in this meme. The idea is to write about the little things that bring you joy and therefore spread the joy throughout your sphere and help everyone to uplift their mood a little at a [...]

Rate my Life

I saw this on a friend’s livejournal and just had to give it a go. This Is My Life, Rated Life: 5.9 Mind: 5.9 Body: 5 Spirit: 6.8 Friends/Family: 6.5 Love: 9.1 Finance: 5.9 Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Self Portrait Sunday

…on Monday. What gets me about this is that I actually took the picture on Saturday! Then I still forgot to post it. Ah, well, here it is: I know my expression is a bit funky, but it took me a billion tries to actually get the pumpkin in the background…so once I finally had [...]

Renovation and Family Update

I finally found the picture I was going to post last Sunday: Which I think is really cute even if I do say so myself. Roomie and I are planning on dyeing hair over the weekend, although I actually got compliments at the grocery store during the week from the people who were operating the [...]

Four Foods on Friday

I remembered! I like participating in Val’s Four Foods on Friday meme but I keep forgetting and it’s very irritating to me that I do so. I love reading everyone else’s recipes and tips and tricks for getting by in the kitchen. This cooking thing is still pretty new to me. Anyway, on to the [...]

Self Portrait Sunday

It’s been a busy day. I went up to Gainesville to get my friend for a visit, and we’ve been pretty busy running errands since we got back, but I thought I had time to post a quick portrait, given I missed last week. I think it’s time to re-dye my hair, it’s fading out [...]
