Supper Dilemma, Life Dilemma

by

I've been sitting here, staring blankly at the computer screen for an hour now, trying to think of something delicious to make for supper. See the thing is, we have plenty of food in the house. I'm just sick and tired of making the same sad rotation of meals, month after bloody MONTH! I seem to be lacking in culinary creativity. And I'm just not the kinda girl that's gonna flip through a cookbook ... [ Read More ]

Tilling!

by

The countryside is coming to life again! Our trees are budding, and you can start to see a faint shade of green in our predominantly brown yard. And I'm so excited to see what flowers sprout up in our flowerbed circling the house. It's like a mystery waiting to be revealed!We've begun to take strides in preparing for our vegetable garden. First things first... tilling up the earth!Any ideas for ... [ Read More ]

Country Living FAIL

by

If you all haven't noticed, I have a tendency to move from job to job. It's not because I'm irresponsible, I just keep trying to find my niche in life. Unfortunately, my only TRUE niche won't become a reality until my ovaries start firing on all 4 cylinders. But for now, I will find contentment in may lack-of-contentment regarding my career.In addition to my job at McFarland Clinic, I've ... [ Read More ]

Spring Haircut

by

As much as I love my man-boy's sexy snowboarding curls, the time has come to be a bit more professional again. People were starting to mistake him for the janitor at work, instead of the educated, trained professional that he is.That's actually not true at all. The janitor part.Observe, if you will, my amateur haircutting "skills"... or lack thereof.And then recall that we're on a ... [ Read More ]

Sy Sibs

by

I haven't been very consistent with my 'picture a week' endeavor, but as I'm bored on this sad, snowy Friday evening, i can't help but flip through pictures to pass the time until my better half comes home from training horses. At the risk of divorce, I just HAD to share this picture, because every time I look at it... I seriously crack up laughing. And that's a rarity these days. So in ... [ Read More ]

Future Garden

by

Because I need something to look forward to, I'm excited for spring in an absurd, foolish sort of way. On a scale of 1-10, my knowledge of vegetable gardening is about a 0. But between my mom and Google, we should have at least a few successful veggies over the summer. And if nothing else, my garden will keep me out of the house and my mind off my reproductive dysfunction. And it should save us ... [ Read More ]

It’s for the baby…

by

I haven't been the most pleasant person to be around as of late. And therefore have been pushing my friends away in an effort to spare them the negativity that emanates all around me. But it's more than just hostility... I genuinely feel like my life has been totaled, and it's hard for me to fake a good attitude. I would be a terrible waitress.This turbulence in our lives has brought Nick and ... [ Read More ]

Gretchen

by

As if I haven't cried enough tears in the last month, my companion and best friend of 8 years died this past Sunday, my kitty Gretchen. She moved with me from state to state, a total of 7 different addresses. She always sensed when I was down and would comfort me. She was always there for me. We both were always a little sassy... with violent mood swings. She was the cat version of myself.Thanks ... [ Read More ]

Little Rascals

by

My wild-eyed Siberian boy Otis is looking forward to summer just as much as the rest of us. He occasionally disappears for a few days at a time, but for the most part, you can pretty consistently find him in the wooden kitty shelter his dad made for him and Gretchen to get out of the winter weather and escape from the demon dog Reuben.It's a miracle they both fit in there ...

Dirty Girl…

by

Why is it that in the winter, I fail to maintain the tidiness of my vehicle(s)? I never thought about it before today, when I realized that: my backseat is FULL of random crap and garbage, and it only accumulates to this degree of insanity during the winter months. It's like I think to myself, "I'm so freezing so I'm just going to leave this piece of garbage in my backseat and make a beeline for ... [ Read More ]
