telling you
there are so many things to write/tell. I feel like purging and telling this blog all the things but I am unlikely to do them any justice. so I will tell you I finished a collection of short stories by Agatha Christie (Hercule Poriot) and I am convinced the books are so much better than… Continue reading
midwinter
here we are in midwinter. the weather has been so strange but predictable. everyone is settling into the new year as best they can after the winter break. Personally, I have been watching lots of kitchen nightmare’s on YouTube. I can’t really explain why but it makes me happy. I like both the American and… Continue reading
Proud
Lordy, this blog has felt like a lot of word vomit. like something gordon Ramsey would toss in the bin on kitchen nightmares (for blogs). Honestly, I would not blame him a bit about tossing it in the bin because it has felt like pulling teeth. However, I went back and looked at the archives.… Continue reading

I mentioned the photo dilemma to my resident computer expert and it is syncing issue that I don’t have the brain space to care about. that sounds silly but it’s true. I feel silly and ambivalent about technology. I can watch YouTube for ages and then I can barely spare a minute to look at… Continue reading
how you tell it
the birds are out today. so are the squirrels. I had a glorious few minutes of watching them drink from puddles on the deck. if only my computer and this blog could work in unison I would have photos to show. however, that is just not the case and I haven’t the mind to try… Continue reading
going slower than slow in a non aesthetic way
the truth that is hard for me to accept some days is that i am slow. things take time for me. i like complicated complex things (including myself) and it just takes more time than i would like to admit to do these things. yes, i can do things fast and hard and even do… Continue reading
