I’ve defeated other addictions in the past (that is for another post. Or maybe not.) I will say that sugar is the hardest addiction I’ve worked to conquer yet, as almost everyone around me partakes in it. It is so ubiquitous.… Continue Reading

Homemade Honey & Almond Facial Scrub
Although I haven’t tried it yet, it would feel like a super luxurious spa day if I were to use this as a whole body scrub. I also want to try it over my entire back, where my skin tends to be a bit neglected. It could be applied with a back brush. I’ll just have to have my husband hose me off in the backyard when I’m finished. Just kidding. I’ll risk a hot shower.… Continue Reading

New Years(ish) Front Room Spruce Up
In my last post, I mentioned the piles of stuff I’ve had to deal with lately. Here are photos of the state of my front room, taken a couple of days ago. I finally got up the gumption to straighten up the room. I took down the tree, organized the ornaments, and wound the lights… Continue Reading

Baby Cravings
So, I’ve been wanting to have another baby. Even though the hubs and I have taken fairly permanent measures to prevent this, I can’t watch TV anymore because they are always showing cute, chubby-cheeked, snuggly babies on it. Maybe I should watch more of the Spike network. Pretty sure the only babes they show are of the scantily-clad, buxom, 17-24 variety. … Continue Reading

Let’s Go to the Snow!
Gryphon immediately began to wail the moment his hands touched the snow. I guess he hadn’t been prepared for its cold sting on his soft baby skin. My dad and I couldn’t help but laugh at this as I brushed the snow dust off of Gryphy’s icy little hands and slipped a pair of socks, the makeshift mittens I’d brought, onto them. As you can see from the photos, we don’t own much gear to properly outfit us for snowy environments.… Continue Reading

The Upside of Pain
Pain, in certain forms, can be viewed as a message from the universe, the Divine or however you relate to that infinite force (if you believe in that sort of thing) letting us know that some sort of change is needed. Silently, yet insistently telling us that we need to work a little harder at maintaining balance. Even if we don’t recognize it, at first, and it just feels like a major inconvenience.… Continue Reading

Upside Down Summer
I find myself getting teary-eyed and lump-throated. I want to go back to then, to a couple of months and a couple of weeks ago. When the promise of summer spread out before us like a luminous tapestry floating in the breeze, its edges disappearing into the fog that rolled in gently off the water, giving the illusion of timeless, eternal freedom.… Continue Reading

Time to Just Be
Back to my happy place. My sister is a magical creature (a diva in the vocal sense, not the self-involved sense) who regularly charms the karaoke room and has actually sang with a band on more than one occasion. If she lived in the town where she’d sang with the band, she’d probably be their regular vocalist. I can carry a tune, and my voice is decent, I guess, but I’ve always had a problem with projecting/ being heard when there are other singers/ musicians in the room. But our plan is me doing the guitar & backup vocals and her singing lead. She thinks we’ll be famous- I don’t care. I’m in it for love of music and for fun. Oh yes. One more thing. I only know how to play one song. I never expected it, but my sister Melody is my #1 fan.… Continue Reading
