I usually go for the scented wax melts so I bought myself some new ones and opted to use the pretty wax melter from my daughter. 

Must be something in the air! I didn’t have a nightmare, but went from sound asleep to wide awake about six times throughout the night. This has been a quiet day so far. And needs not to be. We (hubby and I) need to get outside and work on his car. We fixed one thing and several other problems popped up. We think that the new part we put on may be…[Read more]

I watched the clouds go from high up and fluffy white to low and dark grey with lots of thunder and lightening. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a drop of rain!

@nikki-massie, my list says that day 15 is sit outside and watch the clouds go by and day 16 is get yourself something fragrant. Is there a different list that I don’t have?

Two hour nap this afternoon at my husband’s urging. Today is my son’s big move in day. He and my DIL were up all night packing, getting ready for the movers today. We figure there will be a “please, please PLEASE come get Gabe out of our hair for just a little while!” phone call sometime tomorrow.

Today has been a somewhat crappy day and I can’t even tell you why. I woke up tired, I haven’t wanted to eat and I haven’t come close to getting my fluids in.

I did get my steps in, cuz that’s just what I do.

Breakfast/Lunch… part of a vanilla premier protein shake used as creamer in my coffee.

Dinner… leftovers

Early bedtime (if I didn’t…[Read more]

I stopped by the store on my way home from my support group and they were having a sale on roses, making them the least expensive flowers there! 

I know, I know! I haven’t been posting lately. Things have been somewhat crazy.

I have my support group meeting in Temple today which means a big chunk of time will be taken up. A trip to Sam’s while I’m there. (it’s across the highway from my meeting and a trip to the Sam’s in Waco takes as much if not more time to get to than the drive to…[Read more]

I have an addendum to my earlier post. The pick up has a blown head gasket (very bad news), a tow truck has been called. All the moving boxes have been loaded into my husband’s truck and they (and my son) have been delivered to the new home. Luckily, my DIL was there unpacking what she had brought in her car so my son has a way back to Killeen…[Read more]

I tried to take a nap today. Twice. And someone called me both times. So I decided that I was going to go to bed early. And the truck that my son borrowed from his father in law to move broke down on the interstate. So my husband has gone to help my son and I’m on stand by incase they need me to bring more tools, etc, out to them. I don’t think…[Read more]

List is started. Not always easy for me to see the good in myself, but it’s getting easier.

It was a short walk due to the humidity but a walk all the same! The crepe myrtles are in bloom and we’re not quite far enough into the summer that everything has turned brown from the heat! It’s all very green here at the moment! <!–more–>

Long hot shower with my favorite moisturizing body wash and favorite bath powder afterwards. Now to bed on freshly washed sheets!

Travel! I’d love to spend our retirement traveling with my husband. I’d like to visit all 50 states and Canada (already been to Mexico)

Affirmations all over my house. Three in the kitchen, one on each of the two bathroom mirrors, three on the treadmill and one on the door I go in and out of the most.

Kathy, I had forgotten about dry erase markers on the mirrors! That’s how I used to leave notes to my children. I’ll be leaving notes again, this time to myself!

Oh, I forgot…[Read more]

I spent a very pleasant couple of hours doing nothing but reading a book. It’s been a long time since I have had that much time to just sit and read!
