because you care....

my apologies to the few of you that i have kept waiting for so long...dear friend has been bugging me to blog. i think it might be because i was on her case...regardless, here goes....

no meaning to this blog whatsoever!

...i'm cold! it is crazy cold on the home front. i'm bundled up and dug out my slippers. i've added the flannel sheets and have even dug out my hat. i realize i really need some new slippers and never did knit the hat to match my scarf. maybe i'll start tonight.

...we had popcorn earlier this week. it was yummy, but i popped in great abundance. so tonight i melted my white chocolate and added some craisins and peanuts to the popcorn and stirred it all together. super yummy and half the popcorn gone.

...hubby has a birthday this weekend. he is such and incredible husband, daddy, and man. i love him deeply and look forward to celebrating his life.

...we are approaching 11 years of amazing marriage!

...i let princess paint my nails last night. she did a different color on each hand. there is a lot of bare nail and painted skin. however, i have no more fingernail polish remover. i'm thinking of trying to just add the darker color and see how that looks. i have not painted my fingers in about 5 years!

...i looked for dresses today. i'm going to a wedding next weekend. i wanted a decent fall/winter dress. they must not make dresses anymore!

...i bought my daughter her first christmas present. we try to stick to 3 presents and then i like to give jammies on christmas eve. i'm tired of buying junk...i love this idea and might give it a try this year.

...princess told me she was in love tonight!!! umm.......thankfully it is only a love affair with strawberry milk!

...fall is my favorite time of the year!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
