Lemonade Stands to Laundry {Life Right Now}

April 1, 2017


Beau to me after he didn’t feel so well after visiting the neighbor girls’ lemonade stand: “They did not have a permit.  I knew I shouldn’t have had any lemonade if they didn’t have a permit.”

Tonight Shane and I decided to go soda free at home for at least the next week.  It has been two hours and he’s starting to freak out.  We’ll see how soda-free Sunday goes.

I’m at a point in life when getting all the laundry done on Friday night is exciting. {Hmmm…}

Beau and I wear the same size Converse and he’s only a few inches shorter than me.  And he’s not even 10 yet.  How did this happen?

I need this.

We’ve binge-watched Goliath and Frequency.  Now what?

Recently a mother of five blatantly told me I should have more kids.  Puh-lease… You can have your five and I can have my one and all will be well.

Why isn’t Writing Down The Bones by Natalie Goldberg required reading in high school and college English and writing classes?

I want to try watercoloring.  And some sort of stitchery project.  In my mind I’ll excel at both. Reality is another matter.

Do stress and struggle breed creativity and provide inspiration?

Beasts & Ornamenting & Reporting {Life in Review: 7}

November 27, 2016


Thanksgiving was lovely as lways.  Good food and good family and lots of laughs.  And then we “played” Beanboozled. That is when things went a little south for awhile. And now I feel like detoxing my body until Christmas.

We saw Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. It was the first movie in the  Harry Potter franchise that I’ve seen. Yeah, I know.  I went into it knowing nothing about the story. Honestly, I know nothing about anything in the Harry Potter series.  Anyway, I enjoyed it, though I spent a lot of the movie thinking Samantha Morton looks a lot like Justine Bateman.

We opted out of the craziness of Black Friday shopping for the calm and quiet of tree trimming. I’d rather deal with having to share ornamenting with children than deal with people in line. And now our home is cozily decked out. Though Mary has come up missing.  {And I still do some nightly ornament rearranging.}

Christmas PickleAs usual for us, we ended this holiday weekend book reporting.  Sometimes I feel like it never ends.  This time a bio on Steven Spielberg.  Mostly it was anyway someone could do a report on Jaws.

For the first time this season I’m ready to turn on the heat.  If only everyone else felt the same way.

I’m still plugging away at reconnecting with my camera.  I swear I don’t know what happened. Sure it’s like riding a bike.  Riding a bike uphill, in a windstorm, in the rain.

I just got rid of a ton of books.  Maybe not a ton, but Shane says 300 pounds of books.  I have no idea why I held on to books that I either already read and had no intention of rereading or ones that I don’t want to read in the first place.  I hope they all find lovely homes.

Moon & Camera & Cotton {Life In Review: 6}

November 19, 2016


Super MoonWe had a Super Moon.  And as expected, it was super bright. Whenever it’s a full moon I remember when  was about 10 or 11, and my dad and I were driving home from out in the Atherton area of Novato.  We were on a country road talking about how bright the full moon was, and how people use it as guide.  Since it was just us on the road he turned off his headlights to show me.  I was awed and mesmerized by how bright the moon was shining down on us.  It’s funny those odd little memories that stick.I literally forgot how to use my camera.  I was looking at the controls I had customized and numbers on the dials like they were in a foreign language. Thank goodness it all came back to me.  Lesson learned: Use my camera more than once a year.

Going to the gym on Friday night makes the weekend that much better. For real. Yeah I’m exciting like that.

I’ve been itching to put up the Christmas tree all week.  I finally bought cinnamon pinecones so it’s starting to smell all Holiday-y.lrm_export_20161120_135416

I’m thinking about challenging myself to read only books I own.  I think it’s silly to set self-imposed limits like this, but it’s also silly having as many un-read books as I do.

We think Monkey might be part cat.  He leaps and jumps up on things like one. It’s amusing. Until he leaps on you as you’re going to sleep.

Cotton season snuck up on me this year. It’s my favorite season.  I love all the fields and crops here, but especially cotton.  They are building housing tracts and shopping centers right and left here. I wonder how many more years of fields we have.

I’m super excited for the short holiday week coming up. We could use more of them!
