It’s Monday and today has been going like many Mondays tend to go. A few nice things happened, but I’m overwhelmed with worry and stress about some business-related issues. I was talking to mom about it this morning and frustratingly, what she had to say didn’t uplift me at all. I pray a lot, but [...]

jumping in piles of autumn leaves
October 26, 2009 – 9:36 pm
I wish I was a kid again. When you’re a kid, you don’t care if your clothes get dirty, or if the leaves are damp, or that twigs will get stuck in your socks. You just jump. Jump.
WRWTW: Poi Dog Pondering
August 31, 2009 – 11:08 am
A week ago Friday night, my husband and i went to see one of my top 3 favorite bands: Poi Dog Pondering. They were playing at a little bar in Denver called The Walnut Room. It was Tim’s first time seeing them live, but he’s really begun to like them from hearing me play them [...]
rainbows
June 22, 2009 – 5:02 pm
The other night we were sitting down to dinner in the living room and I opened the windowshade to the most amazing rainbow I’ve ever seen. Obviously, it was more glorious than this, and my camera is awful at taking outdoor photos, but man, it was beautiful. And a few minutes later, it was gone. [...]
Simple Everyday Pleasures – Part I
June 2, 2009 – 5:00 pm
The other day, one of my Facebook friends commented “I love how the random, simple pleasures in life make people think of Tray. ” and that got me thinking about a series of Simple Everyday Pleasures posts on this blog. So here we go: line dancing in the privacy of your own home the smell [...]
lemons
April 21, 2009 – 9:31 pm
The first time I heard the word “lemon” negatively was when I was a kid…definitely under the age of ten. My gramma was complaining about a car she bought and she kept repeating “it’s a lemon” with such disdain. I couldn’t imagine how a car could be a lemon. With a lemon that big, imagine [...]
love love!
February 14, 2009 – 9:15 pm
Overdone, commercialized, too stressful…whatever. It’s about letting someone know you love him or her, whether or not he or she is your lover/partner/spouse. Share the love — it can only make you feel better. (And yes, I remember the times when I was alone, and yes, I was bitter, but I still gave my mom [...]
Sleep
January 9, 2009 – 12:29 pm
What’s Right With the Word? Sleep, falling asleep, sleeping, thinking about sleep, a nice warm soft place to sleep… This might be my new favorite website: Cute Things Falling Asleep. Be sure to check out the chick and this funny baby. I think this site is going to be handy, especially if you need a [...]
The end-of-year holidays
December 16, 2008 – 1:47 pm
It’s the end of the year, we wrap things up (figuratively and literally), we think about all the current year has brought us and we dream about what the coming year has in store. The winter holidays are not a burden, they are a joy. The celebrating and the gifts and the cards are all [...]
Heated car seats
November 17, 2008 – 10:53 am
We didn’t get them on purpose when we got our car; we just lucked out! Every time we get in the car and I have a bit of a backache, or I’m having a rough day, the heat on my seat is so soothing. And we realized the other night that they come in handy [...]
