Four. Two. Five.

I just noticed that I have 424 posts. [Didn't know I was keeping track, did ya?] If I think of something to say, I will have made it to 425. I told myself that when I got to 400, I would do something with it all. But that didn't happen. I wonder what my next target should be?

Maybe 500. The 500th post should have something really significant in it. Maybe an announcement of some kind. Winning the lottery? [didn't get a ticket] Having a baby? [not this month]. Tried a new recipe? [not likely to happen anytime soon] Moving? [now we are getting closer]. New job [Check].

I'll have to think on it.

For now, I will say that I have had a wonderful weekend.
  • I reclaimed the role of soccer mom [have to remember to hoot and holler straight ahead, instead of into my husband's ear...I think it was the h/h that helped the team win though].
  • I got a bit of housework done [long overdue].
  • I had tea with a friend [spontaneous and special].
  • I uncovered some of my daughter's special things in the process of packing [including a baby blanket specially quilted for her by my dear friend who is now enjoying heaven].
  • I watched movies [Duplicity and Catch and Release - although I fell asleep in both].
  • We enjoyed a family meal tonight made by my #2 son [crepes with different sauces and whipped cream].
  • I had fun shopping for food with my husband [we came in under my projected cost].
And now, I am readying myself for the week. It will be busy for sure. But I'm determined to take it one step at a time. I started by getting more books on CD's to listen to as I drive back and forth.

I hope dear cyber reader, that this weekend you have found some treasures to take with you into next week. Until next time, that's it for the


Four. Two. Five.

Wouldn't have missed it for the world

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? Those dark eyes turned blue and the black hair turned blond, and too quickly, this little guy grew taller than his dad and me. Today, it is eighteen years since that bright, blue-skies February morning when he made his debut. It has been eighteen years of many wonderful memories. Very early, I heard him chuckle at his sister's antics. He used to crawl on his belly, pulling himself along with his elbows. And when he was learning how to eat solids, he would say "mmmmNummNumm" as he ate, making the heart of the cook soar (even though it came from a jar). There was the day that I told him that if he sat and watched too much t.v. he would become a couch potatoe. He switched the t.v. off, and proceeded to inform me with little hands outstretched, and sincerity in his voice, that if he played too much Lego, he would become a Lego blueberry. And the Christmas season when we were doing Advent activities. He was drawing a picture of the ...

I decided to make March my month to release the expired. So far...   I have thrown out all makeup with less than one drop in the bottom of the jar.    I finally dumped the cauliflower in cheeze sauce I made for Christmas dinner.      I threw out the Pepto Bismol from 2010 - not even opened. It feels good to be rid of them.  It also makes me happy that I won't have to worry about bacteria in old makeup   And that my husband won't get sick from my cooking    And that my health has been good enough not to need the Pepto Bismol at all. Inspired by these events, I went through my closets. It is almost time to swap the winter for the summer.  My winter clothes seemed to have stood the test of time for now.  However, my shoes were showing major signs of wear.  I decided on two pairs that I need to say "Farewell" to. The corollary of getting rid of what is expired is that I now have room to add a couple new pairs. ...
