Gold Plated...

So the Olympics are over. I wrote before that I didn't think I'd watch, that it was just too hard right now to be all rah rah rah USA. And I was right, it was too hard and I didn't watch. I, of course,

Jerk...

You know when you are on the edge of light sleep and deep sleep and you are dreaming that you are walking or running and you trip? That jerk that shakes your body because you haven't yet reached the deep sleep no moving level yet. And now you

Soundtrack of Your Life...

I read an article years ago about music and how the music you listened to during your high school years is basically the soundtrack of your life. That there is no other point in time that music is as important to you. Now I'm not sure if that&

Catlike...

Just a quick funny (at least to me) realization today. Brent and I joke that I am basically a cat. I have been reincarnated to the highest life form, a spoiled housecat. I do what I want, when I want. I know what rules are but not as they apply

Cover Ups...

Not the ones in our government. But hair. As I've told you I'm growing out my gray. I'm finally gray enough that it will look like I have gray hair instead of muddy brown hair. I'm excited. But hair only grows so

So Unoriginal...

I used to think I hated remakes. Like if it wasn't the original song I didn't even want to bother. Then I realized that often what I thought was the original was the remake and I liked it better. I had to admit that what I

Tidy...

The HOA sent the gardeners around to trim everyone's front bushes today. We had opted out in the Fall when they first said it was going to be done. But with the winter being what it was, and the workforce being what it is, the trimming got pushed

Random Collection...

A little housekeeping, a little random thoughts, a little blog. First off, I realized last night that I set my goal for reading incorrectly. I had in my head to use the background goal I had for the year before last, but instead I just plugged in the number of

It's All Political...

I've never had much patience for people who say they don't do politics. How can you not do politics? Either national, state, local, work or familial politics. We all do politics. But I do get the desire to not have to do politics. And I understand

Basically...

I might have written something similar to this in the past but a quick perusal didn't find it so... I'm basic. I like things that a lot of other people like. I'm not fancy or esoteric. I am the way I am, and now

Hate to Say I Told You So...

I never thought I'd have even an ounce of respect for Marjorie Taylor Greene and yet... It's been really odd to watch an entire party collectively shrug their shoulders and move on when they win. When they are right. When they told us so. I mean,

Who Are You?

Doing my workout this morning and the trainer said that how people talk about their workouts is one way of identifying who is going to keep working out. If you tie your workout to an outcome, like you are working out to fit into a pair of jeans, or you

Is It Over?

Okay, the horrors they persist but January is done at least. The month has been terrible in the US. So much shit. Like even more shit than we've been seeing every other month of our current shit show. Which is saying a lot. But as I keep saying.

Broken or better?

I had a dream last night where I was with a lot of the people I grew up with. We had a homework assignment where we had to make these collage books about our lives. (great stress dream, right? homework and people from my old church) I was flipping through

Would You Do it Differently?

I texted a friend this morning: "Listening to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Man, they'd be fun to see in concert someday." She sent me back a laughing emoji. See, it's funny because we went to a Me First concert together. I saw

Different...

I was listening to an album of mine today that might be the oddest album I own. Not like "oh I wouldn't expect you to listen to that" but like truly the music is odd. I looked it up and it's described as avant-garde

Well...

So how was your weekend? Great right? No bad news you can think of? For those of you who don't live in the US or might have missed the news; for the second time this month our government had us all watching snuff films taken from different angles

Challenged...

Technology is not my best friend. Anytime there is something new out there Brent has to drag me practically kicking and screaming to using it. I can tell you that part of it is the way my brain is wired, I like routines, I like the comfort of the same,

Very Clever...

My mother was a very smart woman. She probably wouldn't have agreed with that statement, deferred a little bit, but she was. Especially with math. I'm pretty sure I've written before about going through the grocery store and getting to the check out and

Now I Understand...

I've been thinking about my grandmother today. About both of my grandparents a little bit. About our times visiting Iowa. But a lot about my grandmother. When I was little we would visit Iowa every August. Prime weather, August in Iowa, let me tell you. But we would

ReCharge...

My Oura ring recommends that you charge it a little bit every day. Its optimal range is 60-80% charged. So they say pick a time daily and just put a little charge on it. I do it while I'm writing. Slip it off (or wrangle it off depending

Sanity Post...

Okay, you can back out right now if you want. This whole post is going to be about my crazy head around weight. I am going to write a bunch of things that everyone already knows but that I need to reinforce for myself right now. I'm not

PreVacation...

So, I did the customary pre vacation trying on of the bathing suits today. The good news is that I am not any heavier than I was when we last went to Hawaii in 2024. The bad news is that I am not the same shape as I was in

One Week Later...

The stories have hardened. Either you believe the ICE agent and our government or you believe what was on the recording. The latest thing the administration is trying is "leaking" to CBS "news" that the ICE officer had internal bleeding on his torso. This is supposed

Leaving...

So the 11th was my one year clean of Facebook and Instagram. And just like when I quit smoking all of those years ago I still miss it, even though I know it was really bad for me, for the people around me, for the people who keep using it.
