Malfeasance
Definition: the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used esp. of an act in violation of a public trust). I am loving Lisa Madigan’s office right now. ...
Brand new day
Woke up this morning with a smile on my face. Why? I don’t know and that’s what makes it so special. I can’t remember the last time I woke up this way. It might have something to do with being in my new home. It isn’t grand,...
I have no good excuse.
I have no good excuse for the neglect I have shown this place over the past week. There hasn’t been any family emergencies. Professionally, I haven’t been swamped with work, just the usual. The kids haven’t been driving me crazy (we...
Monday Mumblings .002
This is my second attempt at Monday Mumblings. I started this so I would be forced to write at least every Monday. I have never been so stressed about writing in my life. Since I am not a professional writer I have never had a writing deadline. It ha...
I’ve been thinking.
My mind has been wondering lately. I can be right in the middle of a project and get totally sidetracked with a thought that has nothing to do with the current topic. This is not distraction, it’s just too much stuff going on right now. But I h...
Food Fact Tuesday .001
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won’t have to pick the little “stringy things” off of it. That’s how the primates do it. And take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the st...
Two trees, one story.
Stick with me. I swear this is a somewhat interesting story. Labor Day weekend we took a day trip with some friends of ours. Our goal for the day was to get to Cairo, Illinois so I could take pictures of all the old abandoned buildings (Check out my ...
Have I mentioned this before?
I’m dull. Utterly boring and disgustingly average. I don’t have any super powers. I’m really a horrible housekeeper. I never finish what I start. I don’t have great ideas when I’m sleeping and then wake up and scribble t...
Technorati
So after I saw this post from TheBloggess I had to know where I stand. Um my score is 4,985,346—not real impressive. Sigh. I will have to murder BUNCHES of people to even catch up to Jenny. (Read TheBloggess’ post and you’ll understand ...
Grief and Recovery
A few weeks back I wrote of being discouraged and uninspired. Yesterday I read a post of Maggie’s at okayfinedammit.com and it really hit close to home. She told of not being able to function; about how the world just stops for her. I think we ...
Let’s Talk About Patriotism
I’ve sat down to write this post at least three times and have never been able to really put into words how I feel. I have just decided to let the words flow, and if grammar isn’t proper, so be it. I come from a long line of military men ...
The List
Write a post for my blog. Pack Chas’ bucket. Two olive loaf sandwiches, one mandarin orange cup, one peach cup, two can V-8, string cheese, vienna sausages, two granola bars and a Twinkie. Explain the Economic Stimulus check thing to Chas. This...
All about Luc
My youngest son Luc brought it to my attention recently that I was neglecting him on this blog. It really wasn’t that I was neglecting him, it’s just that with the timing of starting this blog he wasn’t involved in any activities th...
Relaxin’ on the River
I could sit all day and watch the river gently roll by. That is what Chas and I did this past weekend. Saturday night we stayed at San Damiano on the Ohio River. I had a wedding to shoot that afternoon and met Chas down on the river later in the afte...
Good grief
Just look at this screenshot of my desktop. I think this is a good representation of how my life is right now-absolutely crazy. There is so much unnecessary crap on my desktop, and my life is filled with a lot of crap that I don’t need either. ...
Opinions wanted
New design of my blog. What do you think?...
Absent
I have been away for awhile. Not physically. I just couldn’t think of anything to write about. I have had a headache for five solid days. It has effected me both physically and emotionally. I decided to write tonight because I realized how piss...
Housework sickness
If I have sneezed once today, I’ve sneezed 150 times. Is it the housework I’m allergic to or am I getting a spring cold. I have a slight tingle in my throat and my nose is running, not to mention the sneezing. Now I am no Martha Stewart, ...
Getting to know me
I’ve always been a blog reader. Just recently I became a blogger. The one thing that I like about my favorite blogs is that I feel like I’m actually part of the bloggers life (a little). I don’t talk about day to day things like the...
Dealin’
Chas started day shift today, so he is home now. We’re watching Deal or No Deal. This proves just how different me and Chas are. He would take the first deal offered. I would play till the death. He yells at the contestant to take the deal and ...
Whole Lot of Shakin Goin On
Well we dodged the big one this week. Early Thursday morning a 5.2 earthquake rocked our world. The epicenter was up by Olney which is about 100 miles from here. Mom and dad felt it worse than we did, they are only about 50 miles from Olney. But my b...
Actions, actions, no action
Sunday the day of rest. Right. Sunday night is my time to get some serious work done. This Sunday has been no exception. After an excellent dinner at my parent’s house, we headed home and everybody just kind of vegged out on the couch and I hit...
Childhood
It wasn’t until I was in my late 20’s that I realized what a great early childhood I had. I have absolutely no bad childhood memories. One of the things I remember most vividly was waiting for my dad to get home from work. I would be peek...
