February 16 Love Lingers
I took this picture because when I saw this scene, it made my heart stop. And then, when it started beating again, it broke. At the Pretty Place I told you about a few days ago, there is a very small graveyard. When I went out there the Monday after...
February 10 The Pretty Place
“Come on, and I’ll show you a pretty place, a place you can go to collect your thoughts when you must leave there.” This is the view from the van as I was leaving that place, after spending a bit of time there. I was so delighted ...

Did you know that smell is the most evocative of the senses? It is powerful. My Grand-dad has been dead now 20 years, and he quit farming 10 before that, but if I smell a sun-warmed field, I am instantly moved back in time. I am young again, and he...
Jan 30
January thirtieth found me back at the movies, this time for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. All day. I tell ya, I do love a movie, but it gets a little boring to see the same one six times. In a row. Six times. Anyway, Guitar Guy had dropped off hi...

January 28
No clue. Seriously. How sad is that? But apparently I was sitting in the parking lot of one of the local shopping centers, reading. For reasons unknown. To anyone. Even me. Grrrrr addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.midlifemusings.com%2F2009%2F02%...
January 27th
January 27th was my sister’s birthday. I spent the afternoon with a friend and then I came home to discover that sometimes one person posting one picture can lead to someone else posting this one: Just to record the true and actual state of a...
January 26
Ain’t that pretty? This is the inside of The Music Loft, which is one of the music stores in the next town over. I ended up there on the 26th, and thought it would make an interesting photo. As you can see, they have quite a selection of ele...
January 25
Some time ago, and I truly cannot remember how long it has been, God sent me a fleeting vision. In it, I was on the platform at church, singing, and GuitarGuy was to my right playing a red guitar, and I had such a feeling of perfect rightness in the ...
January 24
So, at the end of the day, I went to Wal-Mart, where I saw this sign for handy husbands. Gotta tell ya, I almost bought me one. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.midlifemusings.com%2F2009%2F02%2F17%2Fjanuary-24%2F'; addthis_title = 'January+2...
January 23
So, January 23rd was apparently an amazing day, and I took a picture of my new coffee cups. Actually, since it is now the middle of February, I have no recollection of January 23rd, and that is why I have started taking the pictures with my phone, ...
Jan 22, Day 22
This is a test. Dont judge me if it doesn’t work, hahaha! Total fail! Just sayin’ On the 22nd I spent the morning with my mom, shopping for apple themed stuff for her kitchen. We had a good time as we always do, and I picked up some fru...
Day 21 Train
On the 21st, I got caught by the train, but let me start where I left off about the snow day. We got up after a four hour nap and went out to start the van, which began to suck amps like mad after making an audible POP when the cables were connecte...
Day 20 Snow Day Slumber Party
Snow Day! We had snow, real snow! It never snows here! The kids had a absolute blast! In the early afternoon, the teens and I took off for Guitar Guy’s house for an afternoon of Prince Caspian and then a Bible study. He also made fruit smo...
Day 19
Oops, I had a hard time finding this one, becasue the date on it is the 20th! Nonetheless, I took it before I went to bed to symbolize the 19th. It was on this day that I pulled out some of my old cassette tapes and rocked out in the kitchen while ...
Day 17 Day 18
This picture is a very special picture. It symbolizes a future and a hope. In it, Aunt Lady, the oldest member of my paternal family is holding my cousin’s newborn, who is, of course, the youngest member of the family. He’s also the fi...
Day 16
On the 16th, I saw Paul Blart Mall Cop. Six times. It was a day both peaceful and intense, difficult and fun. Sometimes I sits in the movies and watches and sometimes I sits in the movies and thinks. I realized on this day that often we choose the ...
Day 15
On the 15th, I decided my desk was way too messy, and I should clean it up. SO I started. I did not finish it, and in fact, it got much much worse before I finally managed to get over there with a backhoe and excavate it. Over a week later. Just [...
Day 14
Lunch with a friend at PT’s Grill, before I ran off to work the 6 Family Dollar stores. Sometimes, when life is totally out of control, and it sucks the joy out of you like a vacuum cleaner sucks dirt out of the carpet, there comes a bit of no...
Day 13
So, the Leptovox worked, and I found the camera on my desk, under the top layer of debris. But cleaning it felt so good that I went ahead and finished it! On the 13th, I took the babies to storytime at the library for the first time ever. They had...
Day 11, Day 12
So, on Sunday, dh came home, and life kicked back into high gear. GuitarGuy and I had previously committed to a movie with the youth, and off we went. If you get a chance to see Fatal Flaw, do so. It is a life altering 25 minutes, I promise. Day 1...
Day 8, Day 9, Day 10
Well, it is indeed time to catch up on Project 365 like I said I was going to do. I guess it is time to give a small word of explanation for the hold up: I had to take dh to the hospital last Thursday, and that really through a kink in things. [......
Booking Through Thursday and Project 365 Update
It’s a week or two later than you’d expect, and it may be almost a trite question, but … what were your favorite books from 2008? I think my favorite books from 1008 were the Harry Potter ones I read and The Reincarnationist. I also read Creat...
Catching up on Project 365
Day 4 Bye Bye Christmas Saturday, we took down the decorations, and yesterday, most of them got taken back to the shed. The tree did not go out until today, because I was toying with the idea of buying a new box for it. I decided that was somethin...
Back to Normal
Today was the first day that has felt “normal” since October. My husband seemed in his right mind. I went shopping and bought normal stuff: a kitchen canister, a silicone spatula, new bed pillows. I found my hair creme at Wal-Mart and...
Some New Year’s Day Thoughts
So, as I was going through my feedreader this morning, I saw this from Booking Through Thursday: Happy New Year, everyone! So … any Reading Resolutions? Say, specific books you plan to read? A plan to read more ____? Anything at all? Name me at lea...
From my head to my toes
Lately, I have decided I like being a wee bit taller. Apparently, I have a more “confident stride”. And also, women scowl and men snap their necks as I walk by, though I doubt the veracity of that latter bit. Anyway, I’ve begun t...
