Things are fine here. I’m still more tired than I’d like, and I’ve had a cold the past several days, but generally, things are well.  I’ve been keeping busy around the house when I’m not napping, which means I’m not at my computer near as much these days. There’s just so much to get done, […]
Where have I been? Well, in short, I found out why I was so exhausted and sleeping so many hours a day, and just not ready to share it with the world. Those of you out there that read my previous blog (some day the hubby will figure out where he backed it up and […]
Kiddo is very excited about Halloween as you might imagine. His preschool class went to a pumpkin patch yeterday; today they are trick or treating at the other classrooms, and then having a little party in the afternoon. I’ll probably swing by and help out and take pictures. Tonight we are heading over to my […]
The appointment went fine. We talked about my issues, tonsils, sleeping, lack of weight loss and so on. I filled out the paperwork so she can get my records from her old office (she changed locations, to a new facility), got a flu shot, and then went and had 47 vials of blood drawn. (well, […]
Normally, getting enough sleep is difficult for me. I’ve suffered from insomnia for as long as I can remember, and I usually get by on 4-6 hours of sleep a night. Lately though I can’t seem to get enough sleep. I’m crashing shortly after the kiddo goes to bed at 8, and then sleeping until […]
 Today was a busy day for the kidlet and I. We played hookey from preschool. We had a dentist appointment in the morning (both of us), and the dentist that I love is a 45 minute drive one way since we moved to SW Portland, so that took up most of the morning. After we […]
Yesterday was my nephew’s 5th birthday party. It was held at a local kids fun center called Safari Sams. It’s got a big climbing jungle gym, indoor minature golf, tons of games, and they serve pizza and such. I’d heard of it, but had generally avoided it, the way we avoid chuckie cheese. I knew […]
Even for someone as news-phobic as myself, its impossible not to realize that our country is facing an economic crisis.  The presidential election alone brings it into focus, and even I know of the culpability of the banks and the unsecured home loans that are dragging the economy to the ground.  Certainly I can’t fail to […]
When I haven’t crafted in a while, I get twitchy. Whether its scrapping and paper crafting, involved art projects with the kiddo (coloring just doesn’t cut it ;)) or even assembling a beautiful bento lunch, I just seem to need a creative outlet. We have an extra bedroom and it was once my computer / […]
It just doesn’t feel like fall. It hit me as the kidlet and I were hunting up fall leaves for a group collage project at his preschool.  Our neighborhood has been here for 30+ years, so the trees and such are quite mature, despite being in the middle of a city (well, I guess techincally […]
