Experimentation

Change is healthy. Experimentation is healthy – to a point. I should be reading, scanning, working, cleaning. I’m not. Experimenting with plugins and organizing is more fun, though, the latter is being done more in my head than in reality. I am going back to the organized me, she comes and goes.

Let’s see how [...]

Kiva, a good thing

If you haven’t already read or heard of it, check out this article on Kiva.org. It is a wonderful idea that is growing. I gave, only a little, for now, but that little will be passed on to other businesses as it is repaid… the program makes it easy to just keep reinvesting in [...]

Self Abuse

Amazing that we expect everyone to fix our screw ups. It is not that we don’t also fix the screw ups of others, but that we repeat our own and not just once or twice. That is what makes it abuse, self-abuse. Whether we just procrastinate, talk ourselves into, “it can’t happen to [...]

Look how easy it is to be a part of sharing!

Stop! Are you thinking that to help Shelly get 6720 squares to have put together as afghans for the kids that attend Camp Sanguinity means you and your friends have to crochet or knit tons of squares, causing your fingers to go numb because of carpal tunnel, your children to be unfed, your husband to [...]

If I were. . . but I am. . . .

If I were a dog, I would spend my time digging to China and then sprawl in the coolness of the dirt I had just excavated, although I would not think the word excavate. . . .

If I were a cat, I would rule my household differently than I do now. I would [...]

Shh- I’m learning

I haven’t posted any brilliant or not so brilliant thoughts because I have been reading instructions, (and emailing for help) updating memberships in U-tube and Gabcast, reading directions, lurking (oops) and delurking and sending my brother info on contests trying to push him over into entering.

But, I’ve also been trying to read my poems without [...]

We Rave – Exercise Blog

Ok, y’all, this time the rave is for me! Woo Hoo! I love to exercise but I never think to do it, and even though I came up with a brilliant plan, it won’t be easy to make myself remember, even then. . so help is always appreciated!

I’m going to blog it. . . [...]

I have an Idea

It is to spend the entire day not reading poetry and words on blogs or writing more words than pages can hold.

It is to not think about where to find a dirt cheap house for our non-retired retirement years.

It is not to think about procrastination or consternation or deprivation or one nation or spaghetti [...]
