  • 7QTs organizing

    Joining in with Kelly and friends to wrap up the week and chat a bit about organizing. It has been one full week into my promotion and since I have been essentially doing the job for quite some time (now I get compensated for it) I didn’t think it would be much different.  And yet,

  • The Day After

    At work yesterday, I tuned into the news in time to see our 45th President sworn in.  It was a dreary weather day (in D.C.) and aside from protestors who chose to vandalize businesses and personal property, along with a burned limo, the transition of one leader to the next was peaceful.  What a glorious

  • Weekly wrap

    Friday and checking in with Kelly and all the Quick Takers! What a week.  (dont’ we say that every week?)  but really.  Whoa.  Hubs had a conference last weekend that had him out of town on Friday-Sunday.   He then turned around and had a work conference Tues-Thurs.  While solo parenting bigs is a LOT

  • Fluffy fiesta

    Today was the day, kids:  weigh in. Which, of course, means that last night was my “last supper”.  Because clearly I’m not fluffy enough, right? And……………….Hubby out of town.  Girls out of the house.  Boys out of the house.  Just me and the dog.  Sign 1.  “Go home” Perhaps I should have taken it as a

  • Well.  It finally happened.  One week into January and it actually got COLD here in Florida.  High in the 50s yesterday and looks to be about the same or a bit cooler AND windy today.  Needless to say, there is a level of confusion here in the South when it gets “cold”.   With a

  • The usual link up with Kelly (and you really should check in and follow her update of hosting Bart and Lisa–God Bless you all,  that’s a task I don’t know that I could handle). It’s Friday and Christmas is in two days.  On a Sunday.  In our working world, I will tell you it’s been

  • Plans

    We went to a friend’s house for a Christmas party the other night and this is in their foyer.  THIS verse.  This is MY verse.  OUR verse.  The verse I clung to in the darkest of nights and continue to cling to as I watch this amazing life unfold before me.  Living out this very

  • We wait

    4th Sunday of Advent.  So exciting!!  Mass this morning was a little like purgatory, just seemed a little chaotic and OFF and the music minister just really enjoys playing ALL the verses for the songs—I love music, but it should ACCOMPANY  the Mass and be a lovely accessory to the Main show….you know,  the Eucharist.
