Visited with a friend today.

She’s in her 80s, I think. She told my daughter and I about her daughter, who was burned severely at the age of 3 and only lived 7 days afterward. It was the first time I’d heard the story and it was so sad, but she was so sure that God had a purpose for it.

Weird Dream!

My dream semi-parallelled life – Robby & I both have an appt at 9am today and the dc are going to his parents’ house. I dreamed that I was getting ready to go to an appointment – but instead of living at home with my family, I was in a big room and had a roommate. My roommate was my […]

Last night’s dream:

I dreamed that my friend Filip (who has no middle name) had three names – and Filip was his middle name and his first name was Joseph (or Josef, never did come to a conclusion in the dream how it was spelled) LOL

Today has been a busy day.

Got up (later than I wanted to, but earlier than I’ve BEEN). Got some laundry sorted and folded and put away in my room. I need to declutter clothes again! Will probably work on that some tomorrow. Then we spent the evening at our friends’ house. All-in-all, it’s been a pretty nice day.

We have a garden!!

I’ve wanted a garden for the last five years but didn’t think we could have one because we rent. Turns out it was ok with the manager for us to have one (because that’s less they’d have to mow!) so this year, we do! See it here!

Added a Comments Feature.

At the bottom of each post, you will now see a place to comment on that post. I’ll be delighted to see any comments! I think they will also show up on past posts, so I’ll try to go back through the archives occasionally to see if there are any comments there.

Disregard this morning’s post.

A very dear friend has informed me that I’m wrong and to some degree I agree with him. Can’t really deny the “fat” part – since in medical terms my 70 extra pounds label me “obese” – but since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I’ll concede that one As for the semi-invisible… what can one expect when […]

Y’know what I hate?

I hate being fat and ugly. Either one would be bearable without the other. But the combination is pretty rough. Feeling semi-invisible (among people who I really shouldn’t care if they notice me or not, I suppose) doesn’t help either. Sigh. Sometimes I’m just an idiot. This is probably the fatigue talking – only about 10 hrs of sleep in […]

My kitchen is DONE!!

Check the bottom of this page for final pictures ๐Ÿ™‚ Also my mom and dad got here tonight. They’re going to go to church with us tomorrow! Yay!! And, last night and this morning, Rachel and I went to the Ladies’ Array at Madison Baptist Church. It was nice to see ladies whom I consider friends (but whom I only […]

Kitchen is progressing nicely!

With a little help from Bob & Rae, I got two coats of “Zap” (generic Kilz) on the kitchen walls. I think it’s looking GREAT! You can see for yourself at the bottom of this page. Also, I got very nice comments about my most recent artistic endeavor, which I think is the best I’ve done yet. I’m learning a […]

As of today

it has been four or five days since I have had a good chat with my dear friend Michelle. She’s on vacation. I hope she’s having a great trip, but I miss her!!

Today

I got up around 9:30 (early for me, lately!) and not too long after that the manager of our trailer park knocked on the door and told me that one of my dc had put mud all over the trailer next door :mad and I knew immediately who it was (Nate is my “mudder”) and so Nate and I spent […]

Weird dream.

I dreamed we went to my grandpa’s apartment (in real life, he lives in a house) and, as far as people knew, he had died – except he hadn’t, he’d just pretended to. Somehow I found this out, and that he was actually still there, but he didn’t want people to know. Inside every cubby-type area in his house was […]
