Served With A Twist
Apparently her response to Earth Day was – “Hold my beer.” In parts of the country it’s already snowing and we are expecting temps in the 20s by Sunday. I rushed home from another day in the substitute teacher trenches. OK, more like five hours, and a sixty-seven degree room isn’t exactly the beach at…
We are very tired. We are both snoozing around this morning from our late-night excitement. As an aside, when I decided to get a puppy, I researched breeds to find the best fit for me, my lifestyle and the personality traits that were important to me. Getting a dog for my personal security or protection…
Good morning and Happy Monday! Got your caffeine drip going? I hope you all had a relaxing and or/fruitful weekend. When I wasn’t fighting with the laundry machines in my building, I spent part of mine standing in the rain. On purpose. Well, okay, not for very long. I’m a wimp and it was cold…
No…not that! But I’ll pin that topic under “Literature” for another day. In case there was any doubt about my feelings on that Best Seller. *wipes sarcasm & envy off the keyboard* Today I’m the substitute Art teacher!! Free draw and movies! Remember movie day??? or this… Filling in for those called to these careers…
Is it that time again?! *sigh* It is. I’ve already filled up an ATV trailer with weeds as my helper and I are prepping the garden beds for planting. The asparagus beetles have already attacked and destroyed the first tiny shoots of asparagus. The deer are boldly(?) sneaking onto my patio at night to munch…
Happy Monday all. It’s a holiday here in Massachusetts today. It’s called “Patriots Day”, ostensibly to celebrate the founders of our country, but really it’s just an excuse for offices to close during the running of the Boston Marathon. It’s rare that Marathon Monday is the day after Easter, but this year it means I…
For many Easter ends days of fast and abstinence and represents the core of our faith. Others welcome in a season of renewal or prepare for one of rest. May you all know ultimate and unconditional love. I dug through the boxes to share some of mine. Save Save Save
Huge credit for the title of this post goes to one of my all-time favorite blogs: Hyperbole and a Half.¹ It’s author, Allie Brosh, created an oeuvre through her blog that garnered hundreds of thousands of fans² who have followed her through all social media platforms for years, and a best seller: Hyperbole and a…
Good morning and Happy Monday, the most hated day of the week. That is a sweeping generalization, I realize. What if Monday is actually your Friday? Not everyone works the typical five day week, starting on Monday and ending on Friday, or even the same schedule two weeks in a row. What if you have…
My weekly update on last week’s Tighten & Tone Challenge. These moves were actually more difficult that I imagined. Sixty seconds is a LONG flippin time in a plank. Especially if one has not been doing them. I modified and held the planks -holding form as long as possible, resting, then holding again until I…
