    T Tuesday: April Fool’s edition

    April 1, 2014 - By 

    Holy smokes…its April already! We’re a quarter of the way through 2014.  I better get myself in gear with my get healthy initiative. monster smoothieGreen monster smoothie…check. I already finished my coffee for the day and what would T stands for Tuesday be without a beverage.

    Mother Nature decided to play a trick on us.

    Here we have yesterday…yesterdayAnd today…todaySnow…wind…sub zero “real feel” temps. Booooo!!

    Another trick I noticed after being up for 2 hrs was this…no foolingAn ugly bruise at the base of my thumb joint. I think maybe it was partially dislocated…I adjusted the joint. It still doesn’t hurt,  just feels weird. No clue…I guess I’ll wait it out for a day or so and see what comes of it.

    An last but not least…I have to share this photo Little J took the other day.magic pawWhat’s even more amazing to me is that she took it with an iPad mini. No foolin’!

    I also thought I’d direct you to our flubber results if you hadn’t already seen them.

    I’m going to go ice my thumb a bit before visiting the link list over at Elizabeth’s blog.

    Journal rant exposed

    March 28, 2014 - By 

    A couple days ago I had something that was eating me up…interfering with my entire day. Someone that I care about…not living in my house…but that I care about…had hurt me once again.  After supper, I decided to do what always helps me…WRITE.  Just get it out. A simple rant.  An unloading of all the bottled up ick. Spill it out on the page…and so I did.rant blurredIt’s funny because as I write I see myself working through it in my mind. Of course…you…cannot see it since I blurred it. Sorry…personal stuff…no peeking.

    So today…feeling much better I painted over my rant. I still know its there. I know what it says. It helped, so it can now become something positive.

    let it goThese words of wisdom come from the recent Disney movie “Frozen“. If you’re not familiar with it here’s the song that inspired the end product of this page.  Both the song and movie are a new favorite in our house.
