POF
So, in my younger days I joined Plenty Of Fish, the free website people use to find a match. Generally it’s used for one night hook-ups, but every now and then you can find a good egg. I actual...
A Year in Review
Almost every year I do this survey, or a similar one. [1] What did you do in 2014 that you have never done before? Went to my 10 year high school reunion, read the whole entire Bible, bought a ...
Goodbye Health
I’ve completely given up on eating well… Normally it isn’t this difficult for me to deny sugar, and stay away from the things that I shouldn’t eat… but this season is tough, and I haven’t kept up...
Fuzzy Eyes
Twice while walking (once in the morning and once in the evening) outdoors, I’ve noticed that my vision is kind of fuzzy. I’ve noticed mostly after I’ve kind of just been staring off not really ...
Praise the Lord!
I had another day off yesterday, just using them up before the end of the year. I felt like I got SO much accomplished. I did a bit of sewing, baked two Christmas treat recipes. I am hosting a...
A day off is a wonderful thing
I have a few holiday days to use up before the end of the year, so I’ve taken one day off a week starting this week, until Christmas. What a great opportunity to get some Christmas shopping and...
Accomplishments
Yesterday I decided I was tired of never knowing what to make for dinner. So I took out my very large soup pot and made a hug pot of soup. At the same time I also made two smaller pots of chili...
Quick Weekend
After two weekends that were long it felt like this one went by too quickly. But boy did I have a good weekend! Friday night we stayed in. I did some reading, watched a bit of tv, just kind of ...
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving weekend was very great. Two big thanksgiving meals. More food than I could handle, I loved it. Plus time with family, which I always thoroughly enjoy. Ben and I had Monday to just...
My Birthday
So I’m not better, but I feel quite a bit better. Slept more yesterday, was only awoken a couple of times with coughing fits. YAY! Praise God. Poor hubby is still sick too. We make a sad pair...
Sick, whiney and bitter
Today would have been a really good at home day. I barely slept last night due to my constant coughing. I almost feel like I’m drowning sometimes, when my breathing feels all wet. My lungs are...
Upcoming Birthday
My birthday is coming up! I LOVE my birthday… I love Ben’s birthday too. I think those two days may be my favourites out of the whole year. Just so much fun. I take the day of my birthday off ...
Sick with a Cold
Today I am thankful to be functioning. I missed two days of work last week, the two busiest days of the week. You just can’t choose when illness is going to hit you. Wednesday night was our fami...
Fighting a cold
Today I am thankful for the warmth in the weather we’ve been blessed with. I started feeling like I was fighting a cold yesterday, my sinuses feel weird, kind of full, and my glands are a bit swo...
Ben's Birthday
So on Saturday we spent the day doing very little. I could tell Ben was bored, but I just had no ideas after cleaning the whole house about anything exciting we could do. I was quite enjoying d...
Ben's Birthday
Ben’s birthday is coming up! I’m quite excited. I LOVE celebrating my husband. I’m not going as crazy with the plans as I have in past years, because I’ve got him a pretty pricey gift. I thin...
My excellent Husband
I got home yesterday and what did I come home to? Well, as soon as I stepped foot in the door my husbands cheerful voice meets my ears “Your home! Just one minute I’ll be right there!” and he g...
Leaving you alone
It’s hard to leave Ben home alone everyday while I come to work. He’s doing what I wish I could do. Just stay home. I wish there was a way for me to make money sewing at home. That’d be prett...
Ben's toes and helping others
Today I am so thankful for the hospital we visited this weekend. So last week we had learned that Ben would be able to see the surgeon here in the city this Thursday, two full weeks after breaki...
Many Broken Toes
So, today I am thankful for God’s hands in directing even accidents. My husband was at work on Thursday as most of us were. He is a level to mechanic apprentice, and he was doing what he normal...
Are animals a non-issue?
You know what really grinds my gears? When people believe the life of an animal is above the life of a human. My facebook feed is FLOODED with people advocating for animals. “This animal was be...
2 Days off for All Women!
I just think it’d be so wise to give women two days off a month to deal with their periods in peace. There are usually two days a month when I’m just in such a bad mood, so upset I just want to ...
My brothers and sisters in Iraq and Syria
I can't really stop thinking about what is going on in Iraq and Syria and how IS is persecuting and murdering Christians and other religious minorities. It makes me sad, and I've been praying a ...
Update for you.
Today I am thankful for long weekends and short weeks. Even though this week is only four days long, I've been finding getting out of bed at my regular time extremely difficult. I'm definitely ...
Venting (I apologize)
I will start with something I am thankful for, because it's good for my heart. It helps me put things in perspective and reminds me of the joy I do have. So today I am thankful for many things: ...
