Progress

We got closer to the potty tonight.  Every night after her bath, Cali runs and pees on the floor like a dog.  Tonight…..she put Santa Claus in the potty, squatted BESIDE the potty….and peed. 
Progress, folks!  Progress!

Bellringing anyone?

I had my first real taste of self-centered, full-of-themselves, buying-everything-in-the place Christmas shoppers today.  Someone please shoot me in the head.  Right down there by that bump…the occipital bone, I think.  Yeah, right there.  That oughta do it. 
I usually try to avoid the Mall.  I’ve maybe stepped foot in there like 3 times over the [...]

Geek Chic

So.  I got my glasses today.  Indeed I did!  Could I LOOK any geekier?!  As I’ve stated before, these are my very first pair of prescription glasses.  So naturally, noone informed me that your depth perception is jacked up once you’re bespectacled.  I was high-stepping out of the Eye Place like an Equestrian Filly.  I [...]

Release

I have been struggling for the past couple of years with my identity.  Not like a “crisis”….more like a curiosity.  It’s been a humbling experience to admit I’ve been a failure for most of my adult life, then take full responsibility for those failures.  I think anyone with Bipolar will tell you…..off meds, you’re a completely different [...]

I dream of concrete

I’m in love with a 7 foot tall hunk ‘o concrete.  Oh yes I am!  For months, I’ve been going out of my way to drive past a garden shoppe here in town that has….well…the most beautiful piece of garden art I’ve ever seen.  I’ve only done drive-bys…but this morning…I stopped.  I pulled in.  I [...]

My eyeballs

I had my first Optometrist appointment since elementary school this morning.  Turns out I’m far-sighted with an astigmatism.  I feel old.  I feel like I need an AARP card.  They dilated my eyes (never had it done before) and I questioned them on the legality of this.  Does it make sense to make a person blind [...]

Peaceful

We had such a peaceful holiday.  I couldn’t have been more stress-free.  Now onto Christmas!  I’ll post more a little later when I have some time…although from now until Christmas, my posting will probably be sporadic at best. 
Cheers! 

I spent yesterday baking these pies.  I had difficulty uploading….so I’m catching up today.  We’re getting ready to start putting food on the table, the rain has moved in and I’m looking forward to spending a relaxing day with my family.
Blessings to you and yours. 

Lunch Bits

I started doing this with Cali’s lunch a couple of weeks ago. I’ll cut out lunchmeat and cheese in little tiny shapes.  It keeps things from getting boring and she absolutely loves the tiny stars.  There’s only so much you can do with kid food, so I was glad this idea actually worked!
