Bring on the Spring …

I have spring fever.  I am so ready to do some things in the yard.  I’ve been reading up and watching YouTube videos, and I think this year DH and I are finally ready to bring home some chickens!  I’m so excited.  But first, we’ll be converting an old shed into a coop for them.  …

Oh My Goodness – It’s been a while …

I’m not dead … YET!  It’s just been an absolutely INSANE few weeks! Lets recap:  The twins turned 21 … SAGE WORDS:  Life doesn’t get any easier as they age – Just Sayin’!  I’ve got a kid in Ghana RIGHT NOW!  It’s too long of a story to get into, but let’s all just say …

My back, my SVU and my studio …

Spent the last several days working through my messed up back (not so much an old football injury, but something along those lines …).  So – maybe I’m not the domestic goddess I thought I was.  Better to plan things out and execute them SLOWLY … Feeling (physically) better now though – which I am …

Domestic Goddess …

Yep – that’s me.  At least today it is … I’ve cleaned the kitchens (both), scrubbed sinks and toilets (and beat the battle with the rust stains and whatever other things were in there???) … scrubbed candle jars (since I want to make more soy candles) … and cleaned my studio!  Wow … it must …

Contentment

Ahh … peace and quiet.  The fam is all out of the house for a few hours, my chores are done – for the moment … how wonderful!  We had a beautiful day, weather-wise … teaser Michigan weather, which means an ice storm should be on it’s way soon.  But still, a beautiful day today!  …

Den update and studio time …

The Neo pups have started in on gruel … and they love it!  Of course, they  have to wear as much as they eat.  And more times then not, they climb right into the bowl, as it apparently tastes better that way!  In between eating, there is still lots of sleeping and growing going on …

Certified – or certifiable … ???

Thank you Lord!  I have successfully completed the mandatory GENE training (Geriatric Emergency Nurse Education) … What does this mean?  I can spout random statistics, irrelevant factoids and common sense issues regarding elderly patients.  Thank goodness!  I feel like I’m a better nurse already.  But, the really cool news (outside of the fact that I …

Meanwhile …

Not to be left out of our ‘puppy-nursery-overload’ … Mr. Yoda Kei: Is growing tooth buds, and putting all that ‘kissing’ technique to good use … he is teaching his littermates the joys of ‘gruel’ (puppy formula mixed with can food) … and lovin’ it!  Momma Monet still pops in to the Yorkie nursery for …

It’s tough to be a guy …

Yoda Kei and John both decided they needed a nap this afternoon … cuz, you know … it’s tough to be a guy!    To be fair, Yoda just ate and DH is sick … Meanwhile, in between cooking and cleaning, I took advantage of all the snow-bright lighting to take photos of our latest …

Weekend wrap-up … Contrary

I think it’s something when a 92 year old says to you, “… well at least you have your head on straight …”.  I had just popped in to her room to draw blood per the request of the medical floor she was on.  “Thanks”, I said aloud while thinking, ‘Wow – if this is …
