It Don’t Come Easy
If I just gave you an earworm, I apologize and you’re welcome – Ringo Starr’s “It Don’t Come Easy” is a good song. And although it’s grammatically incorrect, the title is one hundred percent dead-on accurate in its spirit. If you’re talking about art of any kind, it...

I updated my computer yesterday, which is why there was no blog post. It wasn’t terribly complicated, but by the time it finished, I didn’t have enough minutes left in the day to be able to blog. Sorry about that. But I can now use some spiffy new software, software...

Sometimes inspiration strikes and hits you so hard, you have no choice but to sit up and pay attention. Well, inspiration struck. I’m pretty sure I have an “inspiration-shaped” shoe print on my forehead. I’ve been toying with doing a somewhat silly series for a while...
read morePip the Kitten
A few weeks back, I promised to tell you all the tale of Pip the Kitten. Well, what better way to start the week off than to talk about a cute, sweet, feisty, loving kitten? There is a bit of sadness to get to first though. Since October 2016, we’d only had one...

I am ridiculously excited about this, y’all. I just found out that the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hosts a Mothman Festival every year. Now, if you’ve followed this blog very much, you know I have a “thing” for cryptids. I’m fascinated by the lore and the...

Since I’m not sleeping the best at night these days, by the time afternoon hits, I’m more than ready for a nap. Some days I give in. I didn’t want to do that today. So what’s a girl who needs a nap but doesn’t want one to do in order to stay awake? Why, go play in the...

(If you stick around or simply want to skip to the end, there’s a lasagna recipe.) In all the chaos and confusion that’s been life this past week, I forgot to post an update on the stove. The heat pump install was finished on Monday, and so was the stove install....

I’ll keep this one short and sweet. It’s gloomy and wet here, really feeling like fall and winter in light and atmosphere. I don’t think I’m ready for this seasonal shift, but at the same time, I kind of welcome the change. Winters here so far haven’t been bad, and...

Remember that “suspicious finding” on the CT report I mentioned that we were chasing a couple of weeks ago? The one we thought was resolved? Well… As it turns out, that situation isn’t as resolved as one might hope. A couple of days ago, I had a blood pressure spike....
