Creek or Crick
Do you call it a creek or a crick? I have always called it a creek, but Mom would say crick. I often wonder if it’s indicative to where you grew up. For me, everyone around me, with the exception of my parents, called it a creek, so I call it creek. However, I love it when I hear someone say crick. It makes me smile and I always think of Mom. She often said, “you’re going to be up the crick without a paddle” if I didn’t straighten up. With that said, I was fairly easy, kept to myself and was known to entertain myself, which was a parents…

Take the Damn Cookies!
In February I started baking cookies and found that I really do enjoy it, but don’t often have the time to make them. Last week I spent a couple of hours baking MtnMan’s favorite – Chocolate Chip Walnut. It’s the only recipe that I have used because it’s so damn good. I intended for him to take most with him to work, and because there is a gentleman that has a nut allergy, I baked oatmeal cookies just for him. He only took half of each, leaving me with 2 bags worth of cookies that I found myself eating all afternoon, and sent him a text- Me: I thought you…

Are You a Picky Eater II
A couple months ago I posted a “Are You a Picky Eater” but I found another one that I think will actually test the theory that some of you are picky as fuck! lol. Please appease me and play along, truthfully. I will share my “Are You a Picky Eater” in the comments section.

How Was Your Week?
I am curious how everyone is doing and thought I would check in with you here, as well as Twitter and in emails. lol. My week has been extremely busy and good, but a lot of that is because I have not been largely affected by the shutdowns. I am very fortunate in that I work from home and I found my motivation after we got back from Salt Lake City in January, so I’ve been putting every waking moment into my site, clip stores and cam. It feels great to have that drive, again. I do hope to take a few days off soon and clean the house and…

Our Reality.
For the most part, I try to stay away from news of the outside world and disasters that plague the world on a daily basis. And, to an extent I have been able maintain that mindset. To me, filling your immediate surroundings worried about something that is out of your control is counterproductive. However, with our current situation I feel that we are in this together, and it is up to all of us to check on each of us. What are you doing to keep some level of sanity during this time of quarantine? Are you a dissectologist? A cruciverbalist? Are you reading (a bibliophile) the stack of books…

Abigail’s Sunday of Trial and Tribulations.
I woke up to a migraine, which meant a late start to the day, and it also meant that MtnMan was the one to open Abby’s curtain and say good morning to her. I doubt that it was as cheerful as my good mornings, and I can certainly say there were no hugs. She, however, darted out of her bedroom with glee and happiness, probably stopping to say hi to Herbie and Kandy. It’s hard to say who received her first love nudge because, although, Herbie is always near her, she has a very soft spot for the new buddy that we welcomed a few weeks ago. At any rate,…

The Sun Shines
I don’t watch the news, and I have to say it is the healthiest break that I took when I left Texas. However, social media is consumed with current events to the point that it is not healthy. You can’t get away from the mass hysteria and panic of others. They spread it like fire, and I think we all need a break. In this thread, I would love for there to be interaction, and positivity. I want to hear about the good in your world. For me, it is that we are healthy and Abby is a constant joy. Yesterday I took the time to get my taxes organized…

Spring That Bullshit
I know I have said this many times, but what in the fuck is the reason for us to continue to spring clocks forward? Don’t answer that, it was a rhetorical question. There is absolutely no fucking reason that we need to change our clocks. NONE! It is not healthy and it is stupid. I think everyone that has a vote on the ballot needs to vote for abolishing Daylight Savings Time. This is your not so friendly reminder to spring your clocks forward tonight for the sake of losing an hour of sleep. For those of you that are sleep deprived already, you are just fucked.
