Favorite Smells . . .
I love the smell of a clean house. There is nothing like that fresh smell when everything is dust-free, and the floors are swept and mopped. I also love the smell of fresh cut grass. It reminds me of spring days spent outside as a kid with Dad, and it is always nice to have look out and see a well kept place. I also enjoy the smell of lavender and soft scents of perfume, as long as you don’t bathe in it. What are some of your favorite smells?

It Is a New Weekend
So last weekend I was indecisive as to what I would do and this Saturday is no different. I do not know where this wishy-washiness is coming from but it needs to stop ASAP! It is driving me crazy! Not mentally crazy to the point of being unstable, but it sure the fuck is annoying me. Since I was sick Wednesday, I did not get into town to do my nails, nor did I peruse the antique shops as planned. I don’t think I want to get my nails done on a Saturday because they will be swamped and full of chaos, however, I have a list of stuff I…

Wile E. Coyote
As a kid, I loved Wile E. Coyote. He made me laugh and shake my head at the same time! I am not sure where my love for him came from. It could be that my maternal g’ma gave me a stuffed Wile E. on my 6th birthday and then my parents took my twin and I to see the elephants at the San Antonio Zoo. Although, not something I would do today, Dad and I rode one of the eles and I just wanted to hug and hug and hug on him. Dad took his cowboy hat off and pretended to be riding a bucking bull. Mom snapped a…

On My Nightstand . . .
I just have a lamp, a framed picture, an elephant and a book on my nightstand. My latest read is Ken Follett’s “Night Over Water” that is a fictional read based on non-fictional events during WWII. It was one that Dwwindsor suggested and Nictster sent to me. I have not gotten too far because at the end of my cam day I am usually tired and start to drift off after a few pages, but I hope to spend some time reading it tonight and maybe tomorrow. What is on your nightstand?

Change in Schedule
This week I will be doing a 20 minute bonus show on Tuesday, instead of the 1 hour show that we normally do. Instead, I will do a 1 hour show Thursday night at 11p EST.

A Very Special Day (June 10)
In my #newbeginnings I have allowed myself to slip on my birthday posts and encouragement of celebrations of each one. I am slowly adding the important dates back into my calendar book so that I will not miss another one… This one was not missed, but I did not make the time to dedicate a blog post to someone who deserves more than just a tweet. So, forgive me for my lack of attention to this very special day, and join in wishing Molly a wonderful and very happy birthday month. She is a sweet lady, with a wicked sense of humor and a generous heart. She is always spreading…

It Is Not What It Appears . . .
I have always had a healthy appetite. I love food. My parents had a hard time in that I was always hungry, but we were not a house full of snacks. At dinner time I was usually already sitting in my spot before Dad even showed up. I was ready to eat but we never made a plate until Dad had his. It was just the way it was and we also never had a choice in what was going to be for dinner. Mom cooked for Dad and we ate whatever was on the table. Dad had a serious sweet tooth. He loved his sweets and boy would he…

Plans For New Content
I have not shot… scratch that… I have not created new content since I was in Mexico earlier this year and we have plans to spend a good part of this weekend doing videos, and a few picture sets. I am having fun with videos and new ideas, so I am looking forward to spending Friday night through Sunday morning doing just that! I have a few ideas floating around in my head, but should probably do what I do best, and that is make a list so that I don’t forget. And, by list, I mean pen to paper, not on my phone. I have had a lot of…

Iris’ Living Wild
Yesterday we, and by we I mean MtnMan, happened upon a cluster of Iris’ growing wild when he was mowing the front field. The wild growing iris’ are also known as the Rocky Mountain Iris and is listed as a noxious weed, but according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center, they are cultivated and sold in stores in wildflower packs, and bulb sets. They can be invasive if not divided and maintained through the seasons, especially in damp climates, but also thrive in the dry climates, especially around groves and creeks. After much consideration, and some research, I (and by that I mean MtnMan) will be digging them up…
