What I Learned Today (A Real SHOCKER)

-
Woah you guys. You will not believe this, but when I left the apartment on Saturday I forgot to make Josiah's bed.

That's right. I left the house in a state of imperfectness.

And the earth did not explode!!!

Woah. I am still in shock. Does this mean that (gulp) I could maybe relax a little on the neatness factor and the sun will still rise and set?

On a completely unrelated note, do you believe in karma? I do. I believe in the Golden Rule. What goes around, comes around, do unto others, etc. If that seems cryptic, that's fine. There's a situation in my life right now that is really bothering me, but unfortunately, I can't come right out and blab about it on my blog. All I can do is try not to let it bug me and think about karma.

But that's cool about the bed, right?

Rachel, I am the same way. I would rather be late for work, or to an appointment, ect., then leave home without beds made, or my house being less than perfect. I'm glad that there is someone I know who has the same traits as myself.

I too, believe in Karma.

Thanks for sharing. I love reading your blog.

Happy Holidays!!

I will have to agree with you about leaving things undone at home. Why clean and make the beds before you leave, so that someone that breaks in won't think that you are a bad house keeper?? It is below zero here this a.m.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

-

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
