I’ve found that utter laziness and do-nothingness makes it seem like wasted time so I’m interspersing the lazy with some fun and some productive

I’m not a fan of waking up so being woken up before I’m ready by someone groping and grabbing just irritates me. My head spins around like the girl from The Exorcist and it’s not at all pretty.

Nothing – nothing – does it for me like curling up in my chair, done with work, weather gone gray, toss on a sweatshirt afternoons with a cup of vanilla sugar coffee. It’s the most relaxed I get. Ever.

It’s a flurry of flakes, like little angry ice stars, pelting anyone who dares step outside, tap, tap, tapping against the glass.

Omg, it’s snowing! I love snow. Love. Lovelovelovelovelove!

Happy Half Nekkid Thanksgiving!

Have I mentioned that I love lazy Sundays in bed? I do. This morning I got up, let the dogs out, made some coffee, let the dogs back in, grabbed my mug and headed back to the bedroom.  Taylor was like…  ”You’re going back to bed????” and before I could even say anything, he was [...]

Camping was an absolute blast. It ended up being just Taylor and I since our friends, one by one, dropped out.  (Not cuz we smell bad or anything.  Just a lot of sickness and emergency work calls and whatnot)  But it was good. We headed out on the bike around nine in the morning and [...]

Yawnnnn   Strechhhhhh.  What a lazy Saturday. The laptop didn’t show up until almost seven last night.  Talk about dragging out the anticipation.  Sheesh.  FedEx is a sadistic company. All in all, though, I was pretty impressed.  I ordered it on Tuesday after the close of normal business hours and had it in my greedy [...]

Well, summer has finally come to Wisconsin. It was in the upper eighties yesterday, set to stick somewhere in the nineties today.  The air?  It’s on. And I slept until eleven two mornings in a row.  Yay me!  It feels like forever since I slept in. That Teen turned sixteen last week.  Today and yesterday [...]

Holy shit, I have had a busy week.  From a busy weekend – other than Sit-Around-Sunday – right into a busy week. Work has gotten more intense as I take on a few extra responsibilities – not that I’m complaining! I have a dream jobby sort of thing!  But it’s left me with little time [...]

Wow.  We had a busy, busy weekend! Friday was a bbq at our house with lots of friends and doggies.  And friends feeding doggies. For awhile we had two rotties, a beagle and a boxer in our yard.  The second rottie went home and later in the evening we added a pitbull/lab mix and a [...]

I’ve got a totally busy weekend coming up so if I don’t drop in and say anything else I wanted to say hope y’all have a good one! Lots of fireworks and food on the grill and tater salad for everyone! I’m off to: clean my house, do all my laundry, buy a bunch of [...]

I’m having the do-nothing-est weekend ever over here.  Yesterday was so full of do-nothing, I can’t even remember what I did.  Read some, I guess.  Wrote a review.  Cooked.  (We had french toast and sausage patties for dinner last night.  I love breakfast for dinner and I actually had real maple syrup in the house [...]

I’m all…  bleh today. The air conditioner isn’t cooling the whole house so I had to block off the kitchen doorway – which improved things a lot but now the kitchen and bathroom are stifling and I can’t work up the energy to get in the tub.  Isn’t that awful?  Added to it I don’t [...]

Holy hell. I was up late — too late — and ended up getting a whole 4.5 hours sleep.  It is now 86° at only ten thirty in the morning with not a cloud in the sky to bring some shade and I’m dyin’ here. It’s going to be an iced coffee day.  With no [...]

So we’re out on the bikes the other day, cruisin’ around in the sunshine and heat, enjoying some country roads, lake views and prairie scenery.  All is good.  Everyone is mellow.  There’s next to no traffic and we can all just about feel the stress of the week melting off us. We pulled over at [...]

I have nothing worthwhile to say today.  I’m tired. Worn out.  Sunburned to the lobster point. Quite spacey. Dehydrated a bit.  Achy.  Unfit company for intelligent human beings. I’ll share some pics, though This is Lake Michigan. We rode along the lake for a bit yesterday on our 5 hour bike ride.

It’s fucking hot.  Eighty degrees and muggy and humid and nasty.  The Teen is sleeping.  Taylor is sleeping.  I know better than to attempt a nap this late in the day so I took a bath.  Bad idea.  Now I’m even more hot since I’m incapable of taking a cool bath.  I have a freaking [...]

So last year (there I go, doing it again.  I start so many blog posts with “so…”. It’s like I was in the middle of a conversation with y’all, got distracted and came right back to it like I never stopped. Heh) Anyhow.  Last year, Taylor saw some guy giving away a shed on Craigslist [...]

So today I dug all the weeds out of my garden — which I didn’t plant anything in last year so it had a years worth of weeds in it — and threw down some mulch and planted some seeds in those nifty little dome things in the kitchen.  Shortly I will have tomatoes and [...]

Not a whole lot going on over here. It’s Spring so it’s raining and gloomy far more often than it’s sunny and bright.  And to think I used to like Spring best.  Is it me or has it changed?  May feels more like March used to.  *le sigh* Remind me to take my vitamin D [...]

When I was longing for Fall?  We’re way past that. Remember when I was enthralled with Winter?  When the snow made me smile?  Yeah.  We’re past that, too. Wisconsin is stupid and the snow has all but stopped and we’ve had nothing but cold.  Biting, stabbing, painful cold and dark. Until today. Today we got [...]

“ The  fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?  ~J.B. Priestley   I love snow. I love sweaters and [...]

“The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many. ” ~Oliver Wendell Holmes Fall is coming.  Can you smell it?  I almost can. It sneaks [...]
