Bullet Journal
I mentioned yesterday that I started a bullet journal and I thought I’d share some of it today since I actually followed through and used it. What’s a Bullet Journal? The short answer, without popping out to http://bulletjournal.com/ is that it’s a handwritten planner system that you can use in any notebook. Most people use small(ish)…

So Many Choices
I’ve been busy with my oldest’s high school graduation and his new student orientation at West Virginia University, which is about 3 hours away from where we live. I’m so excited about WVU now part of me wishes I was the one going off to school. I think it’s a great fit for my son,…

Birthday
Today’s my birthday – yay! I get to eat as much cake as I can! And also reflect on what’s happened in a year … I’m in such a different place mentally; last year I was still recovering from something that happened in January and still struggling with drinking. I took my last drink in…

So last night, I was back to my old entertaining favorites: channels without commercials…

Roller Girl?
Trying to come up with a roller derby name is hard. I’m not even sure sometimes if I’m really a derby girl/chick: am I fierce enough? Ten years ago: yes. Twenty years ago: definitely yes. So I’m going back to some of the music I listened to (and have continued to listen to all this…

General Craftiness & Brief Thoughts on Japan
Last Friday I had the beginning of a weekend-long surge of craftiness brought on by Mod Podge, not one but 2 pads of scrapbooking paper in the clearance aisle of JoAnns, and a reluctance to toss out tins (Altoids, Sucrets, Newmans Own, tea). I even got some books from Good Shepherd Alliance’s thrift store to…

Dear Dogs
Dear Jacey, Lily, and Moose, I know we’ve had this conversation before and it’s obvious to me that you did not absorb the information I have attempted to communicate in the past. First of all, please learn English, learn how to read, and get a device that will connect to the web to read this…
