I’ve had a really busy week it seems. I was behind at work because of various reasons, so I’ve been busting my butt to get that done. My work from home days would get interrupted with things… hospital visit, vet … Continue reading Busy week…
My trip to Vermont. So my friends from Vermont who lived up here for a few short years (which is how I met them) have been asking me to come down for a visit. I had picked a couple of dates out, but the first one didn’t work. So last weekend we took off to Vermont, my daughter & I. Day 1: We got up at 4:30 and planned on leaving straight away, but we didn’t get under way until 6 AM. We decided not to take the Turnpike but to take US route 202 through Maine, in to NH, and then … Continue reading Mainer in Vermont
So… it never fails to rain whenever I take time off to go camping. Mind you I’m not fond of camping. Tenting in the rain is the worst. However this year my Dad & Mom L let me borrow their pop-up camper for the weekend. (Under the understanding that I basically sign my life away if any damage happens to it. Not that it would.) I picked it up in the rain and I set it up in the rain. Fun fun! Other than Friday’s rain, the camping was fun. A lazy weekend. Although I found it very hard to … Continue reading Camping – Beaver Brook, Monmouth

Traffic is crazy and they shut down the subway.” 3:29 – “There was an explosion at the finish line of the Boston marathon.” (to her) 3:32 – “It was on the north side of Boylston st. near the photo bridge at the end of the marathon.” (to her) 3:34 – “Where are you?” (to her) 3:38 – I called her. 3:39 – I called him twice and again at 3:43. 3:44 – I called her again. 3:45 – “One of you … Continue reading Relieved
Today’s Daily Prompt is: When was the last time someone told you they were proud of you? I don’t think I’ve had anyone recently just come up and say “I’m so PROUD of you.” Usually the praise I recieve is something along the lines of “Look how well you’re doing for yourself.” or “You’ve come so far since a couple of years ago.” It’s okay because I know what they mean by these types of things. They ARE proud of me. They’re glad I’m not such a looser anymore. They’re glad I’m not hitting them up for money, or a … Continue reading Not those exact words, but close enough.
Daily Prompt: Burnt. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I’ve decided that my new project of priority is to back up all of my photos & video ASAP. Saving them in multiple locations on multiple types of devices. I would take my albums, my laptop, my cats, my journals, & my cameras. The kids can fend for them selves. Kidding! The kids would be the first to get booted out the door. Continue reading Daily Prompt: Burnt
