reflecting on various topics
Last weekend we celebrated my mom’s birthday and it was a really sweet time. We made cranes. I made dinner. I’ve been experimenting with browning ground beef or pork- pork is better, and then making a cream cheese sauce, with pasta. It made me really happy to see that people liked it. Alex made brownies. …
I’ve been listening to Millenium (Backstreet Boys) lately. It’s my go-to comfort music at the moment. It transports me, every time I listen to it. Sometimes it transports me to the past, and I remember what it was like when I first heard them in middle school. Today I pictured myself in an old-folks home, …
The past few days, the kids and I have been making valentines together. (cutting hearts out of art paper and water coloring them) drying added a dum-dum how they turned out (Also I now have Valentine Nails!) (You can’t really see it, but there are heart-shaped cherries on my toes!) Hope you’re ok.
Today the sun came out and it was so beautiful. It rained some but then stopped. I love water droplets on things.
good morning. I dropped my Pinephone (my camera) inside the couch yesterday and it was stuck and the only way to get it out involved Alex LIFTING UP the couch and so he LIFTED UP the couch and the Atticus (our cat) of course DARTED UNDER the couch and so Alex was LIFTING UP the …
Today was pretty good. The people affected by the fires are still on my mind. I read the news a bit. Really horrific things are happening. It’s hard to know sometimes how to process things like that while also taking care of kids, etc. (Here is a list of helping organizations). We played dominos and …
(by the way- I don’t think I’ve introduced you to my piano- this is it! it’s a Chickering. it’s been in my family for four generations. it’s a player piano and has a pump pedal in the base 🙂 it’s lost some keys, and some have stopped playing- something I’m hoping to get fixed soon) …
uh oh. so. so. ok so there is this program that I discovered and I’m sure all of you have already discovered it, I’m sure you all already know about it, but just in case you don’t there is a program called Audacity and it is free and it is a little bit technically.. interesting BUT …
I got a new-to-me camera a month ago or so (refurbished, using points and with a coupon- yay!). It’s the Canon Powershot V10- a point and shoot for carrying around in my pocket. I like it so far! I like the video and the ability to take selfies like I used to when I had …
I thought I’d write about some of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. Of course there are too many to choose from, but here are a few… Why: the anticipation she builds through the lack of satisfying cadences, for a really long time. We would hate it if the whole first minute and a half were …
