Drafts!
I have 16 blog post drafts that I had started and never finished. A couple of them date back to 2012! And looking through them, I don’t even know where I was going with some of them. I bet all bloggers have those. Some maybe even more than me. So I decided I would start …
UGH! I Hate Shopping!
“I’m making a grocery list and checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s hungry or not. Karen’s going shopping today.” I don’t know about you, BUT I HATE SHOPPING! 🙂 You push the wobbly basket up and down the aisles clutching a list in hand while trying to avoid shoppers on their cell phones (I …
“Z”odiac
Well, “Z” is the last letter for the AtoZ Challenge. I asked Jarrod for a word for “Z” and he gave me a few and then he said Zodiac and I said, “That’s perfect for me! Since I’m such a horoscope junkie.” First off, I am an Aquarius in astrology. A “1” in numerology. And …
“Yawnnnnnn”
It’s 5:30 in the morning and I’m tired. Why am I up you ask? It’s this darn insomnia. Not mine! My dogs! This is Mitzy. I got her when she was 8 weeks old back in October 2003. This is Duggy. I took him in, in 2010 and I’m guessing he was just under …
“X” is for Xavier
I had a great weekend. My son and his roommate came up from San Diego to visit on Saturday. We went out to lunch and then I got to visit with my granddogs for a little while. 🙂 Sandi is the pit bull and Sketch has the curly tail. Duggy, the feisty one, is mine and …
Wrapping it up with Words
Well, not really wrapping it up when we still have X, Y, Z to go. More like summing it up so far. First, let me say I am very sorry I missed “V” yesterday. The only word I could think of was vain and that led to “You’re so vain” by Carol King, which led to …
‘U’nder Pressure
Back in February I stopped by my sister’s house for her birthday and I asked her what did she do with her couch. She told me it was out in her garage, so I asked her what she was going to do with it and she said she’d probably just get rid of it. So …
“T” is for Tortoise
This is Boxer. He is a desert tortoise. He has been a part of the family for 29 years now. Did you know that tortoises make great pets? They do! And they are intelligent as well. Well, Boxer is at least. I can’t speak for all tortoises. 🙂 He knows his name and when …
See Me Through My Eyes
I was staring at my reflection in the mirror the other day and I saw some wrinkles, thin lips, and a not so perfect nose, but then I looked into my big blue eyes. “You’re beautiful.” I said and smiled. See me through my eyes and you will see that I am kind, caring, and compassionate. …
