  1. My boys still doodle - even in college. Just flipping through some old notebooks. Granted the doodles are more intricate now.

      I was and still am a doodler. It helps me focus.

      I'm always impressed when someone is a good doodler!

  2. Just realized finals week is next week for my boys! I am NOT ready to have them all home again. Need to stock the pantry and refrigerator!

  3. Another trip to Goodwill! Purging room by room - feels so good.

      It's such a great feeling. :) We recently downsized about one third of the house to Goodwill.

      Oh Miss Marple...that is my summer project!

       

  4. Chicken w/ artichokes and angel hair pasta and Mocha Pots de Creme for an early Valentines Day dinner tonight (we old folks got scheduled to work on the 14th lol)

  5. Got myself a Micralite Fastfold stroller - bring on the grandbabies :)

  6. Just finished the last graduation announcement I'll ever make - Yay!

  7. Said goodbye to our kitty, Marshmallow, of 17 years. She died peacefully in my arms. She was a special kitty - born Easter Sunday morning, a pure white kitten to a pure black momma cat.

  8. ICE! Memories of 2007. Heard a crash in the middle of the night and saw that a beautiful oak just off the patio lost its top...right on top of the tractor :(

  9. Son got his first deer of the season (archery). I guess I'll be "processing" today. Yummy!

  10. DS taking the ACT this morning. Hoping this is the last one :)

      Dd took it too -- definitely the last for her! Hope yours gets the score he's aiming for.

  11. Said goodbye to my sweet companion of 7 years. My Lucy was the best doggy, always happy and she loved everyone. There is an empty spot in my heart and home but she is no longer suffering.

      I'm so sorry for your loss. She must have been a special girl.

      Thanks for the sympathy :) I keep finding myself talking to her and then remembering that she isn't here. It's a weird feeling. She was the only other female in the household :)

      I know what you mean. I used to listen for paws padding around before realizing they weren't there. We didn't last very long without a doggie in the house. :)

  12. Taking our lab in to be put down today. Sad and second guessing myself. She's been a faithful friend.

      I'm so sorry. Hugs!

  13. Seems so weird that I'm not planning any more courses. I've been drooling over CLRC and other online sites, but have no student to enroll. Must begin re-training :)

  14. Our trash collector is the most underpaid worker. $10 per month and he hauls away my trash/junk/stuff

  15. Yikes! The pile on my desk was obviously left unattended for too long. I just started organizing papers and discovered a scorpion!

  16. Paris Hilton just repinned one of my desserts on Pinterest. I feel famous LOL!

  17. 75% off at the local nursery just changed my plans for the day :) Will be potting and planting all afternoon

  18. MIssed deadlines due to death in the family - govt. regulations are stupid sometimes :(

  19. My doggy is in stage 3 Congestive Heart Failure, SIL is non-responsive in hospice with stage 4 melanoma, my mom just had a heart cath and didn't tell anyone...looking forward to bedtime

      Oh, my gosh. I hope you slept well and are ready to face the day. Hugs to you.

  20. Can't wait to get home internet fixed. Storm took it out almost a week ago. Don't like using my smartphone. A disadvantage of country living :p

  21. Today is Towel Day: Do you know where your towel is? (in honor of Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

      Changing my profile pic in honor of D. Adams. Will change back to my usual tomorrow :)

      Haha, Jane! I'm sure Adams could have written something entertaining about Archaeology as well :)

       

  22. College boy dons protective gear and hauls out the chainsaw. I'm on the tractor. Together we are tackling all the dead trees and limbs.

  23. Relaxing morning - finals are over for the boys at home so they are sleeping in and I'm enjoying my coffee and quiet morning.

  24. The prodigal kitty has returned after 6 days! Apparently the large coyote wandering across my patio did not eat her as we feared. Great rejoicing here :)

      :) Good news; one of our cats was shut up in a vacant house for several weeks. We were so glad to see her when she made her way home!

      Yeah, I think either someone thought she was a stray and kept her and she finally escaped, or she got shut up in a barn and someone just let her out. Her brother, Thor, missed her terribly. We rescued these when they were about 2.5 weeks old and bottle fed them so they are really special. My son was ecstatic when I plopped her in bed with him at 6:30 this morning. A wonderful start to the morning :)

      Sounds like my house! Nobody breathe! We might actually get something done!
