Out of the Habit and Inspiration
Posted on 31. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I almost feel like I am out of the habit of so many of my previously “regular” routine things.
Right this moment, I am mainly thinking about the whole “getting ready” thing. From April until December, I was spending 60+ hours a week with my clients, so having a down day to just bum around was [...]

On Work and Passion
Posted on 30. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Just because I bypassed the word “passion” as one of my words for 2009, doesn’t mean that I have allowed it to slip by me. In fact, the reason that I did pass it by was because I felt as if I had already embraced it well and it had become a part of my [...]

Do These Groceries Make My Butt Look Big?
Posted on 29. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Outings with my youngest daughter (find her on Twitter) are always a bit of an adventure. In that, she has a sense of humor much like mine, only much sharper. And she is goofy like me, only cute when she is goofy. And she seems to have this confidence that I wonder if I ever [...]

Foggy Morning Memories
Posted on 29. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
With the foggy conditions here this morning, I thought it wise that kid and I leave early for school. I haven’t talked about it here, but at semester change, I worked with the counselors and the principals to transfer her to a different campus. The whys and and benefits and negatives are neither here nor [...]

25 Things
Posted on 28. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
It’s been ages since I’ve done a meme and I kind of got tagged for it, in that I was surfing through all the folks I link to, went to Michele’s, and she said that anyone who read the entry should consider themselves tagged. So here I am.
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed [...]

Week Four of 52 Stories: In Love
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Four.
I am having a love affair. It may be an unrequited love, though I have this hope that one day, my love will be returned. Well, if not returned [...]

On Hungry Days
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I don’t know if it’s the frigid cold, or the fact that I hardly ate real food yesterday, but I am having one of those hungry days today. No matter what I eat, it isn’t satisfying me – at least not for long.
Seriously.
Yesterday, I survived on mostly on meal replacements (protein bars, protein shakes) because [...]

All of Those Tourists…
Posted on 26. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
On the way to taking the 13-year-old to school this morning, the IPod Song God of Shuffle played Margaritaville.
“They played that song over and over on the cruise. Almost too much.“ She had gone on a cruise with her dad and step mom this summer.
I smiled. “Well, it’s Jimmy Buffet and it is a basic [...]

Gypsy Soul
Posted on 25. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
I am feeling the longings of my gypsy soul more the last few days than I have in awhile. Despite the quick trip to El Paso last weekend, I haven’t really traveled anywhere since late December. I am feeling a little stir-crazy, despite the fact that I have been out and about…and despite the fact [...]

So, a Confession
Posted on 24. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
So, I mentioned the other day that I had done a short stint on Match.Com. I say short because I lasted about 3 weeks, went on several coffee / drink dates, went on some regular dates, and then decided to hide my profile. I’m not opposed to dating, but when I looked at the amount [...]

Posted on 23. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Three.
It was day five of the longest week I’d experienced in ages. I am an experienced Road Warrior Princess and successfully (and usually happily) had lived out of [...]

Blogging and Blogging “lite”
Posted on 21. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Sometimes, I feel like I do nothing but do “lite” blogging. It isn’t that the blogs don’t have content and aren’t interesting in some ways, at least I hope they fit that bill, but I don’t write about what’s really filling up my head.
Pretty much, I wake up happy each day. I am [...]

Week Two of 52 Stories: A Guy Named Dave
Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
This is for the 52 Stories group on Flickr where we take one picture a week and write a story. This is mine for Week Two.
I love talking to Veteran’s, especially those from the WWII era. They proudly wear their hats that announce them a WWII Vet and are often willing to spend [...]

Experiments
Posted on 17. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
Using the Blackberry for blog posts may or may not work. We shall see.
I am so glad that they took the fans from the house today. It was suddenly…silent. Beginning Monday, I will attempt to get things put back together. Sheet rock, painting, flooring, etc. Replacing the bookshelves is a [...]

of Long Days and Quiet Nights
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by Deb.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I have had a bit of an adventure today in home maintenance / home repair stuff.
A couple of days ago, I got a brand new toilet in the front bathroom to deal with a minute crack in the tank which had been dripping water onto the [...]
