Tackle It Tuesday

Katie 2:01 PM 0 Comments

Oh, thank goodness! Google has sorted itself out again and I can use pretty graphics again. It's Tuesday and I feel like I'm running a million miles behind where I ought to be right now. I've been feeling myself slip lately and I've been battling hard against that. I don't want to go back to being in "the dark place" where...

Menu Plan Monday

Katie 1:06 PM 0 Comments

Ugh. Blogger is giving me fits today. It won't let me upload my graphic which is highly frustrating. Then again, a lot of life is frustrating, isn't it? Families who refuse to help out, people who forget to tell you when your children's parent teacher conferences are and the list could go on. I'm not going to let it though,...

My wish list part 1

Katie 10:40 PM 1 Comments

Just like any other person, I have a mental wish list. Ranking up somewhere in maybe the middle is a new monitor. Don't get me wrong, I have a great one but I would love a flat screen so my whole desk wasn't taken up. It doesn't have to be anything big like a 24 monitor, just something decent siz...

(almost) Wordless Wednesday

Katie 2:55 PM 4 Comments

I'm back. I'm totally exhausted, but I'm back. Actually, I've been back since Monday afternoon but I'm not counting that because I came home, took care of a few things and left again to go see the boys school concert. I'm so bummed. My camera refused to recognize the new card I'd brought for it so I got very few pictures...

Quick Note to My Readers

Katie 12:25 AM 5 Comments

Hi all. I just wanted to drop in here and let everyone know that I'm going to be gone for a few days, possibly the rest of the week. My mother messaged me tonight (no, do not ask me why nobody picks up a phone to reach me.) on Facebook to let me know that my Grandmother was taken to the hospital yesterday. She has some...

Menu Plan Monday

Katie 1:19 PM 1 Comments

Happy Monday, everyone. Remember that sore throat? Well, it's turned into a full blown head cold. Ick! I have a very strong suspicion that it's going to turn all my good intentions and plans for this week into nothing more than good intentions and plans. I'm hoping not, but we'll have to see. After all, taking care of...

Save the Planet Saturday

Katie 10:23 PM 0 Comments

I bet everyone has pretty much given up on me getting a post up today. Surprise! I made it! I had a great day with the boys but I'm still fighting a sore throat and feeling a bit drained. I'm thinking it's just the change in weather and I'm not getting sick. I'm certainly hoping so, anyway.I was pondering what to write...

Time for Me Thursday

Katie 12:00 AM 0 Comments

Wow! I cannot believe how sleepy I was yesterday. I'm so thrilled that even though I was falling down tired, I still managed to get some stuff done. I did a quick tidy in my bedroom and hauled in the leather chair from the van. Then, I managed to get it upstairs. I still need to get it cleaned up but I'm hoping that will...

*Yaaaaawwwwwn* Holy cow, I am so sleepy today! I blame yesterday..lol! For those of you wondering about yesterday's tackle, it turned out just fine. In fact, in some ways, it was as if 15 years hadn't gone by. We met up at Denny's and just hung out there for hours and hours and hours, talking. In fact, it was something...

Giving Back

Katie 2:10 PM 1 Comments

I had originally planned on writing about this come the weekend, but my heart is leading me to write about it today. I'm sure that some of you have seen that Kristen, over at We Are THAT Family, is in Kenya right now. She's blogging her trip with Compassion International. Every time I read one of her posts, my heart aches...

Whew, what a weekend this turned out to be. Shopping, stopping at Habitat for Humanity and van repairs on Friday. Oh along with a trip to the post office and lunch at Mills Landing. I had a really delicious grilled ham and cheese sandwich along with super yummy french fries. It was kind of sad eating lunch all by myself...

Self Reflection Post #1

Katie 12:07 PM 3 Comments

Last night I did something that makes me very sad in the light of today. I didn't win the challenge at OrgJunkie and my reaction was unacceptable. Instead of being thrilled for someone that I had been rooting for, I fell apart. I sat on my couch, tears streaming down my face, feeling sorry for me. Even as it was happening,...

However, I consider it something very serious and wanted to make sure that I did take/make the time to write it.Usually, my posts tend to be fairly lighthearted and sometimes very silly. However, I'm warning you now that this post is going...

Save the Planet Saturday

Woo! It's the weekend! I'd love to say that I'm going to spend it relaxing, but that's just not so. I bought 3 bookshelves yesterday and I only got one of them assembled. The other 2 are going upstairs so they had to wait for daylight. I'm super excited about getting these because they're going to make a huge difference...

This is going to be just a quick post because I have a busy day ahead of me.I'm finishing something important today. I'm headed out to Hastings to get a front...

It's early on Thursday and I'm happy that I'm on top of remembering to get this posted. As always, I have a list of things I'd like to get done today. I have two "big" ones. I want to email the Dell customer advocate and continue that saga. I'm waiting for the final conclusion before I write up this drama, but I will write...
