Today, I am thankful for my meditation practice. With the house being a complete mess, a kitchen remodel looming over head, and social obligations, my normal routine of things has been knocked off kilter. I’m a routine person, very much the girl of habit. When that gets messed up, I get a little cranky (I’ve
You have to sing it like the guy from Fiddler on the Roof. TRAAAADITIOOOON! TRADITION! (Ha! Bet you’ll be singing that all day.) The pumpkin has always been a tradition taken very seriously in my home. It begins with the hunt to find the perfect pumpkin (this year’s is white one!), that one that speaks
I’ve had some days the past week where I think it would be easier to list the things that do not make me happy. That’s when I’m reminded of just how important this happy list has become. Sharing my list with others Speaking in terrible broken Spanish with my barista, Melody Stealing office supplies Stolen
Did I mention that I was actually in the Ghouls Gone Wild parade this year? You may even remember last year’s entry and parade pics. Looking back at that entry I notice that I mentioned something about riding my scooter as Amelia Earheart. OK…so I walked and I was dressed as the purple cakra. Who
This week has started the social event ball rolling with the U2 concert. It’s one event after another all the way through Sunday and some where in all of that we plan on getting the office in order. But even though I’m tired (I could use a really long nap) and the idea of dealing
Chris and I met the most awesome woman at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday named Susan Bergen (see Things that Make Me Happy). She’s with Peach Crest Farms and normally doesn’t do the Farmer’s Market circuit, but that day she was filling in for her son so he could be at the OU game. Totally
Yesterday, I was tired and cranky and it totally reflected in my post. Later that day I reached over to write something on the “Things that Make Me Happy” list and I realized that I had more then just one thing to write down. I also read over the ones I’d listed and it cheered
Over the weekend we managed to get really lost (like 20 miles out of the way lost), find our friends at Fall Fest and eat and drink and laugh around a campfire. We did all our grocery shopping, planning our meals with the idea we’d have an oven/stove by now. No oven/stove. Pulled everything (almost)
There are so many things to be thankful for on this Friday I almost don’t know where to begin. I’ll start with the weather. Yesterday, some time after lunch, the clouds that had been like a quilted blanket over the state of Oklahoma finally started to break apart and move south. The sun came out
Yeah…that’s actually the slogan for the Oklahoma Library system. They even made up posters with famous Oklahomans reading their favorite books. But that’s not what this entry is about. Actually, I shrivel up a bit when ever I’m asked about my favorite book. I can never choose a favorite. I just love to read. I
