Zoe the photographer

She wanted a chance today.  I shared some basic instruction and she did well.  I am usually not the subject so it was strange when I loaded the pictures and saw myself.   Here I am after 2 months in Washington… looking any different?

reduce, reuse, recycle

I am awesome!  OK, maybe it is WA that is (not me?). I get a recycle bin, a compost bin and a trash bin.  Take note…. trash is the smallest.  There is an insert that covers the bottom of the bin-I can only fit about 1.5 trash bags of stuff in there.  It is some [...]

Unpacking little treasures

Remember what I found before I moved… Rainbow Bright?  Well, I had to put the others away but now that I am unpacked and organizing the office, I felt it appropriate to get out those little treasures.  Buckle up, this is pretty dang awesome! First, there is cute little Lisa in kindergarten.  Doesn’t she look [...]

My new life

I live in Washington now, Kirkland to be exact.  Although “live” is used loosely.  We are in temporary corporate housing until our truckload of personal belongings (everything from our home) arrives.  What we have with us is a few changes of clothes and a small bucket of toys that my new friend has loaned to [...]

Rainbow Bright

Do you remember her?  I sure do! I have been cleaning out closets, prepping for our big move.  Today, I went through my LIFE BOX.  It i something my mom has handed down to me and it has all sorts of goodies in it.  First, I found my harmonica.  I used to take it to [...]

Out of office

I am on a involuntary mental vacation.  Zane’s birthday was Sunday (shared the day with Mother’s Day), the same day we got back from Seattle.  I felt terrible about not being able to spend the day with him but thanks goodness for family.  TJ and Lauren took care of him and sang to him and [...]

Another first

I have learned and lived so many things in the QC, another reason why it is sad to leave!  To my dear children, I promise I have made cinnamon rolls.  This may be the only time I make them since it made 7 pans and I don’t need 7 pans sitting around here!  Holidays are [...]

Haircut

I was trying (trying so hard!!) to be tough and grow out this dang hair.  I had a weak moment… I ended up cutting and cutting and cutting and cutting.  It was like I couldn’t stop!  Yes, that is a Caboodle!  Anyhow, I know have short hair and I actually am so happy-happy to be [...]

A selfie

Excuse me, not all self-portraits need to be doctored and presentable.  What about those real life moments-hair and all?  I woke this morning, took a glance in the mirror as I turned on the shower and decided it was a morning for a self portrait.  I turned back off the shower, grabbed my camera and [...]

Costing more than its worth

I have this check to deposit for $0.02.  Crap, is it even worth going to the bank?  The envelope and stamp cost at least 20 times the value.  I thought of this as a good analogy in life… sometimes we do things that ending up costing much more (time, money, peace, sleep, etc) than it [...]
