About Me

This blog is about my take on my daily life!  Why?  WHY is my big question?  I ask this several times a day.  I feel like I’m an annoying forever-four-year-old kid, who keeps asking her mom, “but why, mom?”, “but w-h-y, mom?,” “b-u-t  w-h-y, m-o-m?  Oh, that’s annoying! Right?

A few things about me…the core me:

1.  People say that I seem sooooo calm.  They don’t really know me.  I’m  like  a duck – Staying calm on the surface but paddling like hell underneath.

2.  I’m not crafty but creative.  I use to think I was a crafty lady -:)  When I see someones craft, I want to do it!  But could never settle on one craft idea.  I have bought wood burning tools, fabric cutting tools, knitting yarns, paints and brushes, fabric for sewing.  I can do a little of all those things.  It’s great to be a Jill of all trades.  I have helped my daughter through her elementary and middle school years with countless projects.  All got great grades, by the way!!!

3. My strength and my weakness:  I’m an optimist!!  I’m a dreamer.  And, I wish for world peace!  I hope that day will arrive.  I love John Lennon’s song, Imagine.  And Natasha Bedingfield’s song, Unwritten.

4. I enjoy writing, photography and cooking.  I push salad a lot – my poor husband.  That takes no cooking time, so it’s one of my favorite dishes to cook.  Ha ha!  I am passionate about working out and eating right.  Eating right can get tricky sometimes.  But I work on it every meal, every single day.  Working out is a priority when it comes to keeping myself sane.  Simple as that!

5. I love watching science fiction movies!  Love watching outer space stuff!  Loved the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Watched the episodes of The Universe, more than once.  A fan of Star Trek shows.  Twilight Zone.  Use to watch Lost in Space.  Don’t meet that many people who know about Lost in Space -:(.  I wonder why? -:)  I must be the one lost in space! LOL!

6. If I was not married to my husband; I would be married to someone else #1 and divorced, married to someone else #2 and divorced, married to someone else #3 and divorced.  Yes, that many times!  I tell this to my husband and he smiles.

7.  I believe in a Supreme Power.  That Power is guiding me through my life journey on this beautiful planet.  I believe that there are many paths to spirituality.  These paths are intertwining at various times and points to give me several chances to enrich my life.  At these junctions, I also meet people who nourish my soul.  I believe that working on my spirituality means to do my best each day, whatever it may be.  There are days where I want to take a break from everything!  And, that’s the best for that day.

8.  My family includes humans and animals.  A husband, two teen kids (daughter and son), a beagle and a pitbull.  My daughter is into animals and is a vegan.  My son loves being in his school band and plays Alto Saxophone.  I adore them all!!  I also adore me time by myself!! -:)

9.  I love doing laundry.  I love the smell of fresh laundry.  During my walks with the dogs, a lot of times, I smell that fresh smell and I know it’s from someone doing laundry.  It brightens my day -:)

10.  I’ll keep blogging.  I want to see what becomes of it.  And, what becomes of me.  I have been wanting to put “my stuff” in one place.  This is like home – good, bad and the ugly!  Love, love, love being here…the comfort I feel is indescribable!

Thanks for reading about me.  Now that you know me…we can be buds!! -:)
