Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Today is March the 1st, 2021. I have been in front of a computer for the better part of a day trying to solve a problem. I did, you know! I solved it. I persevered until I got a satisfactory solution. I realized this about myself sometime ago. I … Continue reading The Sweet Satisfaction of Solving the Problem

As I Looked 50 Boldly in the Face the World Stopped
I opened my blog today after ignoring it for quite some time. As you well know we've been in a pandemic situation for the last year. This post was written and awaiting publishing just about the time the world freaked out. I was preparing to look 50 in the face boldly and instead got smacked upside … Continue reading As I Looked 50 Boldly in the Face the World Stopped
Lazy Lies
I've spent a majority of my life believing I'm lazy, and yet I had a hard time resting today. How does that make any sense? See, I keep 3 of my grandchildren 4 days a week. My other 2 (soon to be 3) grandchildren were here over the weekend as well with my daughter. Sunday, … Continue reading Lazy Lies
Random Thought About Learning
If one learns a skill using tutorials via YouTube, Pinterest, etc., then is one truly self taught? #LearningToCrochet #LearningToKnit People are putting their hard earned time into writing and/or filming tutorials. It seems awfully haughty to act like if one doesn't use an in person, face to face teacher, then whatever is learned is ultimately … Continue reading Random Thought About Learning
The Lost Package of Maturity
Have you ever had a package get lost? I have. Today. My package was not on my front porch, even though UPS and Amazon said it was. I got frustrated and I felt a little crazy. I looked everywhere they've ever left a package. Nothing. I called 1-800-PICK-UPS. I had to talk to a faux … Continue reading The Lost Package of Maturity
Is Rey As Boring As Me?
Reason #31 I am boring... Feast your eyes on this masterpiece. I dressed up as Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens for Halloween last year. I fabricated most of what you see in the picture. I will say I was pretty proud of myself when it all came together! As I walked around my neighborhood with my grandbabies trick-or-treating, … Continue reading Is Rey As Boring As Me?
Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Do you believe in signs? Do you believe God talks to us, sending little or maybe not so little messages? I do. I do because it has happened a lot in my lifetime. Tonight I came home, opened my garage door, and pulled my van in just like normal. Tonight though, there was a bird … Continue reading Three Little Birds … In My Garage
Lazy – Reason #1- to Being Boring
I found this sign in St. Thomas at Senor Frogs. It is one of my favorite finds from my cruise last February. I think the grammar is weird, but I am willing to forgive that because of the humor and truth this sign exudes. What is lazy? Oxford says it is an unwillingness to work … Continue reading Lazy – Reason #1- to Being Boring
The Early Bird Can Have the Worms for All I Care
I am a night owl. I enjoy staying up late and then sleeping until I feel like getting out of bed even if that is late morning. I was designed that way. I am not broken. I am not irresponsible. If something calls for my having to be up early, then I adjust accordingly. I … Continue reading The Early Bird Can Have the Worms for All I Care
Reasons I Am Boring
I am boring... I've been thinking about why writing this blog is so difficult for me, and I have decided it’s because I am boring. No one wants to read anything I (Nonie) want to talk about. It is not a mystery to me that I have a rough time believing in myself. I often tell those … Continue reading Reasons I Am Boring
