Somehow last week I missed alot of Earth Day Celebration events. All these consciousness efforts for conservation of our very own Earth had passed me by. Not that I do not care. I do.
The future of our planet and human carbon footprint are just two of many new it-words (or popular terms) going abuzz these [...]

NOOOOOOOO! It’s all about Tom Maroon! He’ll be 14 this year. The vet just gave him a clean bill of health. Well actually, he has hyperthyroidism. A common condition that cats develop when they are OLD! However, medication puts that condition in check. For now. Do you realize I have to forgo [...]
Snow on an April Day
Posted in weather, tagged bees, snow on Saturday, April 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It was predicted that the valley would have a dusting of snow on Saturday. Temperatures would be 32° overnight and 46° the whole day. If there’s a dusting in the valley, that would only mean real snow up on the hills. I live on the hills.
And this morning as predicted, this was what I saw [...]

I didn’t expect many birthday gifts, but that’s alright. I appreciate what I have. And here they are:
Garden tools with mini-clock from my lil’ sister
Geranium pot from a co-worker
Kershaw Baby Boa folding knife from my son
Mr. Wonderful gave me a gift certificate (no photo) to my favorite local performing arts theatre. His sister mentioned that [...]
Knife Show Today!

Look what I got at the knife show today. A Katana (Japan) from the Edo period.
Pointy implements are such a big deal to My Precious; and me. Swords, switch blades and stilettos grab my interest real quickly; while my son’s into all sorts of knives, especially Balisong (butterfly knife).
Mr. Wonderful is not allowed to handle [...]
Unbirthday!

That word was derived from Alice in Wonderland. I love the sound of that word. It’s uncommon. Another favorite saying of mine: ‘At half past dark’, said PPPiglet, from Winnie the Pooh book.
Last night, the reason why My Precious was avoiding me was because he was hiding the cake he bought at Market of Choice. [...]
Donuts for Birthdays

Today is my birthday! ….happy happy joy joy!
I break down birthday celebrations in 3 categories.
One category I consider non-eventful. These are the between-decade occasions.
Another category is what I call the dreadful years, e.g.: …9th birthdays (19th, 29th….I should stop here as I might accidentally reveal my age!) I consider ‘…9th’ birthdays dreadful as [...]
Who Invented Ironing? I’d Rather be Reading!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Books, ironing, reading on Saturday, April 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s Saturday! A weekend for doing absolutely nothing! Darn! I have tons to iron today. I have been procrastinating this week when it came to ironing.
I’d rather be reading (and of course, knitting TOO).
So far, I have read little these days. It would take someone to move mountains before you can get me to [...]
My Truck Feels Naked Without Snow Tires

Today, as I went to have my snow tires removed, I was hoping that nature would not play tricks on me, mere mortal. Sure enough, as I was about to leave Les Schwab with my ‘every day’ tires on, the weather changed from sunny to pouring rain. And the temperature dropped. Slushy rain was definitely [...]
