Barefoot in the Grass
Filed in Musings, March 22, 2007, 9:52 amMy dear friend and phenomenal photographer, Cassie Fox, took the most breathtaking portrait of herself and her son titled Barefoot in the Grass. Words can not accurately describe how I feel when I look at her work. Aching is probably the closest adjective. I’m incredibly lucky to know her personally because her heart is as [...]
Builder Meeting
Filed in Musings, March 20, 2007, 12:06 pmAfter much dawdling, I contacted the builder so we could get together and move forward some more with the house plans. He came by yesterday. We were supposed to close on the lot on the 25th but I knew there was no way we would make the date. It’s not a big deal because he [...]
Get well soon, dear friend
Filed in Musings, March 19, 2007, 10:59 pmWe met with the builder today but I’m not up to talking about it right now. A good friend of mine had another stroke and is in the ICU. I’m so worried about her because she’s suffering from something whose name I can’t even remember but it’s all details. I love her very much and [...]
Happy Birthday to Me!
Filed in Musings, March 18, 2007, 9:37 pmA year closer to 40 and a very uneventful day. Everyone took off while I cleaned which sounds sad but it’s not. It was some alone time bringing order back to the house and it was great. They went to see my MIL who is just back from the hospital after breaking her hip a [...]
He’s moving out!
Filed in Musings, March 16, 2007, 11:30 pmI wasn’t sure I’d ever see the day but on Sunday he will be signing the lease to his new apartment and he will no longer be living with mom. He and his now fiance will cohabitate in a place they are totally responsible for financially. I wish him well. He just turned 33 and [...]
More planning
Filed in Musings, March 15, 2007, 11:08 pmMonday we have an appointment with the builder to discuss moving on with design. This means we’ll be getting into the nitty gritty of things to submit to the city both to close on the property and to get our building permit. After that it’s on to putting my mom’s home up for sale. The [...]
The follow up
Filed in Musings, March 14, 2007, 9:52 pmWent to see the doc today for my follow-up. It’s amazing what a 12-pound loss and great labs will do for her attitude about me. Basically my labs were perfect (152 cholesterol TYVM), she was impressed with my food journal (yes, I did print it out for her–30 pages) and told me that she rarely [...]
The other one came!
Filed in Musings, , 9:11 pmWhee! The other drive came. I’m going to have Jeff help me move the armoire and I’m going to get to work getting the internal installed. Yes, I’m all a tingle.
Beautiful Day!
Filed in Musings, March 13, 2007, 11:36 amWhat a lovely, abnormally warm, day. It will get cold again by the end of the week but the sunshine and summery temps will do me just fine today.
