Pointless use of picture space

I got this from my friend LH via email. I couldn’t resist sharing.
Here’s to a wonderful holiday weekend!

I think I just figured out

What I’m getting making Mr. Hockey for his b-day (which is November 17. Shut up. They’re just socks. I love knitting socks. I know I’m ridiculous and that the chances of still dating him at that point are questionable. So what? This is a delicious looking pattern.)
But if we aren’t seeing each other anymore by [...]

My little man

DS1 came home from his first conference soccer game last night and said “Can you make me a doctor appointment for Thursday morning? I can’t run.”
Questioning him did no good. I couldn’t even get out of him clearly whether they had won or lost, what the score was or if he had even played! All [...]

sunny days

Finally the greyness is lifting around here. For being in a drought we’ve had more days of grey and rain since I returned from vacation than I would have liked. Or maybe it’s just the last week or so. I don’t know. All I know is I was starting to struggle against the bad stuff [...]

contractors

No, not me.
I’ve got a general contractor coming on Friday to start getting quotes on a couple of “deferred maintenance” projects around this place.

 refinish the upstairs bathtub (so I can stand to sit in it. heh) and give me an estimate on what it would cost to put a shower up there.
find somebody that will [...]

stupid old house

We had another storm come through this morning. It rained and blew with lightening lightning and thunder for over an hour. I don’t know maybe it rained longer than that. Libby the Wonder Poodle though she needed to go out (until she saw the rain- I told you!!!!!) but that gave me the chance [...]

It’s about damn time!

Gonzales resigned this weekend. It’s announced and official.
Maybe I’m paranoid, but I’m getting a little worried about what they’re up to with all this “house cleaning.”
Where’s a good conspiracy theorist when you need one?  — — — A year ago (or longer) on This Journey…

Restaurant Review: The St. Anthony Village Pub - redux

One of the most surprising things about this here blog space is the number of hits I get on the review I wrote for this restaurant last August. And the number of flaming comments I got on said review (most of which I just deleted. So, sue me.)
But last June a comment caught my eye. [...]

The luxury of time

When I was in high-school I had a serious boyfriend my senior year. He was a junior. Smart, cute, creative, athletic (soccer and skate-boarder…back in the late 70’s! I’m just saying.) A little bit of a bad boy (I mentioned skater, right?) And our relationship was serious. Of course, as teenagers we thought we knew [...]

Saturday reflections

I took my time getting up this morning. YM had stayed over at a friend’s–soon it will be the norm, not having her around as she is moving out next Saturday–and it was just me and Libby. I needed to be at the ISAIAH leadership retreat, but my leadership part was at the very end [...]

Welcome!

11/18/08 Note: In preparation for being away from the computer for a while, I've turned off comment moderation because I want you to be able to interact with my guest posters. Be good while I'm gone kids!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
