What's that expression???

(6:00 a.m.) You know, where you're really really hoping for something to happen... but it's not just wishful thinking.  It's like you "command it to happen"... no, that's not it.  "Wield it to happen" ...nope, doesn't make sense.  I'm pretty sure it starts with a "w" though.

Anyway... I'm just gonna say it.  The last few days have been pretty *beep* (insert whatever word you like... though mine's a negative 10-4).  I think it's that time where it's the end of winter and to add injury to insult (or is it "insult to injury"?), it really IS *that time*... and you just need that one really incredible and ultra bright sunny day.

Ugh... just checked the weather; gray skies, cloudy, windy and some PM showers.

---------------------------------------

(8:30 a.m.) The above entry is what happens when you post and really have no business being awake yet.  Dutch Boy hollered in a whisper, down the hall to "come back to bed"... so I did.  And when I flopped down (and even though he was mostly asleep), I asked him the same thing about the expression for hopeful/wishing thinking... of course he yawned and answered "will it to happen".  I knew it was a "w" word!  Then, oh happy day, the morning news came on and an ad for the upcoming evening TV lineup.... behind those gray clouds is a silver lining!  A new episode of 'Modern Family' comes on tonight... I don't even care if it's a good one or not, it's something to look forward to TODAY and that's all that matters.  I REALLY need to start keeping a gratitude journal again.  That's what got me through those dark, windy, Antartica-of-the-lower-48 (or is it upper?) Rexburg days when the kids were little and we couldn't open the front door for fear of our nasal cavities freezing right up.

Anyway, the birds are singing and I'm headed to a friends house in a minute, where from there we will proceed to City Light and drop off much of what was donated at the special dinner last week. =D

I'm finally going to start my indoor (to be moved outdoor when the weather gets better) garden.

I'll make some yummy soup for dinner (one of the few reasons I ever look forward to winter in the first place... "soup season"), since I'm willing "Jack Frost... be gone!"... so I've got it in my head that we've just got to sup on it, since there isn't much time left for having it ("willing" it to happen... take a breath, Liz). <---- None of this makes sense... well, in my head it does, so I'm keeping it.

It's going to be a grand-daddy of a good day!

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
