Flurry of new reads...

A serious flurry!

I kind of go through these phases with reading.  I always love to read, but sometimes I just can't get enough... there aren't enough hours in the day for all of it!

Anyway, I've got a nice new little stack of books to keep me occupied the next few weeks, my house is all clean (not mentioning the garage though, the bane of my existence..... ugh), and I'll keep it that way.... it's usually the hazard of my flurry reading phases.... and takes the brunt of it.

So....

Starting with this today....




And so far I'm only 5 pages in and twice I've heartily laughed out loud and exclaimed "this is awesome!"

I love books in the form of journals/diaries!  Even if they are fictitious.... though this is based on a true story/ diary.  Happy day!

Some noted and laughable moments thus far:

Mattie, on the experience of her 'matrimonial bed'.... "I'd judge it took a minute, no more than two, at most.  So it is not a serious loss of time."

And on trying to be a good wife..... "I pray he does not regret our marriage, as I will not.  I should be quite out of sorts if he tried to return me like the pig, so I shall be careful not to swoll up."

Awesome blossom!!


*** Next morning (today, 3/27) Uhh..... So this book sorta sucked.  It kinda ripped my heart out.  Like jolted me.  I kept reading between the lines, but believed it couldn't be what I thought.  It was, of course.  Man, I'm naive and believe in the best in people EVEN in a book.  Ugh.

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...
