I've been censored.MY thoughts and feelings were apparently TOO much for people. You dont like, you dont have to read it. ...
Its suppose to be the dog days of summer. Its suppose to be wicked hot and even more wicked humid right now. It is August, in Chicago. Fortunately for me, its 65 degrees and crisp. Maybe even damp. But I love it. I could live in this weather all year. On days like today, usually in the fall, I will 'enjoy the evening',...
Everyone has their own style. Mine is casual country. I could live in my cowboy boots, my jeans and a funky top. Lately I've been buying items that I think I like only to find out I like them because they are the 'norm'. I have been deviating from my true style self. I found this website, Polyvore, where you can put together an...
Over the last two days we've had some odd weather here in Chicago-land. Rain, drizzle, POUR, drizzle, big lightening and even bigger thunder. This surely keeps things interesting. Yesterday I had to wait it out at work for the terrential rain subside. As I am power walking to my car, a huge strike of lightening strikes about 100 feet away. Okay, it was...
I spent the afternoon with the twin nephews and my sister-in-law. I always enjoy spending time with them. They are cool people, easy to get along with and always make me smile. And Kelly, she is very special to me. She understands. Thank you Kelly!Both the boys were traveling in Goofball City today. Then after their last nap, they moved to Cranky City,...
I am sitting here tonight paying bills and working the budget when I get a text from my sister Sharon. I open and its this: I totally love Zachary. He makes me smile. ...
I have a selection of blogs I read each day. Today, one of them posted this. I love it! Its a great idea! ...

This hour was spent sitting in my backyard, reading the 2nd book of my summer reading list (sad, its early August and I've only made it to my 2nd book!). While I was...
Another free constructive thing to do, a way to spend your time. Outdoor concert. The village of Plainfield had an outdoor concert tonight at their bandshell behind the town hall. It was an all woman jazz band. The forty-five minutes we, Laura, Sara + I, were there listening, they played a handful of songs from artists I didnt know and artists I do know. ...
A couple of weeks back when my sister Sharon and her family were in town, I had spent some time with my brother-in-law, Geno. He is a HUGE reader. Loves to read. Loves to read the classics. Don Quixote is his favorite, or one of his favorite novels. He loves it so much my sister has a 7ft wood Don in her house...
Many years ago, when I was a kid, I learned how to sew. My mother taught me how, we made a pair of shorts as my first project. Ever since then I've always sewed, but would take years long sabbaticals from sewing because I would get bored with the process. Today, I dusted off the sewing machine (a gift from my mother) and...
