Field trip to the vet
I guess you could say I’ve had a productive day. Of sorts. I was up late last night for no particular reason (well, I was decorating Easter eggs pretty late, so there’s that) and noticed that Caspian’s ears felt very hot to the touch, so I called the vet. Our vet is open 24 hours a…

Egg-stravaganza gets a little Geeky…
So, today I decided I wanted an art project and being that it’s Easter weekend, I decided to color some eggs. After a quick search online, I found some really fun egg ideas, including egg geodes (where you wash out the shells and make multicolored salt or sugar crystals inside of them), but my favorite…

Things I have observed today
In list form. The days I come home so exhausted that I don’t even have energy to shower and just want to collapse on the couch are the days when I most need to be clean and can’t really sit on any surfaces in the house. People read signs, if you make the letters big…

April Fools?
Did you see this post yesterday? No? How did you MISS it?? . . …. Yeah, this is a “cheater” post because I had too much going on yesterday to blog. Also I forgot it was April for most of the day. Sorry about that. BEDA commencing soon. Ish.

More Thoughts on “The Hour”
We are now about midway through the first series of The Hour and I have to say I am enjoying it. It’s suspenseful but also paced very well so that you don’t get wound too tight, nor is it dull. I think it’s interesting to see the comparisons to political clout between now and then,…

Things that make me happy
Playing string with kitties, especially MY kitties. Getting emails sent straight to my phone. Finally. Hot chocolate and a soft blanket and a nice book. Flowers. Music by Chameleon Circuit. The color green. Living near the beach. Camping. The idea of camping on the beach, while I’ve never done it, sounds like something that would…

Philippines: Looking Back
Today was the day the youth presented their experiences from the mission trips to the “stockholders” that invested in the trips. Without support, most of us couldn’t have gone. There were some good stories told by the kids, and a couple of great videos of our time there (I’m trying to get copies for you)…

Caspian’s glove phobia
(This will be short because I’m exhausted but wanted to write something for today.) Caspian has a phobia of (among other things) gardening gloves. I store my gloves in a box under the desk (which makes sense because the desk is by the porch door and this way they’re handy for doing gardening but won’t…

The Saga of the Giant Roach
Once upon a late night yon as I turned off all the lights my eyes happened to stumble on a thing which gave me a small fright. There upon my counter top I spied a monstrous insect, brown and black, antennae wave atop as it scurried all around. I froze for just an instant as…

Random Commentary on The Hour
As I mentioned in my previous post, there is a new British drama on BBC America this fall called “The Hour.” It’s about the BBC’s news hour in the 1950s, Cold War espionage and intrigue, government conspiracies and cover-ups, suspense and mystery with a dash of romance. The story centers around Bel, who is the…
