Sometimes I wish that my wife hung out with different people. I know that it’s her choice who she wants to associate with but I don’t see any great benefit to maintaining the company that she keeps. You see, when my wife was in college she was part of a particularly snooty sorority. My wife
I am so obsessed with small things, then anything that is tiny, I feel is cute, and my partner laughs at me all of the time for wanting random things just because they are small; I was at the grocery store the other afternoon, & I noticed a tiny frying pan that was made to

I need to scrub the Heating and A/C vents in our house. They have been haunting me for weeks now. I don’t scrub the Heating and A/C vents as often as I should, that is for sure. I truly should scrub them at least once a month, however I just can’t seem to remember to
I am an avid cook. Cooking is a big activity in my family. I was taught how to cook by my Grandmother. I was thrilled to be one of her main grandchildren who was taught by her but continued to still cook. I went to culinary school & gained a degree. I now labor at
After debating different options, I decided to give my grandson a toy box for his second anniversary, but i wanted it to be truly special plus something he could use as he grows older. I didn’t want a plastic monstrosity that looks ugly plus won’t hold up to common use. I was unwilling to invest
I never wanted to live out here, let me tell you that right off the bat. When my husband suggested moving to the country to raise our family I thought he was joking. The next thing I new, he was looking at homes in the rural area and I was baffled. I agreed to go
My family consistently thinks that they know better than everybody else. It doesn’t help that we’re all generally pretty intelligent, as well as rarely make bad decisions. with a few years of success under our belts, it seems like my clan gets a little bit uppity, then they no longer suppose that other people have
I was able to afford my modern home because the village is a bit questionable, and i live walking distance from a easily charming as well as affluent area, then my street includes several abandoned homes as well as some that are not easily well cared for. I am hoping that the growth of the
My fireplace is getting fixed tomorrow, plus I cannot wait! I am so happy to finally have my fireplace back, and i have never been this long without a fireplace, but my family had a fireplace growing up, plus every single cabin that my husband plus I have lived in has had a fireplace. My
At the young age of sixteen, I started my first job. Like most first jobs, it was a lot of work for little pay, even though I was just thankful to have a job. My father passed away when I was truly young, & my mother never remarried. My Dad worked a full-time job of
My plants are exhausted from the tropical air conditions It’s interesting that I live in a semi tropical environment, and yet my garden couldn’t thrive on its own. When I first planted my tomatoes, peppers, and basil, I thought that the outdoor heat and humidity would be wonderful for my little vegetable garden. Of course,
When my mom goes grocery shopping she likes to buy the least expensive things. She even brings her coupons with her to get money off. She will save at least fifty dollars every time she goes to the store. My dad and I call her the bargain shopper, but her money saving ways have rubbed
Time flows by unnoticed most of the time as well as when I think about it I realize that 55 years have snuck by me like a thief in the night. My Mom passed away at 68 as well as there is no guarantee that I will even live that long, so my time could
People from the north have been saying that their weather has been particularly mild. People from the south have been saying that the weather has been somewhat a little chillier, but coming from the south I can say that it has been one of the coldest winters that I have ever experienced. My sister who
When I was a child I became easily obsessed with learning. There is nothing that I appreciate more on this planet than settling down with a great book and zoning out from real life. In fact, when I was five years old I declared that I would be a librarian so that I could be
