Ingrid Bergman is my Cleaning Muse

July 24, 2009
Thumbnail image for Ingrid Bergman is my Cleaning Muse

I’ve said before that I’m not a great house cleaner. As much as I love Martha, I am incapable of channeling her. But, I do like to PUT AWAY stuff. The floor might be covered in crumbs, but I hate stacks of stuff. Even when they are staring at me and mocking me.
Now, I love [...]

Operation “Get My Ass in Gear” 10 Day FollowUp

July 23, 2009

Sorta weird. Writing a blog post full of angst with some semi-conscious planning about how to get my ass in gear. AKA How to get out of my rut. Since I wrote that, my parents came into town, I’ve been knee deep in our home remodel (details to follow), cleaned up a little projectile vomit [...]

Operation “Get My Ass in Gear”-But I wrote this last week…

July 23, 2009

An intro…I wrote this ten days ago before my family came to town. I’m finally getting settled back in the routine. But, it’s always funny reading something from 10 days ago. That could just as easily be 10 YEARS ago. But, I’m going to leave this post AS IS without edits. I’ll post another in [...]

How I’m spending my Days

July 13, 2009

I’ve been trying to get back into a good rhythm for our summer. I’ve been doing lots of running around to prepare for our remodel project and have somehow slipped out of our good working schedule. Also, Tim is in China for 7 days, which means I’m trying to pace myself for long days with [...]

Out of sorts, But I’ll Stop My Whining Now

July 9, 2009

I’m way out of sorts right now. And, I’m trying hard not to go into full on OCD mode and over-analyze and freak out about life. Tim, my husband is in China for another week, so I’m playing single mom for a week. (Which, can I say really loudly…Single Parents absolutely rule. I worship at [...]

Happy 4th of July Weekend

July 5, 2009

We had a big weekend filled with house projects and a family picnic. The picnic was bombarded by crazy thunderstorms so we all moved inside. Luckily there were loads of little kids so my son, Ty, had lots of older boys to follow around. I’m grateful that we live near my husband’s family now and [...]

One of those good, productive days

July 2, 2009

I had one of those really good, productive days…the day I FINALLY stopped thinking about taking a run and actually put on my running clothes, threw Ty in the jogging stroller and actually ran. I almost shocked myself.
I was a little stir crazy eating at home this week so we went to a little [...]

Good news Tuesday

June 30, 2009

I’ve been holding my breath for a few days…a lot of things juggling in the air. My mom who has NEVER complained of one single physical ailment in my entire life called last week to tell me that she was going in for a stress test & complete cardiac workup. Why? Well, it appears that [...]

How can I switch Twitter ID’s without my family knowing?

June 28, 2009

Hello little birdy…What am I going to do with you?
I started using Twitter several months ago when I was doing some research for a friends’ company who was trying to get into the fun of social marketing. I sort of observed for a while, but slowly realized that I liked lurking and talking in the [...]
