Don’t throw birds
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The dogs and DH were down for the night. For about the tenth time, I wondered why the hell I ever downloaded Angry Birds. I should’ve known better. I am easily addicted to games of this type.
Is there an Angry Birds anonymous?
Do they have meetings?
If you haven’t tried the damned game don’t cast stones at me….

Volunteers?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yes, I’d love to have an army of volunteers to get the remaining work at the MIL’s house DONE. I haven’t wanted to deal with it during my recovery period and then a little while afterwards too. My doctor released me from most restrictions now.
The time has come that I need to get back over there and get everything done–things aren’t going to do themselves. Anyone out there know how to install attic steps? That’s the next thing I need to buy after the kitchen flooring…
We do NEED to get the house sold, the taxes are going to put a hurting on our bank account if we don’t. Mom’s bank account will be empty as soon as we pay the roofer. Now all expenses will directly hit us in the wallet.
The house MUST go!

OOOPS!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I don’t know how I missed loading one of my bags into the cart at the grocery store. I think it’s sort of funny that I didn’t notice I was a bag short until almost midnight last night.
DH had wandered back downstairs and agreed to make a midnight run to the store to see if they had my bag of items still sitting there.
We walked in and sure enough they had it! What a relief, cleaning products are pricey, and that bag was loaded with them. I even got my cloth bag back.

I’ve been socked again
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I know I’ve mentioned Sock Dreams before but I had to give them another plug after I got my new socks yesterday. I ordered them Friday night.
These socks are fast becoming an addiction for me. DH seems to enjoy it too. I often crack him up with my choice for the day. Yesterday I wore some that look like pencils. He cracked up when I showed him my feet. It’s fun to make him laugh.
One day in the near future I’ll take a picture of my sock collection. My order added four more pairs.

Another year
Posted by doggonedmysteries
As I move into a new year for my blog I am pondering what this one will bring. The possibilities are endless!
I know I’ll write more about writing, DH’s MS, and life around this loony bin that I call home.
I hope I’ll soon be writing about selling the MIL’s house, fixing our home, and new journeys into the unknown.
Hold onto your hats we’re starting a new year today.

3rd anniversary of this blog
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Tomorrow will mark the third year since I created this blog. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I can’t believe that I am still finding things to write about.
This past year has been a real strange one. DH’s mother died, I’ve finally emptied her house, and I had a heart attack. Can’t get any stranger than that.
I find that I am looking forward to another year of writing this blog. I’m hoping I can tackle my muse, hog tie her, and get her helping me again with my books. I’d dearly love to get all of them finished…sooner rather than later.
I also wouldn’t turn down any help over at the MIL’s house getting it ready to put on the market. We REALLY need to get it sold and soon!

Thank goodness the cooler weather is coming
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Now I can add soups and stews to our menu. I love to make them from scratch. It is easy to make them in a heart healthy manner too. Which is something I am trying to do with everything these days.
It’s also one way to get DH to eat less meat and more vegetables without complaining.
Over the next week or so I’ll be digging through my recipes and pulling out all my favorite soup and stews. I do have a few out and have some of the fresh ingredients on my list for the farmers market.
Don’t get me wrong, I do not like cold weather. However, I don’t mind cool weather. (We can only hope it is dry.)
