Hello Monday!

by Kristi on May 13, 2013


It’s a new week, someone just reminded me! I just read this quick roundup by Angry Julie and loved it. My pictures are on my phone, my phone is on my desk, I’m on my computer… The task of moving everything around is exhausting. 🙂 However… HELLO MONDAY! I feel like I’m whistling the Jeopardy tune for […]

So, after talking about our experience yesterday of being robbed, the husband has been busy today talking with insurance, alarm companies, neighbors, and running errands. After talking to several neighbors it just makes me cringe to know how many burglaries are so close to us!Our next door neighbor on one side was robbed three years […]

The kids are okay. (The kids are more than fine actually, they are busy watching the rest of their movie from the long drive, they don’t notice anything.) I have my wedding ring on. The house was still standing (I always envision driving up after being away and the house just a puddle of ash […]

Complain, Complain… and Upgrades!

by Kristi on January 20, 2013 · 3 comments


Funny. Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a complainer. I like to complain. I should really stop complaining so much but whatever. Anyway. I got the flu last week. I’m hardly EVER sick so it wasn’t that bad really. I usually recover from illness quickly, I’m kinda healthy. In some ways. However, I had to […]

I Have Nothing Interesting To Say

by Kristi on December 14, 2012


I simply need to keep repeating that I am heart broken over today’s tragedy. It’s nothing new to say. It’s nothing interesting to say. It’s just that I am so sad. I can’t believe that a person would walk into a classroom and shoot down innocent children. This writing is mostly for me. To be sad. […]

The Grinch!

by Kristi on December 1, 2012


We saw the Grinch tonight with our Girl Scout Troop. It was the ADBA and Freckled Frog. REALLY well done. No pictures though. However the decorations were adorable. The kids dancing and singing were fabulous! Griffin sat on my lap (he wanted to sit next to Brooke – his girrrrllll-friend) and loved the whole thing. […]

NaNoBloMo – Boom

by Kristi on November 30, 2012


Well, I did it. About a month full of blog posts. I gave up on the thankful stuff about halfway through. While I am thankful for a HELL of a lot, it really is hard to remember to SAY it out lour (or in writing) what I am thankful for on a daily basis. On […]

by Kristi on November 29, 2012 · 1 comment


    For the last two months we have been working on the house. First, we got Solar Panels from Solar City. Those took about 5 months from the initial consultation, to installment, to actually turning them on! Our electric bill which can vary from $150 a month to $300 a month was…. negative $11 […]
