Hi all, I’ve been a little out of touch. My laptop has developed some issues with connectivity, and for a while I couldn’t stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time. In the end, I had to completely reformat my hard-drive and reinstall Windows. I’m still in the process of loading software,Continue reading “Out of Touch”

All Rolling Pins are not Created Equal
Scott and I have lived in our home for over 10 years now. We’ve done a lot of remodeling in that time. Floors, kitchen, walls. We never had a house-warming, and we’ve really done very little entertaining. Just once about 5 years ago, we invited a few friends over. In the interim, we’ve hosted dinnerContinue reading “All Rolling Pins are not Created Equal”
Austerity Revisited
Well, here’s something to add to the previous post. As most of you know, last Spring, Scott enrolled to take college courses at UNO where he works. He’s seeking to complete his bachelor’s degree, and plans to pursue graduate work in Archeology. As an employee of the University, Scott gets a discount on his tuitionContinue reading “Austerity Revisited”
Austerity
As we enter the 11th month without a job, Scott and I have started to look at how we can reduce expenses. Over the past year we’ve slowly been cutting our expenses, buying less, taking time to evaluate need versus nice to haves, that kind of thing. But now it’s time to roll up ourContinue reading “Austerity”
Mixed Feelings
It’s been a good Thanksgiving Weekend. Thursday morning, I made up three batches of Rum Balls for a Christmas Party Scott and I are having next month. I think I was beginning to get drunk just from inhaling the fumes! I finished with just enough time to shower then head over to Dad’s to pickContinue reading “Mixed Feelings”
Rambling
An Idea, an idea… my kingdom for an idea! That’s what these past two months of silence have been like. I mean, sure I’ve been doing lots of stuff… but none of it has seemed to be something I want to write about. This past week, I’ve opened my “Live Writer” every day. And everyContinue reading “Rambling”
Labor Day
It’s been a little too long since I posted last. There’s really no reason. I just haven’t felt too much like posting! Throughout the summer, I’ve been working on trying to find a new job. Of course, I’ve also had a little health concern, but it turned out to be pretty minor. At the time,Continue reading “Labor Day”
Rendezvous2009 – Day 6
Sunday, August 9, 2009. Yesterday after our visit to the Cheyenne Public Library, Scott and I drove around Cheyenne for a while, seeking out a grocery store to pick up a few things we needed for this morning’s breakfast, then topped off the tank and returned to our campsite. We were gone a lot longerContinue reading “Rendezvous2009 – Day 6”
Rendezvous2009 – Day 5
Saturday, August 8, 2009. Wow, I can’t believe it is already Saturday! Rendezvous is almost over! How can that be? We only got here a few hours ago, it seems! On the other hand, it must have been longer ago than that, I’m exhausted! This morning, the ladies came up around 8:30 or a littleContinue reading “Rendezvous2009 – Day 5”
Rendezvous2009 – Day 4
Friday, August 7, 2009. The people really started arriving today, and the site is filling up. Though the overall count is still going to probably be less than previous years. There’s a “competing” campout down in Colorado earlier in the summer. From what I hear, it’s not something I’d want to go to. Once again,Continue reading “Rendezvous2009 – Day 4”
