Twisted Creativity

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on July 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The weekend has been a medicinal one for me. It didn’t start out that way: I was tired and still quite grouchy as I crawled into bed Friday night. Sometime around 3AM, I woke up and never could fall back asleep. At 5, I stumbled out of bed to get ready for the day. I [...]

Confession and Crash

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on July 22, 2008 | 7 Comments »

I don’t know what hit me, but then I rarely do. I think I am just tired, but it still doesn’t excuse the reaction.
I struggle with clinical depression and right now I am attempting to deal with it naturally. I’ve upped my Vitamin B complex intake and I try to remember to take St John’s [...]

I took off last Friday to drive over to where my husband was working on trails as a volunteer for the US Forest Service in the Ochocos. I wanted to stop in Sisters, OR, just to check out all the little artsy shops along the highway through town. I imagined it might be as fun [...]

And for my 100th post, I am going to link you to my new favorite website:

This is so great! Proof positive that Bigfoot. Falling Rock (and his cousins), Nessie, and other oddities (flashlight frogs???) exist. I didn’t think we needed any more proof (especially for Bigfoot, since they made a movie that he starred in: [...]

Score!

I need a clothesline, specifically an umbrella-type clothesline. I love clothes dried on the line and it is ridiculous to run a dryer in the summer (especially on those days when it is 90 degrees outside). I searched a couple local hardware places like Home Depot and Lowes, but they didn’t have one for sale [...]

To Know More or Not

Posted in homeschooling, tagged , , on July 14, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I am the mother of a child who knows more than I do. My father tells me that all seventeen year old kids know more than their parents, and I suppose he is right. My 21 year old would laugh and tell me that he knows more than I do, and that he always has [...]

STUPID

I read the “unconscious mutterings” and responded. Then I reread them.
“intimated” is NOT the same as “intimidated”, which is what I read! Oh, I feel stupid!
Silly, too.
My first thought on “intimated” is actually “hinted”
So ignore that last post where I read the word incorrectly and responded “not me”… I am NOT intimidated, but if you [...]

Wildlife

What’s an outdoors experience without animals?
Nope, we didn’t see many. There was an elusive Swainson’s thrush (identifiable only by his song), and the appearance of a Northern Flicker and a couple robins. A gray jay came by camp one night. Chickadees and chickarees could be heard (the latter are a native squirrel, not a bird).
We [...]
