I think I'm back.  I just spent some time updating the look and my info so at least one new post is called for.  I'm still alive, still married and still have pups and hoard paper.  There have definitely been some changes - both good and bad - but life continues on and I'm still doing my best to enjoy the ride.  A girls' weekend (me and the pups) is beginning, so I'm sure I'll be back again soon to share what's going on here while we embrace the beginning of fall and the rhythm of a new season.

2014 Week 7...

Ummm...more and more and more snow.  And to make it even more fun...a now broken snowplow so it's all shoveling all the time until there's a warmer day to work on it.  Good times here in Central Massachusetts.  Another good stock market week making that huge project bearable (and thankfully it's almost done).  Lots of good food.  And an excellent shopping trip - $37 of stuff for $9!  I had coupons for almost everything I bought and they took them all!

Finished my second book of the year - Six Years by Harlan Coben.  Great read!  Trying to decide what to start next.

2014 Week 5...catching up slowly...

Another long week, but at least it wasn't freezing!  Disappointing...very disappointing...football game to end the season.  We didn't even watch the entire game for the first time in years.  And yes, I managed to get my garlic to turn blue!  It was promptly removed from the roast in the crockpot even though it's safe.  Yuck.

2014 Week 3...a little late...

A lot of life happening in the past 10 days, a long, girls' weekend away and snow storms.  

It makes me feel like I've accomplished something when I get the photos off my phone and onto my computer.  Making this weekly collage is becoming a favorite routine now.

Next routine to build on - printing the photos!

2014 Week 2...

An expensive week - oil delivery and new tires for my car (and just realized yesterday we need propane too...ugh), but overall a good one.  Missing a couple pictures from John, but I am trying to get a good schedule groove going, so I'm posting without (Sorry John!).

2014 Week 1...

A good week to start the year.  Blizzard.  Extra day off.  Relaxing.  Good food.  Time with friends.
