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 6...

Snow, longer days, snow, a surprise for my sister (tickets to see Bret Michaels a few days after her birthday), snow and some baking.  A good week for us in the stock market made the HUGE project I'm working on a little more bearable.

Currently

January...

Setting goals for this week, this month, this year.

Finishing the last of the holiday treats and leftovers.

Reading Dan Brown's Inferno.  

Becoming very introspective and lost in my own head as I try to get things on the track I'd like to travel.

Wearing black pants every day with a turtleneck because I am totally predictable and uninspired.

Making more lists than I'll ever be able to get through...but embracing the need to do write things down.

Feeling hopeful, anxious, loved, blessed, cursed and approximately 329,456 other emotions.

Watching whatever is on the DVR and waiting for the new seasons to begin.

Loving the clean slate feeling that the new year brings.

Addicted to goofing off on the iPad (the ultimate time suck) and playing many games of WordScramble.

Enjoying the process of dreaming and planning and setting a new course for this life.

Planning my birthday trip to see the wild horses of Chincoteague and the Outer Banks.

Wishing for this year to be the year that is more good than sad.

Listening to Miss Olive snore.

Playing with some new fun photography apps.
