What Are You Doing With the “Extra” Day?

Today is February 29th – Leap Year Day. I found out here that this February began and ends on a Friday, and that the next time this will happen is 2036. I’ll be 67 years old in 2036. I wonder if I’ll remember about the Friday to Friday thing.
Anyway, as a member [...]

The Story of Two Trees

A few days ago, Mrs. T. of La Chucheria (sorry, Mrs. T; I don’t know how to get the accent mark…) posted this photo of a snow-covered dogwood tree in her yard (I had to boost the photo because I also couldn’t figure out how to link directly to this specific post.  I am a [...]

Guest Post!!

Dudley doesn’t have a blog of his own, so I offered to post his answers to The Manly Meme here if he wanted to play along.  He did, so I will.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you my friend, Dudley:
1. Boxers? Briefs? Boxer briefs? Thongs? Commando?
Boxer briefs
2. What’s your fussiest personal care routine?
Shaving

Ten Things Tuesday (edited)

Last Tuesday, I posted an entry about ten places where the Chili family likes to go to eat. Kizz pointed out that every single spot I mentioned last week is a chain restaurant, and she encouraged me to make a list this week of ten local places we’ve frequented.
At first, I didn’t think I [...]

For Bo, Wayfarer, Gerry, Falcon, Michael and all my other favorite blogging men. I made up a manly meme for you! Sorry if some of the questions are lame; I did the best I could (I’m a chick, after all, and [...]

I boosted this meme from Tense Teacher. [...]

As It Turns Out…

… my inner guru is named Dave!
Who’d a thought it?
Today was a mini-workshop on Kundalini yoga and because David was leading the workshop and because David loves to chant, it was a heavy on the singing.
I still haven’t figured out how to work my way around the whole chanting thing.  I understand that, for a [...]

Starting Over

Today

Hi 27°F
Tonight

Snow
Lo 20°F

Slight Chc
Snow
Hi 35°F

They’re predicting 8-10 inches of new snow tonight, starting sometime this afternoon.
Yay.
It’s likely that YNG will be canceled, which is actually NOT something I want, despite that I’m blah about going.  If we cancel, we’ll have to make those hours up, and I’d just as soon stay on schedule.
I’ve sent off [...]

Blah

I must have some form of SAD or something.  I have no gumption, no drive, no ambition whatsoever.  I can’t think of anything interesting to post today, I’m not particularly looking forward to teaching my yoga classes this afternoon, and I’m not even moved by the fact that sitting right in front of me are [...]

How Others See Me

I’ve had an interesting day, and I’m trying to figure out a way to fit words around the experiences so that you can appreciate what’s been happening.  I’m not sure I’ll succeed, but stick with me for a bit and see how I do.
I’m very often astounded by how vastly different the world is from [...]
