Practicing Gratitude

After having spent a wonderful, if not hot, extended weekend with the hubby, I’m thinking it’s time to show some gratitude (and maybe a little meditation later).
* I am so happy and grateful for my awesome husband and boys. They may sometimes seem to drive me crazy, but really, they’re the best.
* I am [...]

The Love of a Dreaming Cat

I learned this yesterday and then again today…when lying down reading a book, be wary of letting the cat use you as a pillow. This is especially true if he starts dreaming. Next thing you know, you too will be sound asleep.
PS - sometimes reading with the pupster can have the same effect, [...]

One Boy, Two Boy, Three Boy, Love

Today was one of those days that when the hubby left I was just bursting with love and gratitude. Maybe it was the way our cat was scared of the lawn guy’s blowers and was crying and hiding behind my hubby’s legs. Maybe it was the way that our dog was barking at [...]

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Joys of Summer

While I might not appreciate the heat of summer (and man, it gets HOT in the Valley here - nearly as not as Albuquerque, yet with humidity…gross!), but I do look forward to summer none the less.
1. fresh fruits and veggies straight from the Farmer’s Markets
2. better yet, watermelon [...]

* my upcoming haircut, brow wax and pedicure!!
* my current batch [...]

How Familiar Does This Sound?

A friend pointed this story out to me today. It sounded so familiar, I just had to share.
I Has a Sweet Potato
You know, a lot of times I write up random posts and then don’t post them. But Best Beloved just called me, and I could not really explain why I was inarticulate about [...]

Glorious Gratitude

It is officially my husband’s 45th birthday. We went out earlier this evening for a celebratory dinner (Ciudad in down town Los Angeles - very yummy) and then we settled down for a movie and a snuggle with the boys. Our cat, by the way turned 7 yesterday, so this has been a [...]

I Miss My Boys!

Wow, nearly two weeks away from my hubby is just too much. It’s just insane. I realized that while I was out of state and away from him, I missed him SO much. But once I got home, and was able to snuggle into bed with the boys, I really didn’t miss [...]

* my car
* the weather - while [...]
