My Goings-On in July: Here are the things that stand out to me this month: Not much blogging. Or reading. July was an incredibly slumpy blogging and reading month for me. Actually, let’s face it, I’ve been in a bit of a slump for almost two years now. It’s frustrating, but fretting about it doesn’t seem to help, so I guess I just have to do what I can and stop worrying about what I’m […]
My Goings-On in June: Here are the things that stand out to me this month: Writing and critiquing. I sent my draft off to critique partners and then read one of my critique partner’s manuscripts. College visit. My daughter Danielle and I went to our first (live) college visit. It was a local small liberal arts college, and we mostly went to get the feel for what a small college is like. We’ve also done a […]
My Goings-On in May: Here are the things stand out to me this month: Dog Agility. We’ve been doing agility training with Digit again. So much fun! Landscaping and gardening. We’ve been working more on the yard and the gardens. Lots of mulching and trying to get rid of weeds. Our bulbs in the front are coming up (mostly) and we’ve planted wildflower plants at the back of the yard. It’s looking better and better! […]
My Goings-On in April: I now share so many details in my Sunday Posts about everything that’s been going on that it feels really redundant to share here as well. So I’m only sharing the most important things that happened this month. Here are the things stand out to me this month: (Not much—not even much blogging. I don’t know what happened!) Landscaping and gardening. We’ve done lots of work in the back yard and […]
My Goings-On in March: I now share so many details in my Sunday Posts about everything that’s been going on that it feels really redundant to share here as well. So I’m only sharing the most important things that happened this month. Here are the things stand out to me this month: Most of this month has been spent planning for future things… Vacation planning. We haven’t been on a vacation in almost two years, so […]
My Goings-On in February: I now share so many details in my Sunday Posts about everything that’s been going on that it feels really redundant to share here as well. And, I mean, mostly we’re just staying home. So I won’t share unless something exceptional happened during the month. Here are the things stand out to me this month: I turned 47! Yikes!! My blogoversary was on 1/31, but I posted my giveaway on 2/1. […]
My Goings-On in January: I now share so many details in my Sunday Posts about everything that’s been going on that it feels really redundant to share here as well. And, I mean, mostly we’re just staying home. So I won’t share unless something exceptional happened during the month. Only two things stand out to me this month: I finished my stint as a Cybils Awards round 1 judge and we picked our finalists in […]
My Goings-On in October: Biting my nails over politics. Please, please, please let this election turn out to be a good thing and let us get back to some kind of normal! Quarantining. We spent the last two weeks indoors because my daughter was exposed to COVID through her high school swim team. She tested negative, and it was no big deal, really. Let’s face it, we haven’t been going out much lately anyway. Basement […]
My Goings-On in September: Being miserable over politics. I think this may have been my #1 activity in September, honestly. I’ve had a hard time focusing on much when I know that our country is plummeting … fast, and it doesn’t feel like there’s any real end in sight. I mean, I’d like to think reason will prevail in November, but reason seems to have flown out the window lately. I find myself in tears over the news […]
My Goings On in August: Here’s what I accomplished in August: Not much blogging. As you’ve probably noticed, most weeks I’m only managing two posts—my Sunday Post and one other. And the Sunday Posts are mostly only making it up because I really hate the idea of missing someone’s birthday or blogoversary. Seriously, it’s the only thing keeping me posting, so I guess it’s good I include it! We brought my oldest to college! Jade […]
