Trivia F Student
Tuesday, January 05, 2016      25 comments

Nope, didn't make Trivia A student for December -- on track with 92% until December 28 or so and then crashed and burned. Doing TERRIBLE so far in 2016: five wrongs before I got three rights this morning. Duh! How many times ha... Read more
Tears
Monday, January 04, 2016      36 comments

DH is driving our son to the airport: his holiday at home is over, and he's back to work tomorrow. And Charlie is in mourning. He knows. Best present ? Having him home. The price of love is grief. No question.... Read more
Out with the Old!
Sunday, January 03, 2016      33 comments

One of the things we did over the holiday period was a massive communal decluttering -- with DH ordering the biggest dumpster I've ever seen, parked on our driveway outside the garage. I would NEVER have thought we could fill it. But: ... Read more
Best of the SPT Vlogs
Saturday, January 02, 2016      21 comments

Wow, any mild snarkiness I may have communicated concerning the price of the Susan Peirce Thompson boot camp ($997) and monthly Bright Lifer ($20) fees really has to be further moderated by my continuing astonishment (and gratitude) for the tru... Read more
Bonus Blog: Don't Drift Away, Invitation to MAINSTAY!
Friday, January 01, 2016      39 comments

My Spark Page lists 173 friends currently (I've edited from time to time since 2011, but remove people only when they are clearly gone permanently. Often not even then). And yup, I'm quick to add friends, of my own initiative or if anyone asks... Read more
Happy New Year Hyacinths!
Friday, January 01, 2016      26 comments

I bought groceries yesterday : the store will be closed today of course. And we were out of everything! How pleased I was to see potted spring bulbs available already: tulips, daffodils, and my favourite hyacinths. I chose white ones.... Read more
SPT Webinar, The Badly Behaving Brain
Thursday, December 31, 2015      28 comments

Oh my oh my oh my. (And yes this is long: feel free to skip it: it's just me thinking aloud as usual!! Figuring out what I think by seeing what I say . . . ) I watched last night's Webinar: SPT on the topic of "The badly behaving brain". ... Read more
SPT Video # 4: Boot Camp Hard Sell?
Wednesday, December 30, 2015      30 comments

OK then, I think Susan Peirce Thompson is very generous with respect to the free info in her first three videos. And all of the free info on her website too. But Video #4 is I think new: it references current time with bootcamp launching J... Read more

Tuesday, December 29, 2015      33 comments

Tried to post the link, without success -- but the third video in the Bright Line Eating series was offered yesterday, free: and it's on Susan Peirce Thompson's website together (with the first two and the susceptibility quizz) if you give up... Read more

New Wallpaper
Saturday, December 26, 2015      29 comments

That's a watermellen lapel pin -- on the pocket of a red quilted jacket. Most of my sparkly stuff disappeared with the break-in last July: but they missed this one! (Still on the jacket . . . ). Hope everyone who celebrates had an e... Read more
NEW WATERMELLEN PROFILE PIC!!
Friday, December 25, 2015      27 comments

I've got a new profile picture -- a terrific image made especially for me by my talented DD. Who found a blue Tshirt on the street for the background (yes, she's MY daughter: and remembers very well when I found a pink flannel plaid shirt i... Read more
Christmas Eve
Thursday, December 24, 2015      32 comments

So lovely to be home on this sparkling sunny day! Work set aside. Last run to the grocery store done and unpacked. Everything we need or could want right here, in our home. Dear son appeared at 6 pm last night: and everyone is delighte... Read more
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Tuesday, December 22, 2015      28 comments

Nope, although she borrowed the title, it's not the collection of essays by Joan Didion which is on my mind. In the run-up to Christmas, it's the original 1919 poem by Yeats I'm thinking about. Year after year, no matter what our circums... Read more
