Where do you get your advice?

Posted by: Patricia on: May 29, 2008

I said in my last post that I was looking for a book to read.  I said that every book I picked up I couldn’t get past page 25.  Well, I picked up a great book today.  I love reading non-fiction books that I can “get” something from, you know, a life lesson.  I love [...]

5 Things I am working on

Posted by: Patricia on: May 27, 2008

1.  Making a wood cornice for my office.  I am going to make it Black with a Gold glaze (wiped off) for my new RED curtains. (Looks like a Bordello!!)
2.  Sewing.  I am in the process of making a curtains for Elliot’s room.  Her room is small and the windows are big so it is [...]

I am a Seagull and God is the Garbage Man

Posted by: Patricia on: May 27, 2008

Summer is here and I hope everyone makes it to the beach (if your from NJ…”down the shore”) at least once.  The beach area is just filled with Seagulls.  Strange birds to watch.  They are scavengers, they go around picking up everything in their path, food, rocks, and trash.  If you don’t believe me, watch [...]

I feel accomplished (at the moment)!

Posted by: Patricia on: May 23, 2008

As a stay at home mom it is so hard to feel a sense of accomplishment.  As soon as you clean, there is more to clean.  As soon as you clear the table, someone is hungry.  By the time you put the laundry away, the hampers are full.  Well I decided to tend to the [...]

New Years Resolutions

Posted by: Patricia on: May 22, 2008

Well, we are almost halfway through the year already.  Yes,  sooner we will be closer to this Christmas than last Christmas.  Fast huh??  So I am taking some time to look back at my New Year’s Resolutions?  Some of the people in my life say “I don’t set them…your just setting yourself up for failure”.  [...]

Have I conquered Laundry??

Posted by: Patricia on: May 19, 2008

Everyone has that one thing that they always seemed to struggle with.  For some it’s getting dinner on the table every night, for some it is keeping the house together, many of my friends it is their closets (disasters!!! and you know who you are). For some it is food shopping and for others it is getting [...]

Politically Correct?

Posted by: Patricia on: May 14, 2008

I am 34 years old so that makes me a product of the 90’s,  right.  One of the key phrases when I was growing up was “politically correct”.  I used it a hundred times growing up.  “Well, that is not really the politically correct word”…”That’s not being politically correct to say that or do that or [...]

Have I changed or Oprah?

Posted by: Patricia on: May 14, 2008

Lately every time I turn on Oprah I cannot believe what I am hearing and seeing.  What happened to her?? Have I changed so much that I no longer watch her show or has she changed that much that I can no longer watch her show.  Actually what I think happened is as I went far RIGHT [...]

I have not been to church in a long time!!

Posted by: Patricia on: May 9, 2008

Do to traveling or other major commitments my family has not been to church in what feels like forever.  For anyone who knows me,  I tend to be a little legalistic about not missing,  so this has been a real struggle for me.  Many times it can be one of those weeks where I don’t make the proper [...]

We are back

Posted by: Patricia on: May 8, 2008

My family went on a 2 week adventure for vacation.  It was a lot of fun but very exhausting!  We are back and missed everyone. I have some blogs in my head but it is just a matter of having the time to sit and type them out.  Hope I do.  See you later.
