Searching for Direction & Purpose in Life's Sea of Opportunities
Random Stuff catches my fancy. I hope it can make you smile.
I love when I stumble upon amazing pockets of fun in unexpected places. My temporary position is in an industrial part of town. For my breaks and at lunch, I go on a walk (it’s all about the steps!). I quickly discovered a route that brought me to a duck pond. These guys are super happy. People… Continue reading Hidden Treasure
I have taken many flights over the years. Each and every time I diligently take out the instruction card and look at the safety features of whatever plane model I happened to be sitting in. I always pay attention to the flight attendants’ briefings. It probably doesn’t surprise anyone that a teacher’s pet would… Continue reading Flying Quirks
Yesterday, DH2U and I got home from a week vacation in snow country. It was delightful! Reading, relaxing, and socializing. I can't think of a better way to spend some time off. It was 60 degrees warmer than our last visit. That made life so much more pleasant. I've mentioned before how much I love… Continue reading Winter Holiday
With as much time as I now spend on Facebook, it is amazing how my impression of the social media giant has changed over the years. I started on Facebook back in the good old days when an invitation was required to join. (Thank you, Rebecca, for getting me through the door.) I must admit… Continue reading Facebook Impressions
Having grown up in suburban Southern California, nature to me has always been something you drove to go see … a lot like snow. I remember how excited I would get when I was young and we would pass a deer warning sign as we drove up to the mountains. Not once during those trips… Continue reading False Advertising
Growing up I assumed that how things worked in my family is how every family worked. I had no other frame of reference. As I ventured out in the world, I started to learn how very different families could operate. In my case, both Ma and Barb are the big football fans in the home.… Continue reading Gooberlocks
I took Monday off ... because I could. It was a mental health day. I first heard that term in high school from my AP English teacher. She granted us each one a semester. I gladly took mine, and Ma was more than willing to sign off on that. Considering I never ditched a day in… Continue reading Mental Health Day
Last year Ms. M set up a Ladies' Game Day. Once a month a group of us would get together and play board (or card) games. It was fun, and the ladies are wonderful. Although my life got too busy for me continue, I'm so glad I was a part, especially since it reawakened my… Continue reading Playing Games
My favorite types of brain candy posts for this blog are based on random stuff I've seen/remembered that fits into one of two categories: advertisements or pets. This week post contains both! Somehow I fell into a rabbit hole on the internet and ended up on this. Has the inventor this cat grooming bag ever… Continue reading Pet Product Insanity
I am currently visiting Ma for a long Mother's Day weekend. I flew out on the red eye flight Friday night. I hadn't done an overnight flight in well over a decade. I knew I'd be tired, but I'd never done the math before to figure out exactly why. From take off to landing, the… Continue reading Mother’s Day Trip
Grown Up, Now What?
