Cleaning House

Posted on: Thursday, February 25th, 2010 in: Uncategorized

Sunday was a day with two distinct personalities–the morning was restful and slow paced, spending time on things I enjoy. The afternoon was distinctly different, as when I pulled into the parking lot at the shop, I counted 31 cars (including mine and three other staffers’ vehicles), and we’re the only business open on [...]

Hello, I’m Alive!

Posted on: Friday, February 19th, 2010 in: Uncategorized

I’ve been around, for certain, as evidenced by things posted on my other, more personal blog. I’m sorry for ignoring this venue, and I’ve decided to make sure I attend to it on a regular basis, as I miss having a voice over here as well as sharing my knitting goodies and other tidbits [...]

Tuesday, Tuesday, How I Love My Tuesdays

Posted on: Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 in: Uncategorized

This one brought a beautiful day, with clear skies and sunshine. A beautiful day along the river. And time to get out and about. And I did…….lovely morning for a walk on the Riverwalk.
I broke my string of four days off in a row without any contact with the shop, but I [...]

Tuesday As A Day Off

Posted on: Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 in: Uncategorized

Yup, that wonderful feeling of a day off–third Tuesday in a row where I didn’t call into the shop, drop by the shop, or do anything really heavily shop-centric. I’m trying–really trying–to have a more balanced life. A full day off is restorative, and that means I’ll be better at my job of [...]

I’m Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Posted on: Monday, October 12th, 2009 in: Uncategorized

So, it’s been forever since I posted on a regular basis. Indulge me here…………first, there was a personal AND professional split between Matt and myself early in September (that sort of topic is addressed over here). That meant that I have additional duties around the shop, and that–compounded with three MAJOR events in [...]

Victorious Prayer-ful Women

As I was reminded by Marcia this morning, if you check the title of my previous post
The Mores Have It
but ….
The Nones Win
my apologies to any nuns out there………….bring on the ruler–I’ve taken my share of cracks across the knuckles!
OK, OK, OK–I get it. I’ve been so busy with the other blog that I [...]

The Mores Have It!

Posted on: Friday, September 11th, 2009 in: Uncategorized

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I appreciate knowing that you’re still out there, and I’m looking to make some substantive changes in how things are run around these parts. I’ve only got a couple minutes to discuss, and I’ll hopefully be back this afternoon with more (not an empty promise!).
First off, most of [...]

Breaking Radio Silence

Posted on: Thursday, August 20th, 2009 in: Uncategorized

It’s been a quirky few weeks of late, and I miss being here (whether it’s by myself or with any sort of audience that’s still around….thank you if you’re still out there). So its time to come back to life and get back to sharing and having some fun in these parts.
Yes, typical stuff [...]
