I sit down here at my computer, with no freakin' clue what I'm going to be Thinking Out Loud about today. A smart blogger would probably just move on to polishing her Friday post, which is about 75% written. I never claimed to be a smart blogger. My blog is stuck I would love to grow the … Continue reading Putting on your oxygen mask: TOLT

Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Just call me bologna. As in, the sandwich generation. Well, I don't have kids, but I do have the furkids and I seem to attract the needy ones. And of course I also have one big kid. Yes, still feeling a bit squeezed over here. According to my research, the average American will have consumed 1,500 PB&Js by … Continue reading Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
Last week when the weather was so nice, and we actually saw the sun, I took some time and took some photos of all the furkids. Who apparently all looked chagrined -- both Lola & Gizmo actually like the camera -- a little too much sometimes -- but apparently this particular day that's all I … Continue reading Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about how I seem to fight the battle of the bulge every winter. Do I suffer from some mild SADD? Yes, absolutely. Am I less physically active? Probably. Even though I am running way more miles than I normally do in winter, it's just harder to get in extra activity when you're … Continue reading The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT
Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
I don't have any crispy new tricks for you, that was just my way of Thinking Out Loud and trying to lure you in. Did it work? Just give me crispy! Apparently if a menu item has crispy in the description -- sweet or savory -- I'm all over it. I love my sushi with "crispy" in … Continue reading Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
Who needs dumbells . . : TOLT
. . . when you have cast iron? Yes, I'm Thinking Out Loud about cast iron pans. And laundry. Raised hackles. Body envy. Definitely random thoughts this Thursday! Why is laundry so complicated? Don't machine dry, but don't hang it to dry -- you really need to dry it flat. Machine wash, but don't you dare machine … Continue reading Who needs dumbells . . : TOLT
Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Do you know where the quote "every cloud has a sliver lining" came from? I didn't, so I looked it up. Don'tcha love google? Turns out it's a quote from John Milton. From the 1600s! That Milton's clouds were a thing. That it got changed to the quote we knew in the Victorian era. Who … Continue reading Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Don’t worry about . . .: TOLT
. . . the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia. -- Charles M. Schulz I don't consider myself a worrywart, but like anything, I worry about some things. Often things in the future. And usually, when all is said and done, there wasn't really anything to worry about. But first, … Continue reading Don’t worry about . . .: TOLT
The 12 paws test: TOLT
Clothes, furkids, affirmations, a chance for a free race entry, and the scale, oh my! Another random Thinking Out Loud. Carefully choosing my clothes I make no secret of the fact that I'm a fashionista. I love clothes, and I love combining clothes into outfits; I love sparkle and soft, biker chic and a little bit … Continue reading The 12 paws test: TOLT
Are you functionally fit?: TOLT
Today is Thinking Out Loud at is best: a truly random sampling of what's swirling around in my head. Little things that puzzle me. Bigger things like selling the home I grew up in. And Bandit, of course. Can you get up off the floor? Without using your hands? Supposedly this is a measure of how long … Continue reading Are you functionally fit?: TOLT
