That subject will make sense to you if you just bear with me and my Thinking Out Loud -- I promise. Why should Christmas be white? Explain to me why you so want Christmas to be white. I've lived in the northeast for the majority of my life and as far as I'm concerned, if it never … Continue reading A white Christmas walks barefoot into a backpack: TOLT
Thursdays Are For Thinking Out Loud
Meet my personal black hole: TOLT
Fair warning: this TOLT may be sad and morbid, but then those are the sort of Thinking Out Loud thoughts I've had the last week. So if you don't want to go there, I understand, but I promise it won't all be sad. Let's dive right in It occurred to me . . . that if I … Continue reading Meet my personal black hole: TOLT
It’s hard to be randomly spontaneous: TOLT
Well, that's what I find anyway, but Thinking Out Loud is sometimes the hardest post for me to write. Which is so not what TOLT is supposed to be! You can be random, or you can be spontaneous, or . . . . . . I have no troubles, most days, sitting down and writing something spontaneously off … Continue reading It’s hard to be randomly spontaneous: TOLT
Meat or Beans? To dress or not?: TOLT
For a change I have some really random thoughts to share with you this Thinking Out Loud Thursday. Let's dive right in. Team meat or team beans? My husband insists that only chili with meat in it can be called chili. I'm guessing the real reason is he doesn't like beans. Guess what we had for dinner … Continue reading Meat or Beans? To dress or not?: TOLT
A Time for Gratitide: TOLT
My thoughts, like most of us in the United States, have turned to Thanksgiving this week and yes, I'm Thinking Out Loud about all the surrounding hoopla and work. And maybe throwing in just a wee bit of gratitude, too. 'Tis the season. Still time for Christmas Shipping At least that's what a catalog I was perusing … Continue reading A Time for Gratitide: TOLT
Thanksgiving on the brain: TOLT
I've got Thanksgiving on the brain so I'm Thinking Out Loud about it this week. Chester likes his 2 walks a day Unfortunately, it's getting very difficult to get them in as the sun dips lower and lower on the horizon. So when I don't have time to walk him in the afternoon, I let him … Continue reading Thanksgiving on the brain: TOLT
Try it, you’ll like it: TOLT
I'm sleeping much better since my husband got back last week, but Thinking Out Loud is still hard because I still have to get up early -- sometimes for Chester, sometimes for me. The next couple of weeks are sure to be busy & tiring: getting ready for Thanksgiving on top of the normal chaos. Good thing … Continue reading Try it, you’ll like it: TOLT
Am I the only one with weird musings?
I suppose Thinking Out Loud is all about those weird musings in our heads. Only when I speak to my husband, he never seems to think about this stuff. Part of why I like running is not thinking (especially if I'm trying to push the pace). Raking & mushroom picking Doesn't everyone rake at 6:45 am in … Continue reading Am I the only one with weird musings?
It’s not senior moments, I swear! I’m just tired
I am not technically a senior citizen. But I still totally have "senior" moments. It's better than believing you're crazy. Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about some of the more memorable senior moments I've had. Or at least the ones I can remember. Seniors on the bus As I was driving off to go running yesterday morning, I saw … Continue reading It’s not senior moments, I swear! I’m just tired
What’s weather got to do with it?
Yes, I am still complaining about the weather. Everyone needs a hobby, right? I'm also Thinking Out Loud about my favorite ways to destress, Thanksgiving, and whether or not pajamas are workout clothes. I want to work as a weatherman/woman We were promised some nice weather this week. I'm still waiting for it! It rains when it's … Continue reading What’s weather got to do with it?
