Day 24 – 30 Day Blog Challenge

 

So, I didn’t make it, I missed a few days, my 30 days of continuous posting is shot. I missed one day and then another and another, but I am picking up the ball I dropped and moving on!!

Today’s challenge is to talk about something I have learned (in my 41 years), hmmm?

What have I learned?

I have learned that no amount of repetition helps me. I can forget a habit almost immediately.

I have learned that I need to be in charge...all the time...or something bad might happen.

I have learned that one child was the right decision for me.

I have learned that I have no self control, if I want it I HAVE to have it.

I have learned that my husband and daughter are more important than (insert anything here).

I have learned that one very good friend can make all the difference.

I have learned that I was born to knit.

I have learned that 15 years is a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

I have learned that I am still learning...

Day 23 – 30 Day Blog Challenge

Last winter we went to a small cabin in the mountains of the Adirondacks. It was right on the water, secluded and beautiful.

We rode snowmobiles in and we hiked the area on snow-shoes. We cooked on a wood stove and my girl even learned to ski.

We chopped a hole in the ice of the lake to get water and we cooked outdoors over an open fire.

We went to bed early very night, worn out and exhausted from our winter fun.

I can't wait to go do it again…

Let’s Be Thankful

I am thankful for a home and food to put on the table.

I am thankful for a husband who loves me and the extra 50 pounds I have gained since he married me.

I am thankful for a beautiful daughter with a sweet heart.

I am thankful I am not Tiger Woods.

I am thankful that I will get to see my sister today and laugh, laugh, laugh.

I am thankful I don’t have to rush anywhere and can cook this bird in my pj’s.

I am thankful for this French Silk coffee.

I am thankful that there is nothing I need bad enough to forgo sleep and dignity by going shopping tomorrow.

I am thankful...

My favorite city

Without a doubt this one is NYC. We went for our daughters' eleventh birthday and it was fantastic.

We took the train and arrived in this wonderland. We walked through Time Square like it was another country. It is impossible to see everything.

Everything is so bright and beautiful. We took a red bus tour of the city and I highly recommend it. We got a history lesson and saw some amazing sights.

My daughter and I will definitely go again!

Day 20 – 30 Day Blog Challenge

What are your nicknames?

I haven’t had many nicknames. My name just doesn’t lend itself to shortening I guess.

When my little sister was learning to talk she called me “Ea”. It sounded just like it’s spelled, long e and short a.

When I was a kid my dad called me “Lizard”. I really don’t know why, other than I hated it and he thought it was funny.

When I was in high school some people called me “Chug”, no explanation needed here.

In college I don’t recall any nickname, but I don’t recall much.

Now my nickname is “Mom” and I hear it constantly, continuously and loudly.

I am waiting for my next nickname, “Grandma”. There is no rush on that one!
