    Downshifting

    Downshifting

    If I were going to use one word to describe myself it would be “efficient.” (Sexy, huh?) I’m competent. I get things done.

    Preparing for battle

    Preparing for battle

    No more lounging around crocheting, watching movies, and generally being a bum. Today is a teacher inservice day at the Thompson house. Monday is back to the books and regularly scheduled chaos.

    The Fridge Project

    I haven’t disappeared, just busy with family stuff. Now I have to get busy with house stuff and garden stuff. I have a project to get my kitchen cleaned and decluttered by week’s end. (We’re also getting the girl’s room ready to paint, so I may be overly ambitious. It wouldn’t be the first time.) […]
