First post for 2010

OMG Not one blog post in 2010. My heart just wasn't into it. My heart hasn't been into much of anything this past year. Between my husband and myself, we experienced five family deaths in six months. Nov 2009 to May 2010. It's been pretty tough to take.

The legal process in one situation is painfully slow. With the strength of family and friends, we are getting through it, but the end is nowhere in sight. We have yet to bury him, so there has been no sense of closure either. He was close to my age, so his death in particular, and the manner in which he was killed, has really shaken me up.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

Happy New Year!!!

I haven't posted since July ?!?! Yikes, I hope to do better in 2010!

What's on my mind today? My cellphone got wet. The touchpad is not functioning. It's only a couple months old.

Oh no - will it be okay? Stay tuned ...

The Pots & Pan War

My friend's thoughts about wanting a conveyor belt to wisk the ever-growing dirty dishes outside inspired my return after a very long absence. Aren't you all lucky?

My problem, however, isn't the ever-growing dirty dishes .... it's the ever-growing CLEAN pots & pans!

Each evening, I wash the pots and pans that were used for dinner and leave them in the dishrack to dry. Hubby, when not travelling, will make himself breakfast. Most of the time I find them left dirty in the sink. But, once in a while, he'll wash them and place them ON TOP of what's already by now dried in the rack. And, if I don't put the stuff away, he'll just keep piling whatever he's washed on top of it.

Hence, the pots & pan war has evolved. Let me explain the chain of events in the picture below.

1) The two large pots were placed on the counter so he could get to something that was underneath. I've left them there.

2) The next day, the two pans and spatula were removed from the rack and placed on the counter, again, so he could retrieve an item that was underneath them.

3) He did end up washing the small pot, blue plastic cup, and coffee travel mug. Instead of emptying out what was already there, he just placed everything on top. The coffee mug and small pot lid are especially driving me crazy.

Did you remember to spring forward?

Will daylight saving time boost profits?

I never thought about golf being the only sport you can't play under lights!

Ickitt? Why would one name their baby Ickitt ?

Perhaps it's a family name? or a foreign word with a beautiful meaning?

In any event, this baby's gonna have a lot of 'splainin' to do when he's older... !

UPDATE

I don't even know who this woman is ... just happened to see these articles... :o)

Was in the North Georgia mountains this weekend and saw a bit of snow. A very little bit ....
