  January 20, 2013

  While we're not living in the house, I'm trying to make as much progress as I can in terms of redecorating.  We're taking this "opportunity" to change a few things we didn't like about the house before but weren't worth changing before, such as paint colors.  And we need prett...

  An old friend from high school messaged me on Facebook late last night.  She's someone I used to be very close to... she was one of my best friends from about 7th grade to 10th or 11th.  But sometime after high school graduation, I stopped talking to her. More or less on purpose. We kin...

  Bill is out of town for six nights, so I am completely immersed in my SSB. House is semi-clean (after being a wreck for the past week), candles are lit, and a glass of white red wine is poured.  Bill and I always drink white together, but tonight it's just me, so I'm indulging in…
