Silence and Thunder

Silence and Thunder

I find it amazing that after 28 years together with someone we still manage to discover differences between us. Now, this one we "knew" but we didn't realize how it has affected our relationship up to this point.  I am an introvert, Ben is an extrovert. And I know they say opposites attract and that is definitely the case for us. I am quiet and shy, he is loud and outgoing. There are times this comes in handy...but other times it confuses us about each other.  Our latest conversation about this involved social media and messaging. I use social media...

Tasty Treats

I am sure, if you read my blog posts at all, you will know I have a limited diet. So when I find something I enjoy and CAN actually eat, I get very excited. Especially if it is sugary...I love me a sugary treat. hahaha So last year we found Dare Strawberry Marshmallows to eat. They are fun little marshmallows that taste amazing (I pair them with something salty....) and do not have any ingredients I cannot have. YAY! They also make a peach one I can eat, I prefer the strawberry but will eat whichever I can find. (The...

More Summer Please

The humidity has finally lifted, for now. And I know a lot of people are glad...but I don't mind it. I enjoy the heat....especially since we got heat pumps (a.k.a air conditioning) a few years back. hahaha So, when we wake up in the morning I have no idea how hot it is out, until I go outside.  I do hope it comes back, it feels more like summer when it is so hot you gotta do whatever you can to keep cool, whether that is hang in a pool in the backyard, or head to the beach or if...

The Art of Remembering: Keeping Stuff That Matters

This was my second attempt at last week's blog...the third I shared, this is the one I wrote directly after the loss and kept to share this week. I am going to start this blog by saying I wrote another whole blog about the same topic...only to lose it because I hit a wrong key...a little ironic considering this blog is about loss. hahaha So, while this is a second attempt, which I do not feel is as good....here goes....and know I will be hitting the save button after every paragraph. hahahaha  Dealing with loss is very individual, although l imagine there...

So, This is the F#@!ing Blog You Get!

I just wrote a whole blog post about dealing with loss....hit the wrong key and poof I lost it. hahahaha Ironic, yes...frustrating, hell yes. One of the problems with blogging (for the way I blog), is that once the words are out of my head and onto paper or computer...they really are gone. I have sat here for a good 10 minutes trying to remember how I even started said blog....but nothing, notta, nope could not recall any of it. I know what it was about, I know the general over arching idea it had but not the actual words...
