This Week I Am Thankful For….
Source: Uploaded by user via Rachel on Pinterest You guys, last week was bad. One of the most challenging I’ve had in a long time. Someday I’ll tell you about it. Today I’m going to start the week out right and focus on the positive. This week I am thankful for: My Dogs What is…
Read MoreQuiet Contemplation
Source: borntomakeanimpact.tumblr.com via Rachel on Pinterest I was going to post this picture with the title “Quiet Contemplation” and leave it at that. But, in the interest of full disclosure, I’ll let you in. I have been without a job for exactly 1 year. Not my first bout with being gainfully unemployed. But as I…
Read MoreAwkward and Awesome
Sydney usually does this on Thrusdays, but I had enough awkwardness happen this weekend to justify a post today. Also, I may or may not have forgotten to take outfit pictures yesterday. Awkward: – While walking through Riverside park I spied a guy running while pushing 1930s antique pram and wearing booty shorts. I really…
Read MoreSecret Oilfield Wife Behavior
I was watching Sex and the City on dvd the other night (natch) and in one of the episodes the girls were talking about their SSB or Secret Single Behavior. SSB are things you did when you were single but would never dream of doing in front of your spouse/significant other. I don’t have Secret…
Read MoreIt Doesn't Have to be Perfect..
I’m linking up with Nesting Place today. Her motto for the year (forever?) is “it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” Love that. I’m trying to embrace this philosophy more on my blog. There has been more than once where I get all dressed, go outside, take photos and come in and look…

Read MoreTechnology:1 Raych:0
Its about time for me to brush the dust off this poor, neglected blog. It’s not my fault. All my technological devices conspired against me. They must have known that Husband is out of town. I almost forgot how to use a computer since I haven’t had one to use in almost a…

cuz this is about all I can do at the moment Technology is slowly trying to kill me Awkward:– My house currently resembles a furniture auction house. People have been walking through and claiming what they want. And then I mark each with a post-it so I dont forget who bought it and accidentally give…
Read MoreI feel blue….
Lots of random shiz happening today. Husband is leaving for Africa. Cabinda, Angola to be exact. I’ve been using his computer because mine is a piece of dooky. However, when I went to use my comp today I realized I left my power cord in Minnesota. Fail. Also, we canceled our internet and cable so…
