My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • The winter holidays are over, so life is on its way back to ‘normal’ again. I had not realized that it had been nearly three weeks that M was off, so this morning when he had to leave early I was a little bit surprised. It also meant that we missed our morning gym time as I had gotten used to having a slow morning. However, I must say that it is nice…

  • Just before the end of last year (yes just a few days ago), I made a list of my recent interest in podcasts. While I do have some other topics to write on, I am saving them up for my focus next week…yep, I am getting a handle on planning my posts, even for here where no one knows really who is reading…. 😉 So, today I am going to write about Serial. At…

  • _The Loney_ by Andrew Michael Hurley Looking for a “holiday” read, I saw that this book was available on Kindle. I had been waiting for it to come out since seeing it on a friend’s list of coming books, but then forgot about it amidst other reading priorities.  As my first book of 2017, I realized that I am craving some more philosophical and thought-provoking stimulation. This one did not really do it…

  • Happy New Year! Well, 2016 is finally at an end. I already recapped that yesterday, so no need to go there again.  We spent yesterday at the beach mostly and then decided to have a nice quiet evening in since neither of us really care about ringing in the new year with a crowd. So after watching “Hacksaw Ridge” (nice & uplifting, eh? 😜), we forced ourselves to stay awake. We were also…

  • At last the year is coming to a close. It has been an interesting one to say the least. I have been enjoying some of the Facebook videos about how 2016 has really been a dark year for the world and many people. It is nice to know that it was not just us who struggled even though it started out seemingly positive. As I flip back over this blog for the past…

  • In general it is no secret that I am not a fan of cooking. When I was about 12 I determined that I would find a man who would cook for me.  Post college I found friends who cooked for me and managed to convince most that I could not cook at all.  When I was in Japan and decided for sanity-sake to quit working full-time (sound familiar?!) I figured I should probably…

  • One of the aspects of being self-employed and customer-oriented is that I spend more time in the car than before – or so it seems.  A while ago I decided to stop listening to the radio or much music in the car because it was agitating me even more than the usual driving stress that is inevitable on the roads here.  However, sometimes I do need to get out of my own head…

  • For the first time in a while I have started to feel a bit relaxed. Although our troubles have not faded away, we are focusing on enjoying and looking forward to the upcoming new year. Here’s a slideshow video I made on FB of our Christmas Day brunch: We had a lovely time with old and new friends along with their visitors. It was nice that a group of us staying in the desert…

  • On the  14th of this month I posted about our/my new traditions for beginning our Christmas celebrations due to M’s birthday being on the 12th.  So, I determined that it is basically 12 days to Christmas from his birthday to Christmas Eve, which means that we can have some fun putting the song into reality.  Here is our 12 days to Christmas.  On the first day of Christmas, my hubby and me, we…

  • We went to Christmas Carols service yesterday morning at the church where we got married and where we went to evening carol service last year (or was it the year before?).  Anyway, it was a nice service, though they sing some of the songs differently – apparently it is the British 🇬🇧 way….  It was also communion, which I had not done for a long time. In fact, it reminded me of my…
