Turning Point – The First Day
There is no better way to introduce it or say it than to just do it: The Fab Hub has a brand new job!!! Woo hoo! Hooray! And thank the Lord! It’s exactly what he needs to make this break into the world of IT. It’s the door we have been hoping would open. I…
TToT – Tentative and Ambivalent
I’m having a bit of trouble with my list of thankfuls this week. It’s not that I don’t have things for which I am thankful. I do. But I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about a few of them. I thought about skipping this week, since I couldn’t quite get my brain around it, but then…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Final Recap
Well, we’re here. We’re finished. OK, maybe we’re not ever going to be finished. It’s not like we’re going to do a huge Clean and Purge and then just…not. But this long-awaited and much-need effort has reached its end. From this point forward we are on the maintenance program. And there is good reason for…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Five Update
We’re getting down to the nitty gritty now, folks. And some of it is pretty gritty. But remember that we’re talking deep clean, here. Like a major spring cleaning on steroids. This week, the BIG tackle was the stovetop and the oven. That was a major job, but after various stages of the process spread…
TToT – Dashing Off Again
I would much rather be in bed falling asleep right now than writing my TToT list. Can’t blame a girl for being honest. But the truth is that if I don’t do this now – quickly – I won’t do it at all because there won’t be a moment to do so. We’ve been busy…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Four Update
This week has been kind of a filthy one. We’ve tackled some of the bigger and – for lack of a better word – ickier jobs. We worked on the “deep clean” phase of The Great Clean and Purge Project. These are the jobs nobody likes to do. Saddle up and ride with me, friends…
TToT – Busy, Tired, and Satisfied
Emerson said, “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best, but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.” We have had a busy week. We have poured our hearts into our work and the sense of satisfaction, coupled with…
When Life Gets in the Way – A Preamble
Two years ago, my Husband and I halfheartedly talked about considering a new start. Perhaps one or both of us were ready to think about looking for something new, something that would allow us to stretch and to grow. We very tentatively started to broach the subject of what we might like to do, where we would look, and what…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Three Recap
You know, as I’m looking at that title, I’m wondering what kind of people need three weeks to clean and purge their home? Apparently, we do. Oh, right…and we’re not finished yet. In our defense, we had kind of a light week in the Clean and Purge department. We did not plow through the process…
