TToT – Best Day Ever and Bedtime

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a TToT quite this late in the weekend. I’ve been doing all the things this week and through the weekend and like this awesome camouflaged Rotten Cat, I’m pretty tired. I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. But I’m here and I’m doing it but it…

TToT – The One With All the Snow

I know, I know. Everyone is tired of hearing about the snow. Believe me – I am, too. We got a lot – our official local report is 32 inches, but my back porch says more like 36. Guess we fall in the “locally heavier amounts” area. This was taken around 1:30 PM… And here’s just…

TToT – The Never-Ending Cold

I still have a cold. I think this must be the cold from hell, brought on by the unbelievably inconsistent weather here – unseasonably mild, then sub-zero wind chills, then up into the 30s, then down to the teens, then up to nearly 60 degrees, then a plummet to the 20s. No wonder my head…

TToT – I’m Back!

Did you miss me? I was a little surprised when I looked at my last TToT and realized that I skipped two weekends in a row. TToT is not something I skip. But I did say I was taking an Internet break during the holidays and apparently I was serious. I really did take a…

TToT – Lights!

Time is really getting away from me this week. I definitely don’t like when it gets to be Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t done my TToT. So I’m thankful that I’m finally getting this done, even if it is a very weak effort. For this week, can I just say I’m thankful that we finally…

TToT – To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Oh, I need to sleep. But fear not, friends. Unlike our friend Hamlet who contemplates suicide with those words in my title, I have no such morbid thoughts of ending my time here on this earth. Hamlet was a messed up dude. I’m just really tired and will take my leave here to enjoy an…

TToT – I Think I Can!

This has been one heck of a week! I feel like The Little Engine That Could. Except at the moment, I’m so tired and I really need a nap. But I’m determined to get my TToT in FRIDAY because if I don’t, it won’t happen at all. So let’s get right to it…thankfuls ahead!

TToT – We’re Here Already?

I can’t believe it’s the weekend again already. I also can’t believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, that autumn is now two-thirds past, and we’re heading rapidly toward Hanukkah next weekend and Christmas not far behind. Time moves so fast… What is it that Ferris Bueller said? “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t…

TToT – Hope

I’ve been thinking a lot about hope and faith lately. There are so many hardships in the world, so many heartaches close to home and far away. No matter who we are or how we hurt, we all need something to cling to, something to keep us moving forward when it feels like we can’t…

TToT – The Unexpected

I am not a fan of surprises. Surprise parties, unannounced visitors, restaurant servers gathered around my table singing an unenthusiastic birthday song while I sit in my seat wearing a sombrero and smiling awkwardly at a cupcake holding a flaming sparkler? Not my thing. But as I get older – and I hope wiser – I’m…
