Remember this post? I have decided it is time for more random facts about me. -I hate unsolicited advice. With a passion. I can't stand when I am just talking or putting up a Facebook status and someone decides to give me advice. Unless I ask "what should I do" or some variation on that, I'm just sharing and talking. Drives. Me. Nuts. -I have to have some form of chocolate every day or else my day is not complete. -I sew because it is cheaper to make what I want then to try to find … [Read more...]
The Aftermath
Made it through the hurricane just fine. No damage. Never even lost power. I did lose satellite for a little while but it was the middle of the night. I only knew because when Matt isn't home, I often fall asleep with the TV on. I woke up to some very insane wind and saw the TV had no signal. I've officially be a "storm widow" since 5am Monday. Matt has been out of state helping with the power restoration efforts. I'm really hoping he'll be home by Thanksgiving but given the size of the … [Read more...]
Batten Down the Hatches!
Looks like Hurricane Sandy will be headed this way. If the models keep having it tracking a little more north every day, we will be in a high damage zone. If not, more like medium. Either way, the likelihood of me losing power is pretty high. The liklihood of Matt getting some storm clean-up work is also pretty high. That I am excited for. While I miss him when he is gone, the extra money is great. I had been saying for a couple months now we needed another big Halloween storm like the snow … [Read more...]
I Feel the Earth, Move, Under My Feet
So around 7pm last night I was minding my own business, when all of a sudden the house started to shake like someone was on the roof above me...but not quite. I knew it wasn't Matt. He was outside but he was working on an old Coleman lantern outside. When it didn't stop, I was worried he blew himself up. I went running around the corner. He was fine. Just an earthquake. Wait. What? Earthquake? In Maine?!?! Yup. It happens. We have one every few years or so. No reported injuries or … [Read more...]
Time Management….Fail
I am having a huge issue with time management right now. I used to be so great at balancing getting stuff done around the house with fun things and other things. Now it seems like I spend all morning being lazy then have to fit an entire day's worth of things into the afternoon. I'm not sure why this is such a struggle for me now. I know part of it is the baby. I sit down to relax a little while she is napping. The next thing I know, she's awake and I'm still on the sofa. I need to find a … [Read more...]
Got Burned and Burned Out
I'm so burned out...and hurt. And angry.I can't go into all the details but it is really starting to bother me that something I love so much always seems to blow up in my face. College, now. Doesn't matter. It never seems to end well. And while I am not the cause nor do I even contribute to the issue, I always end up taking the hit.I know life isn't fair but dang it, it should be at least once in my life!The first time this happened, it was like a bad break-up after a long-term relationship. I … [Read more...]
