Alaska Airlines is having a today-only sale. I usually don’t pay much attention, but today I did. I didn’t realize they flew from Missoula to Seattle, and today one way is only $94 on their Saver class. I had planned to go back to Republic in March, but still needed to pick up my SuburbanContinue reading “Sometimes Impulsive Decisions Are Good, I Hope”

AllThingsMomma is another blogger and is obviously an avid reader and has inspired me to get back into reading. I love Debbie Macomber books because she has such a variety.

So I just looked it up to see if tonight was a full moon. No, it’s in its third quarter, but it sure seemed like one, as I was out of sorts all day. I am sure a lot of it had to do with financial, technological, and just personal issues that seemed to bugContinue reading “Full Moon Kind of Day”

Some dreams are so realistic and beautiful of them. Others, like this morning, weren’t. For some reason, he was mad at me. Was my subconscious feeling guilty for some unknown reason? I don’t know. But thankfully, at the end of the dream, he was happy with me again and I was just enjoying that partContinue reading “The Dreams of Them”

I have recently had a revelation. Some of the things I got irritated at my husband about I am realizing, while on my own, I too must have done those things, because they are also happening now.
