  • Yes, It Was That Good

    “Something Good” Sunday After Josh and I ate dinner last night, it was easy for me to decide on the good thing I was going to write about today. With it being Valentine’s Day yesterday, Josh cooked us a lovely dinner. He grilled filet mignon and asparagus that had a great vinaigrette/marinade type of seasoning… →

  • Turtles and the Big Game

    “Something Good” Sunday I waited to post this until this evening because I knew my something good was going to be the tattoo I just got. It is by far the most fun one I have. I love turtles. They’re my favorite animal and I’m a child of the 90s, so Lisa Frank was the… →

  • A Snowy Good Time

    “Something Good” Sunday And by something good, today, I mean something snowy. We were supposed to get a “bomb cyclone” of a snow storm yesterday in my state. It’s been super cold all week and the cold air was supposed to make it pure snow. And it did. For everybody east and west of my… →

  • Ice, Ice Baby

    “Something Good” Sunday We still have power! That’s my something good on this Sunday. Where I live, there’s a thin layer of ice over most everything. No power loss, which from what I’ve seen on the news, is similar to what is happening around the state. Not very many power outages. We were able to… →

  • 2016

    “Something Good” Sunday There’s a trend on social media right now. People are posting pictures of themselves from 2016. I guess somehow 2026 was picked as the year that we compare ourselves to who we were 10 years ago. I’ll play along. This is a good thing for me to reflect on since it’s Sunday… →

  • Bravo Marvel!

    “Something Good” Sunday I haven’t seen many of the Marvel movies. I think I’ve seen Iron Man 1 & 2, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and Infinity War–if that was the first one, I didn’t see the second one. End Game? These movies, while fun to watch, just weren’t my thing necessarily. I didn’t… →

  • “Something Good” Sunday—It’s My Life Now

    I go back to work tomorrow. After a solid two weeks off. I think this is the case for many people. And, like many people, I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I’m going to have to start hard-core planning the summer program I supervise. Another one of the programs I supervise is going… →

  • Good Post-Christmas Music

    It’s Sunday. As such, I usually have something posted a lot earlier in the day than almost 6:00 pm. But despite a series of days where my mood was cheerful and playful and chatty, I have run into a day where I’m just not. It happens. I woke up with an intense headache that I… →

  • So Much Happiness

    When are you most happy? I’ve got a lot of things I could say about when I’m the most happy. There have been a lot of posts about it. In fact, I have a whole, “Things That Are Making Me Happy” category here. This year has brought a lot of happiness. So many things. Engaging… →

  • “Something Good” Sunday—I Finally Danced

    I have never gone to a bar or a club and danced. When I was of the age to go out and do that, I was in college at a tiny little school in a tiny little town that was literally a 10-mile drive down a corn field to get to the school. I don’t… →
