Working

I have a part time job that serves to keep the wolves at bay when our home businesses are not doing well. My job is to answer phones for a cell phone company and I am privileged in the fact that I can choose my own hours and work from my home. And it is honestly not a hard job. But seriously, I would rather be doing 100's of other things besides answering back to back phone calls for a company I don’t own and have no interest in.

Carving wood, selling carvings, writing, spending time with my hu… Continue

Gave my all

I have been giving my all these past few days to finish this 50000 words for the NaNoWriMo novel before the deadline. I submitted my 50165 words tonight with 6 minutes to spare. This story needs refining but I feel like I have accomplished something important.
The main thing is that I learned that if I do a little every day I can accomplish a lot... and I can work quickly when under pressure.

So I guess this was a gift to myself.

Country Santa

Today my husband and I gave toys for Country Santa, a local Christmas Charity. This year the toys we had are not new but are in good condition and will clean up well. I hope the children enjoy them.

I am at 30K on my NaNo Novel. Have been writing most of the day trying to bring things together and make a story of it all. Coming down to the wire.

Cornbread waffles

Since my "cooked" post, I had a few people ask me about cornbread waffles.
I cook cornbread in a Belgian waffle iron because I don't own a oven and it is fast and nearly fool proof.

My gift today is the recipe for cornbread waffles

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
1 large egg
1 can creamed corn
1 small can chopped green chili peppers

Heat up your waffle iron while you mix all of the ingredients together. (Like I needed to t… Continue

Giving and receiving

Today was an exceptional so far.
My give today is a chest protector pants, gloves, jersey and protective underwear (tailbone protector) to friend whose son races BMX bikes. I'm putting them in a box to mail to her.
now for the receiving.
Our home business involves going to auctions and buying pallet loads of things to sell.
Today there was a group of 4 pallet loads of used luggage that no one would bid on. (You have to take it all) So the auctioneer offered it for $1. My husband bought it for $1… Continue

That was such an unselfish thing to do, to call your sister back. It is very disappointing when your hopes of all family being together on a holiday do not materialize. I wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving with your husband and children. Ver...

That is one lucky cat to have found someone who is as caring as you are. I bet he'll be back to his new "safe haven". Even if he will not be your forever friend, at least now, when he needs it the most, he has you for protection and caring thoughts.

Made space in my day to make two longish phone calls to people I care about. We can always make space for things we really care about.
