Well, maybe not anything. For example, I won’t try octopus, caning, or base jumping..not even once. never (and I don’t use that word lightly) Recently, I’ve tried eating sauerkraut for the health of my small intestine (gross), running(thumbs up), acupressure (definitely works), and oil pulling(weird). I’m sure there are lots of other things I could [...]

Blog? What blog?
oh my gosh. I almost forgot that I had a blog with my very own name on it. It feels like years since I’ve been up in here. Everything that’s happened and everything I’ve done in the past few months could easily have it’s own dedicated post, but that itn’t gonna happen anytime soon….so rather [...]

Goals, Dreams, Plans, Schemes
I just recently realized something about myself…I work best with deadlines–or goals. I wanted to exercise–specifically start running–but I didn’t just want to run willy-nilly up and down the street for indeterminate amounts of time. So, I found a “plan” and set a goal. Using The Couch to 5K running plan, I intend to be [...]

Wait…What Just Happened?!
I’m not really sure how it happened, but we’re going to Florida on a gen-u-ine family vacation this summer. No family there…just going for fun. and NO we’re not going to Walt Disney World–at least I don’t think so… and we won’t if I have anything to do about it! But that’s kinda the problem [...]

Time to Use it or Lose it
Ever feel like time is slipping away from you? The older you get, the faster time flies by. I have not been as productive lately as I’d like to be. In Stephen Covey’s time quadrant (below) I’ve spent a lot of time in Quad IV…social media, Olympics, and just general piddling around. The evidence of [...]

Luck be a lady tonight, please
The black, hairy, dearly-loved, canine that lives in our home has been having some eye trouble. Typically for this one, it’s always been the ears. That poor dog has had more ear infections than the rest of us combined. So, when her eye started looking red, I was a bit worried. I’m sparing you the grossness [...]

Black Friday with a twist
The day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday, is not a shopping day for the Kelleys. We have other things in mind. Starting with breakfast-which we wait for a reasonable hour for–at our favorite place, Chick-Fil-a. And since it’s been a while since I’ve posted any pictures, I thought I tell this story mostly with pics. [...]

Where there’s a void…
“Where there’s a void, negativity will fill it.” This is from a book called “The No Complaining Rule”. awesome book, very quick read, practical, inspiring. I definitely recommend it. When I first heard that quote, I thought instantly about it in terms of communication. When there’s a void (in communication), negativity will fill it. Lots [...]

My mind-opened up for all to see.
Balance. I’ve been praying for it, searching for it. Especially as it pertains to the way I feel about the “H” word. But is balance a good thing? It occurred to me that it’s possible for balance to be the same as compromise. I don’t like that idea. Last month, I announced that I’m [...]

Don’t “miss out” on the dryer sheets tip
I want to write a blog post. I’ve got some swirling around in my head right now, or at least I did earlier when I was afc (away from computer). Right now I’m going to try and type without looking at the compyter. Head is back, eyes clsed. You see, my mind is working…tired, but [...]
