The first 35 years of my life are over. Sheesh, I didn’t know that sentence would seem so grave. I don’t really mean it that way. I like my birthday; I think it’s fun…even if my son thinks that 35 is middle-aged. I was off today, so I spent some time putzing around on Pinterest… Continue reading Birthday things.

Goal 33 * Take Pictures in Detroit
One of my birthday goals is to take pictures in Detroit. Detroit is a fascinating place. And there is so much that is visually striking. You can really see the evidence of grandeur in its past. Being there in person makes you think, “What happened? ” and “How did this happen?” But the causes don’t… Continue reading Goal 33 * Take Pictures in Detroit
Goal 15: Design, have printed, and display a poster
So, there are less about 3 weeks until my birthday, which means that I have 3 weeks to close out any goals that are going to be met for this year. The older I get, the more I think that I need to revisit my goal structure, but I don’t think this next year is… Continue reading Goal 15: Design, have printed, and display a poster
Quinoa Granola
One of the birthday goals is to make granola. I haven’t touched the goal…until now. Goals like this one work best when you spread them out across the year. But, I have a bit more than 9 months to make this goal happen. I think it’s attainable. Anyway, here I am, at home looking around… Continue reading Quinoa Granola
Goal 12
So, as most people who know me know, I have been working on a project to read a biography of each US President. The original goal was to do it within the year when I set the goal. I got off to a respectable start, but then I stalled out. I chose too many of… Continue reading Goal 12
Goal 27
One of my birthday goals was to take a picture daily for a month. I have set this goal before and failed to achieve it, so I decided to try again. This time, however, I gave myself at theme. I assigned myself to take pictures of the sky. Funny thing is, I can’t find one… Continue reading Goal 27
Pretzels (aka goal 33)
Last year one of my birthday goals was to make pretzels. I didn’t make it happen, so I carried the goal over. As I looked this year’s goals, the 33 things I want to accomplish by my 33rd birthday, I couldn’t bear the thought of having another year go by without completing this simple task,… Continue reading Pretzels (aka goal 33)
Goal 16
The recipe goal. One might say that 100 new recipes is just too much, but not I! ( Says she who is behind on this goal.) March 9 was the halfway point of the year o’ goals. I am now only at recipe number 48. You see efforts number 46, 47 and 48 in the… Continue reading Goal 16
Thinking, changing
Here I am on inauguration day thinking about everything but. It feels like I’ve decided not to go to a big party. I woke up last night several times with a racing mind. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how you’re always laying the foundation for something, whether you know it or not. In… Continue reading Thinking, changing
