The Evolution of Restrooms

I find the changing world fascinating; the progression of technology, advances in medicine and the evolution of social norms. I remember my mom saying, “What will they think of next?” and I sometimes wonder what she, my dad, and my grandma would have to say about modern day items and practices. Which leads me to … Continue reading The Evolution of Restrooms →

What’s in the Pan?

I got a new-ish sauce pan today and I'm ridiculously excited about it. If you know me, this is crazy talk. I don't really cook. I am very limited in culinary skills and repertoire. And although I suspect one of my family members is on a mission to own every kitchen gadget known to man, … Continue reading What’s in the Pan? →

Me Worry? I Confess

My name is Sue, and I’m a worrier. I don’t like that I’m a worrier, and I try to pretend that I’m not. I maintain that I don’t like to worry, but others may dispute this. The expression, “she’s not happy unless she has something to worry about” has been applied to me, I’m sure. … Continue reading Me Worry? I Confess →

February is Coming!!

Friends and family know I’m getting pretty excited about the impending arrival of the best month of the year. February! I know there are haters out there, especially in Michigan, but my love for February is as true as that of a lover for their Valentine. It’s always been that way and my Februarys are … Continue reading February is Coming!! →

Soon to be Obsolete?

I was cruising around on the internet the other day and stumbled across an article entitled, “Your Remote Control and 35 Other Things That Will Soon Be Obsolete.” I was intrigued, and let’s face it, I like lists, so I clicked the bait. Here are MY thoughts on those 36 things. Cash – Hmmm. I … Continue reading Soon to be Obsolete? →

Junk Drawer – Oh How I Miss You

I have a list of things that I am going to do/have if my husband ever leaves me. Keeping a drawer full of junk is pretty high on that list. You see, when we moved to a new home three and a half years ago, my husband decided we would give up having a junk … Continue reading Junk Drawer – Oh How I Miss You →

Minimalism – My Journey Begins

I don’t like to get too far into a new concept/religion or declare myself a supporter of a cause without looking at the true definition or meaning behind it. When I was asking my friend, Google, about minimalism this morning, both Google and Merriam Webster kept wanting to tell me about art. Not my favorite … Continue reading Minimalism – My Journey Begins →

New Year’s Resolutions (NYR)

“I hate New Year’s resolutions,” a friend said to me. “Just another promise to myself that I won’t keep. Another way to let myself down.” I found that interesting. I don’t think of resolutions that way – as a pass or fail endeavor. Oh sure, who hasn’t said, I’m going to lose 15 lbs. this … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions (NYR) →

Family Holiday Traditions

I tend to think of a tradition as something that people do periodically, at regular intervals. More specifically, annually. Perhaps that’s because many traditions are linked to things we do around the holidays which, generally, happen annually. But when I looked up the definition this morning, I found it to be a more sentimental, more … Continue reading Family Holiday Traditions →

These Dreams

“You are the architect of your dreams.” An interesting quote. True? I’ve pondered it. Perhaps more than the average person. Certainly more than my husband who claims he doesn’t dream. I dream A LOT, and I like to recount them immediately upon waking. I find dreams incredibly interesting. In the best of times, my husband … Continue reading These Dreams →
