Diana is going 15 directions getting nothing done!
Jan 13
one day at a time? Ha! I can only muster one moment at a time, thank
you.
Jan 16
My mood is like the weather - overcast. At least it's done raining. I
don't know what the final count ended up being, but I know for sure
of 7 inches.
Jan 17
We spend years teaching our children not to turn dials, flip
switches, press buttons, touch sharp objects... then spend years
trying to undo all that work!
Jan 18
What do you serve for breakfast when nothing sounds good and every
one is hungry? Cake! (My family looked at me like I'd lost my
senses!) : )
Jan 19
Yesterday's "to do" list is almost done. We shan't talk
about today's...
Jan 19
Sleep and water are detrimental to weight loss. Before bed last
night, I weighed 177. After sleeping 178. After drinking 179.
Conclusion: one must not sleep or drink water in order to lose
weight! ; )
Jan 21
Rain is a blessing. But, I'd prefer to spread it out a bit more!
Jan 21
Mark says that we are REALLY home now... UPS and FedEx on the same
day! XD
Jan 24
Mark says he's going to throw the phone away!
Jan 26
You know you really don't want to do something when it sits in front
of you all day long and still doesn't get accomplished! :S
Jan 27
Diana is *really* emotional today.
Jan 28
bring it on! . . . ok, that's enough for the day.
Jan 30
Diana is NOT having fun.
Jan 31
and WHY haven't I set up online payments for all my cc's? hmmm? why?
It takes soooo long to call in the payment. Of course, it may help
not to wait until the last minute as well.... ; )
Feb 01
Mark and his folks went to town, I kicked the girls outside, enjoyed
10 seconds of quiet...then the phone rang. No quiet allowed.
Feb 02
Gotta love "liquid paper" - it's made especially for those
of us who can't even manage to add two and two with a calculator!
Feb 03
I have internet in my bedroom!!!
Feb 04
Diana is redecorating her bedroom! : )
Feb 06
When I grow up, I do NOT want to be an accountant. Nor a
mathematician.
Feb 13
kitchen home office potential problem: spaghetti sauce splatter on
important forms
Feb 13
celebration time! I am done with 2010! Yeah!!! Now, on to livestock
and school reports... :P
Feb 16
Diana is not a magician.
Feb 17
I think weaning cows bawl louder at night just to keep every body
awake.
Feb 18
A friend's post reminded me of this song. I thought my sister would
really enjoy it! :)
Feb 21
humming: I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas....
Feb 24
Getting up late puts every thing behind! Argh!
Feb 25
Down to 9473 "unrecognized place name"s! yippee.
Feb 26
I was going to watch a movie on my computer, but my player tells me
I can't. pout
Feb 26
computers are fun. except when they're not.
Feb 27
no power outage last night - what a blessing! With all the wind and
rain we got, I was sure that a tree would take the line down some
where!
Feb 28
after 3 days of trying this fix and that fix; using one software,
then another; searching the internet for answers... the time has
come to reinstall Windows on Arianna's computer in hopes that that
will finally take care of the multitude of problems that have
arisen.
Feb 28
wishing I could skip windows updates
Feb 28
how many people can screw up a new computer installation in 48hrs?
Mar 02
I don't know whether to scream or cry - this computer I am working
on quit installing programs on cd!
Mar 03
Woo hoo! It's working! Don't ask what I did, cause I really don't
have any idea! lol
Mar 04
I keep maxing out the memory on my desktop. :( More memory! Faster
processor! Bigger hard drive! : )
Mar 05
Today is not going as planned. Of course, I can't remember the last
time that one of my days has gone as planned, so I don't know why I
would think today would be any different...
Mar 06
I told my daughter the other day to stop spewing forth such foul
language. She was saying stuff like: adverbs, adjectives,
prepositional phrases...!

approach" -Anthony Robbins

To those worried about our living on the Oregon coast this morning
(I already received a call this morning): We are fine. We are a
little way inland and there is a mountain (1200 ft high - a hill, to
some) between us and the ocean.
Mar 11
My Grandmama of nearly 102 passed away this day. Sweet memories.
Many tears.
Mar 12
Some nights sleeping is not all that restful.
Mar 15
Mark says I play online games an average of 2.5 days a week. Sounds
bad. :S
Mar 17
In this day of instant gratification, waiting until Monday is pure
torture.
Mar 18
Just watched Forever Strong - I would never be able to play rugby!
Mar 20
I'm afraid my desk has a reproduction problem.
Mar 20
The new computers are here - now the fun begins!
Mar 21
Arianna was bursting with excitement after using her laptop for
awhile. She said: It can keep up with me! (she is usually quite good
at bogging a computer down, asking it to do too much at a time!)
Mar 22
I got to see my sister today via webcam! That was sooooo awesome! :
)
Mar 23
wham bam. I got a headache just like that!
Mar 24
For you who are still snow bound... spring is here!
Mar 26
My daughter was going on and on about a recent TV show she had been
watching and I said: And I command you to go do your chores. She
jokingly said: But you're not Colonel Mitchell (in reference to the
show)! So I said: Yes, but I am Queen Mother!
Apr 01
Diana's shin had a direct encounter with a flying 2x4 She is not feeling
well and is off playing a game
Apr 06
I cleaned off my desk so I could work at it. Yep, it's true! I
dumped it all on the floor! lol
Apr 10
Had to call the accountant for a simple QuickBooks restore and now
feel like an idiot. Why I couldn't figure it out myself I have no
idea.
Apr 14
Apr 15
I have been feeling light-headed all day, thankful to not have a J.O.B to
go to! Mark says it's nothing - just a tad of blondeness coming
through! : P
Apr 17
My day ended with getting whacked in the head by a horse's head.
Thrilling. Thankfully, I didn't have my glasses on or they would
have been flattened.
Apr 26
I was talking with my sister on the phone, while digging things out
of the refrigerator for lunch, and said: that should delete all of
the left overs!
Apr 28
I won all sorts of points tonight when I demanded that my
father-in-law remove his rank clothing and put them in the washer
(today was barn cleaning day and the stench was permeating the
house)
Apr 28
I have gotten a little side-tracked... I'll blame it on my sister! ; )
May 01
If I am able to think of "nothing" - being void of thought
at times - does that make me an "air head"?
May 02

too busy to take care of his tools" Spanish proverb

my favorite veggie seasoning blend has been discontinued. :( Any one
have a recommendation for one w/o salt and pepper?
May 13
I remember crying the first time I saw a video of the stars. I'd
never seen more than a handful at a time, though I knew there were
more. "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; What is man that
thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that thou visitest
him?"
May 14
I am sorely disappointed about Mr. Schwarzenegger's secret
May 17
Diana needs to relax. Mark asked her to look up receipts for the trailer
he's built and she had an anxiety attack! Good grief. The receipts
are organized in the filing cabinet - it's not like he asked her to
find a needle in our haystack (or, should I say, hay field)!
May 18
It's amazing how relaxing shoveling manure and bathing a horse can
be! After a nice shower, I collapsed on the couch to watch a piece
of a movie with the girls, followed by playing a FB game.
May 18
Can someone please tell me where I put the vegetable seeds? It has
been decided that today is the day to plant. It's only a quarter to
five.
May 19
quarter to seven. Seeds found. Finally. Mark had his share of
mishaps too. The gardening will wait.
May 19
the garden is planted - just in time for the rain!
May 20
I have decided.
May 22
I am transferring my photo files to Gold DVDs so I have a backup
(started yesterday). Good thing too - I've found 2 discs with
smudges and scratches that had difficulty being read!
May 23
I'm done! 10 yrs of digital imagery on 3 DVDs. Now, on to the next
item on the list...
May 23
All I want to do today is watch movies. Not pay bills. Not enjoy the
sun. Not help my daughter with school. Not even play games. Movies.
It's just not working out that way.
May 24
I knew I wanted to watch a movie instead of paying bills - I entered
ALL of the receipts in 2010! Now I have to go back and find them
all!
May 24
I told a friend of mine that the days seem to glide together. She
said that sounded more peaceful than how she would describe them:
they glob together!
May 26
my mother-in-law took a package into the ups section of Staples for
me to send to my sister. The non-foreign, 20-something guy asks:
Does ND stand for Nevada? She says no, NV is Nevada, ND is North
Dakota. He's like, oh, it's been a while...
A tid-bit I read today: We can not direct the wind, but we can
adjust our sails.
Jun 04
Watching nature in slow motion is fascinating!
Jun 07
I received the best compliment this afternoon! I was told that I
didn't look old enough to have such big kids! : )
Jun 14
might be fun... if I could release my grip from the chair just
watching it! : )

via a friend of a friend of mine: "Women are all born angels
and when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly on a
broomstick. Be warned--we are flexible like that!"

My daughter recently gave me a lovely compliment! She said:
"You read (aloud) better than the people on the audio tapes.
Instead of their monotones, you have raises and falls and change
your voice to fit the story." : )
Jun 18
a few more pictures of what is happening on the barn project... I
really need to take more pictures!
Jun 18
most everyone who knows me knows that my mind works in strange
patterns. Here I am trying to revive my computer (again!) and I think
of how wonderful the internet is (giving answers to my questions on
how to fix this piece of ingenuity). Then, I think: "Go
outside? Yeah, I've tried that one before, but the operating system
crashes and I end right back here!"
Jun 24
We got haircuts! I wish we had taken the camera to the salon!
Jun 25
It's Tuesday! How much more exciting can it get? I mean, yesterday
was Monday, and now... and NOW! it's Tuesday! ; )
Jun 28
I was just trying to start a scrapbook for 2009, but can't find my
blog entries before June that tells the story behind the photos!
Time to dig deeper, I guess.
Jul 02
peeking in to say hello ;)
Jul 30
the desktop is beeping the self-destruct countdown. I'm fairly sure
that I won't be a computer repair technician when I grow up...
Jul 31
thank you all for your birthday wishes - you warm my heart! ?
Aug 01
I'm driving Mark crazy with my click-clicking of the mouse
Aug 06
My sister and I were just talking about how "Here I Come to Save
the Day" keeps replaying in our heads, but we couldn't remember
the rest. Well.... here's the rest!
Aug 08
the kitty on my lap is hindering picture progress - he doesn't seem
to mind though
Sep 03
Only 52 new pictures to share - and not a single flower! - for three
months time? I've been slacking!
Sep 04
My youngest was reading the Lysol spray can which states that it
kills viruses and said: "hey, we can spray it on the
computer!" Permanent anti-virus protection for the PC. (yes,
she was joking)
Oct 04
but then I'm too tired to follow through...
Nov 01
sliced my left pinkie while cutting chestnuts :(
Nov 05
It is disheartening to spend the entire afternoon getting 7 quarts
of beets prepared and ready to can and have 2 break. :(
Nov 21
the girls were shrieking and giggling so loudly that I had to check
to see if they had Mark gagged and tied. He was on the floor, but
they hadn't gotten the rope out... yet. ;)
Nov 26
What did you do today? My response: Held the cat. Isn't that all
that matters? ;)
Nov 27
Dec 19
I am attempting to organize digital scrapbook papers. I think I'm
going to have to add folders with the titles "ugly, disgusting,
reprehensible, and ick" :p
