- Living, learning and searching for where I belong in life. This blog chronicles the ups and downs of my life. From home improvement, my never ending job search, parenthood, education to running a small business. I'm a student of all, but a master of none. If you have a question, I might have an answer for you, or know where you can find it. Magic is my middle name, Btown is my home, and knowledge is what I'm always seeking.

After almost 2 years in our home, we have things on the walls. We have, at my request, an art area. We have family pictures abound. And we have a nic-nac corner. Now if we could finish the rest of … Continue reading

It’s A Jungle Out There (In My Yard)
Since taking my mower to the shop to have it repaired, I have not been able to mow the lawn. When I first mowed the lawn, I only mowed the front yard. On top of that, I fertilized it as … Continue reading

The midwest felt something very strange Friday morning, there was an earthquake. I have heard so much about the quake of ’87 or the quake of ’02, but I didn’t feel or just don’t remember them. I’m only writing this … Continue reading

Feast or Famine

There is No Justice Without the Law
