Posted on December 30, 2009 - by Cate. A Memorable New Years. New Years Eve, 1983. It helps to set the scene for New Years, though. To say we were tired, frazzled and disappointed would be an understatement. So you can imagine that when my friends, sisters Michelle and Katie, who were also commuter students to Butler University, called to plan a New Years Eve “on the town” adventure, I was more than a willing participant. 8220;I’m going to run back in and get my gloves! All of a sudden I heard screaming&...

Archive for the ‘Renovation’ Category. Posted on November 24, 2009 - by Cate. First Reno Project: First Floor Floors. This weekend we ripped up old, crumbling parquet floors in the dining room and front foyer. We got great advice from a hardwood floor installer regarding removal. Why is that destroying things always seems much easier than building new? It worked like a charm! The parquet was glued to a masonite subfloor. That subfloor was subsequently stapled to the plywood flooring in both rooms. Postsc...

Detox | Undaunted Spirit

Posted on January 12, 2010 - by Cate. I reviewed the detox plan for week One of the Whole Body Action Plan. We’re two days in and I feel no ill effects and have a little more energy (could just be psychological relief that this is do-able.) My husband though isn’t doing so well — portions. I came home last night to find out he had eaten my dinner as well as his own. He asked this morning, “what’s in the smoothie — anything of substance? 8221; So his withdrawal is more acute than mine. So far so good!

Okay, here goes — I really love my Dove Go Fresh Collection in Cucumber and Green Tea — shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, deodorant and body spray. I’ve gotten more compliments and “what are you wearing? 8221; and “you smell good” from this combo than any expensive perfume I have ever worn. Now when I think ab...And I have to...

Posted on January 28, 2010 - by Cate. We had been dating for a few months, seriously, and I was certainly smitten. He was outgoing, charming, and handsome. An Italian American, he reminded me of my East Coast heritage and it felt very comfortable and familiar. One day in October he asked me if I would like to meet his parents? Meet the parents were ringing in my ears as I tried to focus on his face. What did that mean? What do you mean, what does it mean? Michael picked me up and along the way described ...

Posted on March 7, 2010 - by Cate. My youngest walks in and I don’t even bother to hide the tears. What’s wrong, she asked, what’s wrong. I just shake my head — can’t talk. She is relentless and won’t stop. I refuse to answer and change the subject. What am I going to say, I’m crying because you’re growing up? I miss my babies? I worry each and every day that you’ll be safe? I just keep typing and hope that ultimately she’ll be distracted. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0.

Posted on November 30, 2009 - by Cate. From Nordstrom to CVS in 2 kids. I suppose, given the broohaha of the last few months and all the feelings stirred up by the FTC, I must fully disclose that to date, I’ve made nothing, nada, zip, zero on my blogs. I’m just getting started and I’m stretching my gray matter and I just want to concentrate on writing. So, this is not a sponsored review. Is rating this product line at 7.1 compared to their best entries in the high 8’s. This may not be the most inspiring ...

I don’t know if this is true for most women, but I find myself, at the age of 48 (just turned) at a crossroads on several fronts. (more…). Posted on January 28, 2010 - by Cate.
