NP in review | Noticing Project {2009}

https://noticingproject2009.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/np-in-review

8230;……………………. Thank you for joining us for our last entry of the Noticing Project. In the collections above we have put together some of our personal favorites for each month. As we look back, we still remember the very moment and day the Noticing Project began, and it seems like merely a few moments have passed since! We will continue to view our days a little differently because of this project, and we hope you are noticing the small joys and beauty around you each day as well. Please do consider it.

...and hijinks ensued.: Her foot

http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com/2010/04/her-foot.html

Random babblings from my world. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Things change in instant, we know, we know. It's a platitude by now. Live every day like it was your last, because you never know what the next moment will bring. Seize the moment. Etcetera, etcetera. Sure, every once in a while, in a particularly somber mood, after a particularly depressing song, perhaps a little too much wine, or maybe after reading one too many headlines, we set ourselves to really considering this notion. Yet sometimes it does.

...and hijinks ensued.: The worst boyfriend ever

http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com/2009/01/worst-boyfriend-ever.html

Random babblings from my world. Wednesday, January 7, 2009. The worst boyfriend ever. I have a theory that everyone needs a horrible romantic relationship at same point in their life. I'm not talking about abusive here, but rather someone who takes you for granted, is too jealous, is unreliable, even unfaithful. . The reason for this? To find your boundaries. . As harsh as it may seem, being treated like a doormat, for most of us, will show us exactly how we don't want to be treated. . He asked me to mee...

...and hijinks ensued.: A big ol' glass of Haterade

http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com/2010/05/big-ol-glass-of-haterade.html

Random babblings from my world. Monday, May 10, 2010. A big ol' glass of Haterade. That's right, I be hatin'. On what, you ask? Nachos with not enough cheese. No one pays $12 for a $3 bag of tostitos with a side of never-enough sour cream. Cooks, you need to learn to layer that shit- a handful of chips, a pile of shredded cheese, repeat, repeat, repeat. People in McDonald's at 1am. At a 16 year old kid hysterical. I guess my sense of humour is a little more nuanced. Putting my duvet back in its cover.

...and hijinks ensued.: I know the statistics

http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-know-statistics.html

Random babblings from my world. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. I know the statistics. It takes women, on average, six to eight times to leave an abusive relationship. There's no comfort in that. Sure, it normalizes the situation a little. But normalizing doesn't get her the hell out of there. I'm just so fucking angry. Enraged. I don't know if I can ever manage to take a single breath in his presence again. It was awkward when they would argue in my presence. It was frightening when she called me in tears be...

...and hijinks ensued.: 14 days until 30

http://hijinksgalore.blogspot.com/2011/12/14-days-until-30.html

Random babblings from my world. Sunday, December 4, 2011. 14 days until 30. I hate how histrionic I'm getting about turning 30. It's like I've turned into a parody of myself somehow. I want to just let it slide on by, just another number, but instead any time that number even nudges itself into my peripheral vision, I grab onto it. I make bad jokes about all the things I'm no longer allowed to do as of two weeks from now and about turning 20. I declare "We don't speak of the 30! Appreciate this time now,...

Bee's Birthday, And Quiet Days

http://designformankind.com/2015/07/three

Bee is 3. We’ve spent the week in tiny, intermittent celebrations – a slice of cake at one grandmother’s house, a trip to the ice cream shop with another. It has been quiet, with joy. It has been sweet. Yesterday, she ran around with the fly swatter for an hour, challenging herself to exterminate all distractions. We have been running to and fro this summer, and we feel the pull. We are being stretched. Soon, the stretch will be wide enough to expand, wide enough to cover another little one. Thank you sw...

eating on the wild side

https://glutenfreegirl.com/2013/08/eating-on-the-wild-side

Eating on the wild side. August 22, 2013. We live in a crazy, beautiful world. The entire world astounds me, even with its chaos and suffering, confusion and bad processed food. Trying to find our way through it all without losing our minds feels walking through cotton batting most days. But there are moments when the sun starts to burn away the fog and everything feels clear. That’s how I felt, standing in Jo Robinson. 8216;s garden, here on Vashon, surrounded by growing vegetables and fruits. Is a huge...

30 Day Clutter Bootcamp. All Star Minimalist Blog List. 2011 Minimalist Blog List. Submissions for 2012 List. Ladder Cats and Living With Roommates. Middot; 27 Comments. Today it has rained. It has rained so much the mothball smell is finally leaving the second hand curtains I bought, the ones hanging on the line. It has rained so much that pinecones have loosened from the pine tree hovering over our tiny house, and pelted the cones down hard onto our roof. Steve has come by for brownies, sharing old sch...
