FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Gardening.by the seat of your pants. I had someone hurl a vicious accusation at me the other day. As a matter of fact, it was at church! You’d think that in church, at least, you’d be safe from verbal assaults. I bought three lavender plants, four day lilies, a flat of purple alyssum, a flat of dusty miller and two flats of pink petunias, a couple of large bags of potting soil, and a new (. Hose (The one in the front yard is an absolute piece of. I also...

FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Monday, May 7, 2012. And Now It's Here. So even though I’ve been talking about it for years, I think I was in total denial that I would really have to sell the house and move. But, at last, the time has come. If all goes well, by tomorrow I will have a firm offer…and there will be no turning back. I suppose that when the only way you have to go is forward, there’s at least a certainty of direction. And moments when you feel you are hyperventilating. For years I’ve wanted ...

Gingersnapped!: November 2011
http://gingersnappedgirl.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Tuesday, November 29, 2011. I'm Dreaming of a Priceless Christmas. And I have to admit, once you remove the sentimental business, the ads are disturbing. I know it’s a cliché to remind everyone about the real “reason for the season,” but I can’t help considering that phrase and what it really, really means…and comparing it to the event that started all of this. Mary and Joseph were poor. I mean. And because of Mary’s pregnancy their trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem took lo...

Gingersnapped!: February 2011
http://gingersnappedgirl.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Wednesday, February 23, 2011. I really dislike it when people try to manipulate my emotions. While I'm a very emotional - some would say "volatile" - person (after "Dances With Wolves" came out I decided that my Lakota Sioux name would have to be "Cries At the Drop of A Hat), and while I express those emotions regularly, I don't like to be forced into it. One of the first questions I asked was: What did you have for dinner? Oh just this little ball of ham. Ohjust this little bit.

Gingersnapped!: October 2013
http://gingersnappedgirl.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Happiness and Four-Letter Words. There are BAD four-letter words. And then there are GOOD four-letter words. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. That beautiful Blue and Yellow four-letter word will do it almost immediately. I love IKEA. I think I could LIVE at IKEA. And the love affair has been going on for some time. When I moved last year I left a craftroom that had shelves and cupboards and drawers. Just thinking about painting all those spice r...

Gingersnapped!: July 2013
http://gingersnappedgirl.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Tuesday, July 23, 2013. I Just Might Need an Intervention. I returned from lunch the other day to find the Taffy Fairy from the university's bookstore had visited my desk. The bookstore promotions folks are lovely people, really. They email us when there are specials and they invite us, every year, to the big Office Products Show…where we wander around checking out vendor booths with all the great new merchandise. ( WOW! Have you seen the super new file folder styles? For me th...

FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Thursday, October 6, 2011. I’ve told this to people for years, but apparently I really. Have the attention span of a walnut. Maybe it’s an age thing…I don’t know. I am, after all, turning the BIG SIX-OH. In two months. (Good grief, when the heck did. Last time I checked I was fifteen…). Nothing else to do. Have made to the site. I don’t like it…I’ve tried to get used to it…but I’m not having as much fun there anymore. D'you think those blinkies are there for decoration? Want to...

Gingersnapped!: April 2011
http://gingersnappedgirl.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Friday, April 29, 2011. Denim Jumpers, Tote Bags and Here Comes the Bride. It’s Womens Conference here on campus. Every year during the week after April Graduation, thousands of women descend on campus to attend workshops and classes designed to edify, uplift, enrich and educate Mormon women. I suppose it’s a good thing. It would be a good thing if I were just. A Mormon woman…because I would probably enjoy attending. But I am a Mormon woman who works. 8230;or rules of the road.

Gingersnapped!: March 2011

FINDING THE SPICE IN LIFE! Monday, March 28, 2011. Yesterday my Behind-the-House-Across-the-Canal Neighbor taught the lesson in our women’s auxiliary meeting at church. I love when she teaches – she’s a great teacher! She does them all (but then Time Management was never really my strong suit – you may have noticed I don’t have a lot of Strong Suits). I just think she is totally. And it got me thinking about the. I’ve had in my life, and still have, and how blessed my life has been because of them. There...
