So I Was Just Thinking: January 2014
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
From Brave Girls Club. Sunday, January 12, 2014. I started this blog almost six year ago. And, yes, it has been dormant for a bit. This is mostly because of Facebook. Before Facebook, if my kids did something silly or interesting or if I felt I had something "profound" to say, I would post it on Blogger. Now, it is so quick and easy to share these ramblings as a status update. I am sure many bloggers feel the same way. Playlist has gone in the direction of online radio sites like Pandora. Instead of ...

So I Was Just Thinking: January 2015
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
From Brave Girls Club. Sunday, January 11, 2015. That's right. I ran/walked a 5K race today, and I was not last. In fact, I was seventh. When I signed up for the race, I knew it would be cold, but I didn't expect the icy day that ended up happening. Neither did the race coordinators. As the race date approached, I was watching the weather. It was going to be the coldest day of the month. In preparation, I bought cold weather running gear and kept watching the weather. I will continue running throughout J...

So I Was Just Thinking: A Meaningful Lunch
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-meaningful-lunch.html
From Brave Girls Club. Friday, July 24, 2015. My mom doesn't live too far away but we only see each other three to four times a month. Sometimes I drive to her, sometimes we meet at the movies and many times she drives to where I live to eat at the local diner. Today was one of those days. Lunch at the diner is nothing special. We usually see the same wait staff and eat the same food. Today, however, I got a big surprise. She shouted, "Mrs. Victory! And hugged my tightly. SIDE NOTE: I referred to this yo...

So I Was Just Thinking: July 2013
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
From Brave Girls Club. Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Vacationing the Groupon Way. Have you heard of Groupon. When I first heard of it, my friend ABW. Was trying to use hers up before moving back to Texas. I was unsure about them. Now, I know that they are a great way to go on vacation. It never occurred to me that the restaurant might be terrible. Unfortunately, terrible it was. From that point on I learned my lesson. I saw a deal for Vintage Villas. A hotel on Lake Travis. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Middle...

So I Was Just Thinking: Let's Try This Again
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2014/08/lets-try-this-again.html
From Brave Girls Club. Saturday, August 9, 2014. Let's Try This Again. I am not sure how many posts I have started that try to give an example of the craziness known as the thoughts that run through my mind. Let's try again, today. This led me to think about the honey-do list Bobby had before he passed away. Suddenly I was picturing the hole in the fence and felt sad that he will not be here to fix it. As I was winding my way to meet my friends, I found myself crying. What is wrong with me? Other peoples...

So I Was Just Thinking: What to Cook? What to Cook?
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-to-cook-what-to-cook.html
From Brave Girls Club. Saturday, August 8, 2015. This summer found me being a bit lazy, especially because I was on vacation for three weeks and my youngest was away for three weeks. So imagine six weeks of not cooking when the little one asks, "What's for dinner? James's favorite dinner is spaghetti. I usually keep ground beef, pasta and sauce on hand as a go-to because I know it is something he will he eat. 2 TBS Olive Oil. 1/2 Sweet onion diced. 3-4 cloves of garlic minced. 1 lb ground beef. The orega...

I'm not sure what your morning commute is like, but I will venture to say that my drive to work is far more hazardous than yours unless you are driving to work in . let say.I don't know.BEIRUT! Recently, the powers that be. Felt it necessary to inform us that we might encounter some danger on our way to work by posting this lovely sign! This is in addition to the already existing:. May Cause Drowsiness." Um, isn't that the point?

So I Was Just Thinking: OLW - FORWARD
http://soiwasjust.blogspot.com/2015/01/olw-forward.html
From Brave Girls Club. Friday, January 2, 2015. Now that 2015 is here, I find myself reflecting on 2014 and trying to choose a word to direct my life. A lot as happened this year and I want to move on. Since July my main goal was to accept the hand I was dealt. This year I would like to move FORWARD. I know that's what my love would have wanted for me. So in true Annemarie fashion, this blog will go back to the cornucopia of goodies that span all interests. I may even bring back the music. Forward sounds...
