The Shoe Count*
While I was at book club last week, my fabulous ladies and I started talking about my favourite subject: shoes. I can’t remember how or why it came up as we discussed Jane Eyre, but an interesting idea came forth from it. One of the girls asked me how many pairs of shoes I actually own, and I realized that I don’t know. Not only do I not know, I have absolutely no idea. In the days before I met the Hubster–when I was a student at Ghetto U–I was a die hard shoe-a-holic. At my peak, I owned 100 pairs of shoes. I had worked at a shoe store…

Performance Day*
This is a post that has absolutely nothing to do with my new house. (Shocking, I know. haha) Yesterday was a very special day for me. I think I mentioned previously that I had been rehearsing for a small musical I was in. It was a production based on the parable of The 10 Virgins: Beautiful words and music give an identity and an individual story to each of the Ten Virgins. Each possesses a positive quality or virtue that could be wisely developed. But as their stories unfold, the struggles of their daily lives present each woman with choices that determine her path. Will she prepare herself with lamps…

The Story of the Sod Cutter*
Seven days. I can’t believe it’s been an entire week since my last post. *bows head in shame* In my defense, things have been a little crazy around here. Being homeowners has been a series of adventures. And we all know that adventures make fabulous stories. Tonight, I have a marvelous story for you. It’s called The Story of the Sod Cutter. Once upon a time, a not-so newlywed couple moved into their very first home. They knew the house needed some tender love and care, but they were young and excited and decided they were up for the challenge. As the snows melted and spring crept out from beneath…

My Secret Garden*
My hands are blistered and my back is sore… but I have a garden!!! Well, sort of. I have a beautiful pile of soil ready for planting. The Hubster and I had a lazy sleep-in morning, then after puttering around the house for a bit we kicked into high gear. He went out to do some work at the back of the house, and after finishing up the dishes I decided to visit. We strolled around the disaster area that is our current back yard and dreamed about decks, patio stones and a fence that isn’t crooked. Our fence door isn’t quite high enough off the ground and gets stuck…

Catching Up*
So, I realized I totally failed on two counts yesterday. First, the second post that I had planned to write didn’t happen. Falling asleep on the couch did. Second, yesterday was the first Thursday of the month, which means I should have debuted Dress #3 for you. Sadly, I was just too tired to put it on write anything that would make any kind of sense and it just didn’t happen. Then I planned to write it today… and failed there too. *sigh* Tomorrow, my lovelies. Today I spent time organizing my kitchen and unpacking my office, while finally catching up on some of my shows. Between my course and…
