Life of a Renaissance Gal
How was your weekend? Mine was about as lazy as they come; the summer heat and humidity will do that to me. Reading… Well Fed and Well Fed 2. These Paleo cookbooks were Amazon deals this weekend. Having previously checked Well Fed out from the library, I knew they were more than worth the $2.00….
My church’s Senior Minister is always asking, “When was the last time you tried something for the first time?” In fact, they’ve decided to make that this year’s theme. After church yesterday, I began thinking about “New Things” goals for 2015. I don’t want to come up with so much that it interferes with my primary focus for…
Loving… cooler temperatures! I know I wouldn’t appreciate these temperatures as much if we didn’t have some extreme temperatures, but I sure would love to live somewhere that had more days in the 60’s and 70’s and less in the 30’s and 100’s. Eating… at Sweis Pita Bakery. I had lunch here with a friend the…
Last week I mentioned that a stray dog had appeared at my house. I’ve been searching for her family ever since. She did not have a collar/tags or microchip. I posted her photo on my neighborhood (and surrounding neighborhoods) message board, Craigslist, and contacted the OKC animal shelter. I can’t understand why, but nobody seemed to…
Wearing… Cozy Marled Cardigan. I searched high and low for an olive colored cardigan and finally found this one at Forever21. It is one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own. So cozy! Dreaming of… Hawaii. I think it’s a combination of the cold weather we’ve been having and really wanting to take a…
This Saturday, my niece and I did the Color Run in Oklahoma City. It was a lot of fun – definitely a new experience. It was my first 5K and the first time I’ve ever paid to have something thrown on me. The announcer at the starting line said that there were 4,000 runners. It…
Here are those pics from my Bartlesville trip that I said I was going to post – it’s only been a month. It was a pretty short trip; we left early Saturday morning and got home early Sunday evening. Woolaroc Lodge View from Woolaroc Lodge Our first stop was at Woolaroc, the country home of…
This one’s for those of you that are thinking of taking your own leap of faith and making a living without a conventional job. Living this life isn’t always easy. It’s different, so it’s not understood and questioned, a lot. While some people will admire your choice to give up the regular eight-to-five, others can’t…
Image Source Unknown via Pinterest Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I feel like Sally in When Harry Met Sally, “I’m going to be 40!” A friend of mine posted on Facebook yesterday that he hoped that this was the start of the best year I’ve ever had. I really liked that sentiment; I hope it is…
This has been a really tough week. My Dad passed away Tuesday night. It’s hard to imagine life without him. He had a reputation about town for being a bit cantankerous and opinionated but I wouldn’t want it any other way. He always strived for excellence and wouldn’t except anything less. Deep down he was…
