Last week, my friend R and I went to the beach next to my house. I got a bit of a sunburn! It was nice to just lay out and chat. Then on Monday I went out with my new friend, C. Her husband works under mine, and we met at a party. She was … Continue reading Fantastic Days With Friends

Great Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend. My husband was home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, we drove across town to a coffee shop my husband loves. Then we got lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Saturday was the best day of the three. We went to a gorgeous historic plantation in a state park. I got … Continue reading Great Weekend
Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
It all comes down to finding a mate. Most men, if given the choice between a bossy and promiscuous career woman and a gentle homemaker, will choose the latter. Traditional women scare straight liberal women because they know we are more desirable to most men, and they don't want to compete with traditional women on … Continue reading Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
On My Own
My husband had been gone for a couple of days, and I have been on my own. Normally, my father in law comes to help, but since this is a short trip, I didn't want to ask him to come all the way down here. So, I have been toughing it out on my own. … Continue reading On My Own
Beautiful New Nook!
One year ago my husband ordered me a dining nook from a wonderful Amish company that makes everything by hand. Last night it arrived, and I could not be more thrilled. At restaurants I always prefer booths. Now I have one in my house. It's so comfy. It's very homey too. I am so grateful … Continue reading Beautiful New Nook!

Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
I spent some time listening to lectures today. I listened to an introduction to Kierkegaard that I found interesting. His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England. This morning … Continue reading Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
Friends, Depression, Minimalism
For the last several days I have been depressed. It has really been a struggle. Today though, I was invited by H and A from church to hang out at H's house. I looked up her address, and the drive looked like something I could do, so I went. I am so glad I did! … Continue reading Friends, Depression, Minimalism
Catholicism and Contraception
I have been exploring Catholicism for awhile now. I collect rosaries, and some Catholic teachings really appeal to me, so it makes sense to explore. One I get caught up on though, is the Catholic requirement to be "open to life" - to not use any form of contraception, and be willing to have more … Continue reading Catholicism and Contraception
Scheduling to Increase Productivity
My schedule is sometimes wide open during the day, which I love. I can do what I need to when I'm ready, and do what I want when I feel up to it. However, because of depression this sometimes means I don't get as much done as I could. Sometimes having a forcing function to … Continue reading Scheduling to Increase Productivity
