High Tech- Where’s the button?

High Tech- Where’s the button?

Watching a TV show about gadgets yesterday with hubby. They showed this super duper TV with bells and whistles and internet capabilities including email, surfing the net, face booking and more.

I mentioned to Harry that I would really love to have something like that. It would be so cool to be able to tweet from the family room chair while watching a feature movie, the twitter portion taking up only a tiny bit of the screen. Ohhh I squealed as the TV guy told me more and more about these high tech features.

Harry turned to me dead faced and handed me a 2″ thick instruction booklet for the TV we now enjoy in our family room.  I thumbed through it for a moment then asked “Harry, how about some popcorn?”, tossing the booklet into the drawer on my way to the kitchen.

New Sheets

New Sheets

Is there anything nicer than sliding into fresh new sheets? But why I ask you are good sheets for a king size bed so expensive you need to mortgage the house? As much value as I put on them, as much as I enjoy them I don’t understand what makes them so costly? I mean they are basically just a “sheet” of fabric. Big deal!

Great quote from Rupert Brooke on sheets..

“The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble…”

Metabolism

Metabolism

I’m trying to watch my diet a bit more and bring my metabolism back up to speed.  Funny there are times in my life I can eat and eat and barely gain an ounce and other times I seem to bulge with every bite I take.  At this point in my life I know it’s all about my metabolism. It is rather sluggish these days. Maybe I should run with Baxter and Kiki rather than walk?

Acceptance- an integral part of my life!

Acceptance- an integral part of my life!

yoga-422196_1280 (1)Acceptance is for me an every day thing. Just when I think everything is in order, all the cogs in my life are well oiled and working together something goes awry.  My own teachings tell me to notice my discomfort, my momentary fear and resistance to anything that changes the machinery of my life and breathe. My breath gives me the time I need to remember that everything happens for a reason and something better is in store. Then I accept what is and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Constant work

Constant work

I must admit that as I’ve gone through my Saturday, my supposed “day off” from puppy care I’ve complained about the constant work Baxter creates. Harry is supposed to watch Baxter’s antics on the weekend, but anyone who has children knows the way a man watches his flock vs a woman is diametrically different.  The bottom line is Baxter is a handful and needs the eagle eye that Harry just doesn’t have, so it’s left to me.

At the end of the day lil Bax jumps into bed and snuggles his soft, warm little curls against me and my heart melts.  I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
