Messing about with empathy
Are sugar-free brownies worth eating? I bought a box of Pillsbury sugar-free brownie mix last year but never used it because when I made brownies, I was serving it to people besides my hubby. But yesterday, I had a friend visit who was on a special diet, so I pulled out the box and made…
Happy Winnie the Pooh Day! Winnie the Pooh is one of my all-time favorite characters. I probably liked the silly old bear and his friends before I was born since my mother took me to see him while I was still in the womb. In honor of this important holiday, I want to share some…
I shared this comic before, but I’ve been thinking about the future a lot, so I thought I would share it again. At the beginning of each year, I find a meme that speaks to me and hang it on the wall above my computer. This time I chose this comic. I had heard of…

Happy National Take the Stairs Day. I like taking the stairs. Escalators and elevators are fine, but I get a smug satisfaction when I use the stairs as if I sneaked some extra exercise in. I even take the stairs at the airport with my suitcase. It feels great when I reach the top ahead…
Today we are going to talk about bugs. Not gross creepy-crawlies, but clutterbugs. ClutterBug is a fun organizing/decluttering Youtube channel and website. There are four types of clutterbugs, bees, ladybugs, crickets, and butterflies. This short video explains how each clutterbug is different. Once you know which one you are, you can use the right tools…
I am running again. My twenty-one-week running schedule starts today and hopefully ends with me running three half marathons in three consecutive weekends in June. I took ten days off when my 2020 running streak ended, and now I’m itching to get back into an exercise routine. Luckily, this one includes rest days. It’s common…
Today goes to the dogs! There are a lot of famous dogs on Facebook. I imagine there’s one for every breed. I follow a couple, but my favorite is Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund. He lives in Canada with his sister, Daphne, and has the best videos of any animal I’ve ever seen. Crusoe has a…
