This & That Thursday

Those of you familiar with blogging will know that blogs are most often sprinkled with the personal lives of the authors.  Even if it’s a political/food/travel blog – whatever – personal tidbits will pop up.

Having said that, I realize no one really cares what I had for lunch today (Kraft Dinner, btw), but I am finding it difficult not to talk about some aspects of my life.  (I’ve been a ‘mommy blogger’ for a number of years, so it’s a hard habit to break!)

I think the old diet mantra, ‘everything in moderation’, can work in this situation.

And so, ‘This & That Thursday’ is born….

• To whoever was setting off firecrackers/fireworks (or whatever that was) yesterday near the high school – my poor four-legged baby didn’t think it was much fun.  I found him huddled in a corner in the bedroom trembling.
• I’m debating whether I should throw the dracaena plants in my planters away, or if they’ll survive in the garage until next year?
• I noticed today that Fields already has snow shovels in stock! (BOO)
• Apparently the Gold River Liquor Express is closed.  (No matter how much I pulled and kicked at the door, it just wouldn’t open.)  My late night trips for red wine are now over!  (another BOO)
• My Mother is moving to Gold River for the winter.  I’m not sure how I feel about this.  We’ve been at least a days drive away from family for 14 years….. there may be some growing pains.
• My main client is finally feeling the money crunch and my contract is on hold for the next month or so.
• I haven’t told the husband yet.  Good thing I work from home – he won’t notice a change in schedule! (ha)

….. Happy Thursday Gold Riverites!
