Monday Musings: talents
Wow! January flew by. I’m glad though. January is usually a stressful month. Goal-wise things went very well. Stretching and karate are becoming good habits. Budgeting is… well I’m working on it and getting better. Yearbook is the same. I’m still trying to come up with a good focus topic for the year (dunno why [...]

Monday Musings: Week 2 Results & Week 3 Goals
Wow! Got sucked into the kitchen this weekend. Which is good cuz we have easy meals for the week but bad cuz I didn’t meet my other goals. But it won’t do me any good to beat myself up over that. Right? Right! So I’m gonna celebrate the successes and plan to overcome the rest. [...]

Monday Musings: From magic to memories
Just a quick post… Countdown is done. The 24 little stockings fulfilled their purpose… to make some memories and create some excitement while the month passed. No cookies set out this year though. The bell no longer rings for either of mine. Like dandy lions they grew! They did make cookies though. The two of them. [...]

Monday Musings: Candelight & Spreadsheets
Couple of pretty cool things happened last week that made me smile… Thing the first… Last week as part of our holiday countdown we had a candle light dinner as a family. The first one. The food (was not fancy) but it seemed to me the talk was freer and less hurried. Don’t get me [...]

Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed. But one of our sensei showed me (and the kids I was teaching) the trick of immediately “chambering” after each move. What you end [...]

Monday Musings: Karate
Some rather disjointed thoughts here. After last week’s post on this, I thought I had such a clear idea of the “next step”. But now, late Sunday night, I wonder about that thought. And where it went. LOL! Teaching: After Sensei’s comment (Sensei reads my blog, woot!), I thought maybe I had a better track. [...]

Monday Musings: Karate
Another alliterated title! Woot! O.o My make-ahead sessions are pretty run-o-the-mill now. Nothing new. Except maybe pressure canning chicken broth. Yeah, exciting eh? So I’ve been thinking this would be a good replacement or at least something to write about until something exciting happens in the make-ahead department. And it will help me tackle some [...]
