February 12th has come and gone and now I am a year older, a little more tired and jaded, broker then I was last year at this time, but I am a little bit wiser. Fair trade off? I’ll get back to you on that.
Honestly though, as far as birthdays go, mine was pretty nice. [...]

Just got home a little while ago, and let me tell you, boy am I glad to be home. People are crazy on the roads, that’s a given, but it’s always worse when it’s raining. It’s like all common sense they might have possessed is washed away with the rain. Not to mention the scaredy-cat [...]

Yare, yare. The day has hardly begun and I’m exhausted and ready to crawl back into bed and catch a few winks. My grandfather, unfortunately, suffers from arthritis and it has a bad habit of acting up when he least expects it. So I got called over to help load the truck with the [...]

What’s this? What’s this? There’s color everywhere? What’s this? There’s white things in the air. What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming. Wake up Joana this isn’t fair. What’s this?

Why yes Joana, I do believe that is snow that is covering your front lawn right now. And yes, I just [...]

I normally don’t like making posts about the weather, unless maybe I took some awesome pics, because let’s face it, that’d be boring. But I just feel like venting right now and since I’m trying to blog more regularly again I thought it was the perfect topic.
It’s been windy all week long, with Wednesday and [...]

Heh, I meant to get this post up a few days ago and somehow I just never got around to it. Well, first of all, I hope everyone had a good Christmas themselves. Mine was okay, nothing really great about it sadly (as I spent the day alone for the most part) but really [...]

I had to force myself to go out into the horrendous weather a couple of hours ago. Believe me, even though the house isn’t that warm (on account of the pilot being out on the heater) it’s still warmer (and drier!) inside than it is outside. And once the individual room heaters get going it’ll [...]

To all those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful turkey-day this year. For those who are getting ready to or are already out in the cold camping out for Black Friday, I wish you the best of luck in getting the items you’re looking for. I’ve done it [...]

Fall is definitely upon us now. It took ages for the leaves to start changing around here, and even though they have, everything still looks so green and lively. But for the past couple of days it has gotten very cold and today, on top of being cold and cloudy, it’s also windy as hell. [...]

Years ago some kids took great pleasure in driving around our neighborhood banging up mailboxes. As soon as you replaced your mailbox they returned and smashed it in again. Eventually it was written as a lost cause and a good amount of people switched to P.O. boxes. A couple of years back I purchased a [...]
