Bound for Montana Today

On Sunday, we found Chris’ grand­mother passed away. We both imme­di­ately knew, even though the trip would be short notice, we needed to go. She was in her late years and has been ill. I am bummed I did not get a chance to meet her. It is my first visit to Glas­gow, Mon­tana. I am look­ing for­ward to meet­ing his mother’s side of the family and being there as a support.

Also, we will get a chance to spend the Fourth of July in Boze­man, which should be fun. We are going to look at hous­ing while we are there and visit with friends. It has been almost a year since the last time we went to Mon­tana for Holly’s wed­ding recep­tion. It will be a quick trip but we are look­ing for­ward to it.

Google Calendar, Chores and Weekend Visitors

Last week I made a strong attempt at keep­ing up with my house­hold chores all week. I have this great system, using Google cal­en­dar, that reminds me of the daily things I can do too keep up with the chores. For the most part I ignore the list. I really want to make a change and make things easier so I pledged to stick to it for the week. I get a C+. But real­is­ti­cally I should get at least a B on the curve because it turned out to be very con­ve­nient when an out of town vis­i­tor showed up spon­ta­neously. Our friend, Scott, had a pho­tog­ra­phy assign­ment in Seat­tle. He had an extra day to hang around before his flight back to NYC, so we got the extra spe­cial plea­sure of his com­pany Friday and Sat­ur­day night.

Six Silly Things The Make Me Happy

One of the things I always wanted to do with my jour­nals is keep a run­ning tally of the little things that make me happy. It’s not a novel idea but a nice reminder to be grate­ful. I did keep that grat­i­tude jour­nal last year for about 4 months.

When I saw this meme (I can’t recall where), I thought it would be fun. So, here’s how it works:

  • List six silly things that make you happy.
  • Men­tion and link to the person who tagged you (oops, I wasn’t tagged and I don’t remem­ber where I saw it)
  • Tag six of your favorite blog­gers to play along (no tag­ging, if you’d like to par­tic­i­pate, that’s is entirely up to you as a reader of living juicy.)

In no par­tic­u­lar order, with photos, six silly things that make me happy:

If Wishes Were Horses, I’d Write About It

11:11 am — make a wish.

I wish that I would find more time to write, paint and draw. I wish that I would do the things I want to do AND the things I need to do. I wish that I wasn’t always so dis­tracted and tired. I wish that I could get out side of my own head for a bit.

Okay. Time is up.
