things left undone

Well the first month of the year is over. How time flies. I've been away for awhile, due to technological issues as well as life's chaos being in full force. I'm back now! With some new ideas and new motivation, even though it's been a rough week personally. But first, let's take a look at how January turned out, at least on paper.


It's been a busy month. I'm disappointed in myself for only finishing about half the things I had on my list for the January, but there's always next month. We did good avoiding fast food... for the first two weeks. Then these last two weeks have been pretty much pointless. It's just so hard when we stay in town 3 nights a week and don't have a stocked kitchen of our own. But on a brighter note, I did keep my goal to work out once a week (okay I missed one week, but it's because I was very sick.)


I'm still working on getting in touch with a bankruptcy lawyer, I called, but they never called back. Thanks to clever tax filings I'm getting enough money back to file, so that's a big weight off my shoulders. ($1500 just to prove you don't have any money. nice huh?) I also haven't gotten very far with my resumes, and haven't heard from the interview I had, and don't know if I'm going to get promoted at work or not, career life in general is stressful for me to think about.


I also didn't spend as much time as I wanted with some people in my life. But that seems to be how it always goes. I didn't get to go on a hike. Not even a short one. But there's always next month. So, enough for now. More soon, promise.

a new beginning

Hello there strangers. I'm sharing this with you on my new iPhone. I'm not usually big on having new fancy things, but I'm excited. My absence in this space has been mostly due to a terrible computer that makes it nearly impossible to work on. I hope now I can finally be productive in this space again. I've missed you.   

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

the good, the bad, and the embarrassing

Our first week and a half on the farm have not been uneventful by any means. In fact, tonight on the ride home I said to the Universe (or more accurately Jonathan, since that's who heard me) "thanks for all the tests you've been throwing at us lately, but that's enough for now, please?" We expected some hard times and lots of hard work, but we weren't ready for random mishaps and accidents that would set us back so soon in the change. Bad things that have happened since we arrived: Jonathan gets a tick and the head is stuck in his back. It's been a week now and I think it's all worked out, but I was really scared. We get locked out of the Jeep, and it's $120 for a locksmith to come unlock it. We have snatched Zaphod (our kitty) off of upstairs windowsills about five times. I smacked myself in the forehead with a knife (apparently I missed the day in class when they tought you basic knife-holding skills.) It was just a little cut, mainly my ego ...
