A Mouse in the House

Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day and literally the first day of 2015 that we could leave the house in short-sleeved shirts. Of course we spent most of the day outside, cleaning up all of the sticks that fell through the winter and raking up all of the leaves that had been plastered to the […]

Tribute to the Cavalier

I participate in my local Toastmaster’s club. Toastmasters is an international organization that helps people develop speaking and leadership skills. Here is the latest speech I gave, shortly after I bought my new car. Recently, I bought a new car and while this is a good thing, I couldn’t help but feel a little sad in saying […]

Throwback Friday – It’s Potty Time

Due to technical difficulties, I was unable to complete yesterday’s Throwback Thursday (look for it next Thursday…) So I hereby present a special Throwback Friday, to 1981, where a one-year-old me was already learning to multitask. I found this picture in one of Gram’s photo albums shortly after she died. It brought back a flood […]

Fun Times with Nasal Irrigation

Mmm, now there’s an appetizing title if I ever saw one! Don’t worry, I’ll try not to get too graphic with the details. I just wanted to share the joy of the neti pot as I alluded to in my last post. I bought my neti pot in the spring of 2008. I was finishing up […]

Allergies Be Gone!

One of my many attractive qualities is that I suffer from allergic rhinitis, which is more commonly referred to as just “allergies”. Itchy, watery eyes and an itchy, runny nose are pretty much guaranteed if I am not careful. I wasn’t always this way. At least I don’t think so. Somewhere in my early 20’s, […]

A Brief Recap of Recent Life

Hey ya’ll! My apologies for the serious lack of posts lately. As often happens, life seems to rise up and consume my time like a ravenous beast. I haven’t even taken time to do my morning Zentangles this week, which is an outrage. Here are some of the things I’ve been up to: Last Saturday […]

Illustrated Personal Rant Session

Once again, I’ve let slip my morning writing habit. Of course, this time it has been in favor of spending the time drawing instead of writing. So creatively, I feel like I’ve been accomplishing something. Unfortunately it doesn’t really translate to the blog. Or does it? Despite all my fun drawing in the mornings, I’ve […]

Snowy Snowfall

Hey ya’ll! I’m sitting here at my kitchen table while the snow falls lightly outside my window. We actually got let out of work early today because of the weather, although it’s not supposed to pick up until tonight. According to the predictions, it’s going to be a doozy. Up to 30″ in some spots. […]

Happy 2015 from EEC Chick!

Happy New Year! I’ve been away from WordPress for a couple of weeks now due to all the holiday fun that was going on, but now it’s a quiet, work-free afternoon and so I cannot delay posting any longer. My holidays were quite lovely and I hope yours were too. I always enjoy spending time […]
