So, to elaborate on the last post a bit… I got a job. It doesn’t pay well and the 3 days a week that I work take a day (at least) to recover from. I’m on my feet all day in (cue evil music here) dress shoes. I don’t mind being on my feet a …

There is lots of stuff going on in my life currently. I started a new job last week. It is in retail and it is only for the duration of the holiday season. However, as temporary as it is, it still required more or less 3 days of training. I am only working 3 days …
A couple of nights ago the hubby and I were setting up for an invigorating game of scrabble (I know, we are the most boring couple on the planet!!) and we had lit a few candles on the dinning room table. Now, I’m not sure what Jiji thought that I was doing up there, but …
Have you ever really looked at a map? I mean really looked at one? It’s fascinating the things that you tend to notice when you really sit down and take a good long look at a map. When I got back to The Old Chapel I noticed that the sun was in the sky a …
I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven’t been on here in a while. That is because, my dear readers, I have been asleep or catching up on things that needed catching up on here in The Old Chapel. Mostly sleeping though to tell you the truth. I turned into sleeping beauty …
So, this morning, I get-up, ready to tackle some not so fun things that need to be done here (dealing with the move still) and I walk out to the pimp-mobile that I was rented only to find this: Here is a better shot (I just had to let you all see the expansiveness that …
Yeah yeah, I know I haven’t been up here very much in the past couple of weeks. I have a few very good reasons for this actually. A.) I was tired of posting all the time. B.) Internets were iffy a lot of the time C.) Iowa was pretty boring and D.) I have been …
Ok, so if you missed it, I would totally suggest* that you check out Whale Hunters by the National Geographic Channel. I like that the documentary makers didn’t seem to “pretty up” any of the facts about the lifestyle of the Inupiat Eskimos that hunt the bowhead whales that pass near Point Barrow each year. …
Tonight, after watching Micheal the monster mutt wrangle the goats into their pen for the night (that never ceases to amuse me) I came back to my brothers and taking advantage of the seemingly stable internet for once, decided to watch Brenda Dayne of the podcast Cast-On taking her turn on the 4th Plinth. It …
Driving up to Mason City today with my mom we passed a large group of wind turbines. I, of course, had to stop and take pictures. Be very glad that I don’t live closer to them, as this would probably become the “Look at these cool pictures I took of the wind turbines” blog pretty …
