Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

I found my first blog!

I had to troll through the archives of every saved page on my computer - but I finally found my lost blog "The Spartan Wife!"  My blog debuted on February 9, 2009.  I actually remember writing the maiden post - we lived in Chesapeake, VA at the time.

A lot has happened since that initial post.   We moved 5 more times.   We are now empty nesters and I work part time.  

A lot has stayed the same.   I am still obsessed with cleaning shows, am still sarcastic and probably should never be taken too seriously.


Here is my first blog entry:

 I really don't make New Year resolutions. It has always seemed a little silly - if you want to do something - do it now. Don't wait six months, 30 days or 1 week to start something. (I feel the same way about the idea of driving to a track to run. Run to the track for God's sake! Not that I run or even know where a track is.) But, I digress. When I make up my mind to do something - I want that something to start right now. That's not to say everything I start is successful - or that I even start everything I desire to do - it just means once I make up my mind to try something - I do it now and without a lot of fanfare - sometimes with varying degrees of success.

Thus my decision to blog. Because people really want to know what's going on with me. I'm sure of it!  (Wink)

Then I had another idea as I was watching How Clean is Your House - an obsession of mine - I decided that I need to wear heals more often. I noticed Kim Woodburne, the mistress of clean on the show, wears heals to clean - so why shouldn't I wear them, as well? I went out and bought a pair of 2" heals that will look adorable with jeans. I haven't worn them yet - but who wears shoes when your sitting on your butt typing on your blog?

I still have the shoes but still haven't worn them with jeans.

It's Tinglng, Dammit!

I'm doing a little science project/product review. I have extremely thin lips - nothing new - they've always been thin.  Must be all that talking all my life.  Truly the only skinny thing about me.     I'm all about better living though science - so I am currently trying a hydrating lip plumper. I chose Grande Lips simply because it was in a salon, it was available, and I didn't have to go online and order it.  Did I mention I was lazy?   I went with Clear tone, that way I wasn't cornered into one color. Directions read to apply it twice a day to clean, dry lips for 30 days.  After application I am then free to apply throughout the day with any combinations of other lip products, or alone. This is my lips this morning before applying the plumper. This is after. There was a slight tingling sensation.  It's working dammit! "Don't be alarmed if you feel a slight tingling sensation; that how you know that...

Singing all by Myself

Have you ever been singing loudly with your friends, or a group of people and suddenly everyone stops.  If they aren't staring at you, they are laughing.    It happens to me quite frequently.  There are only two reasons.  One is because I cannot sing and the second is I often mishear lyrics.     Here are a few of my favorite misheard lyrics by me (and the correct lyrics in case you don't know the words, either.  You are welcome!) P robably the worst misheard lyric I claim is from Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart.   The lyrics are: "And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong" I totally blame my Catholic education for what I've been singing for 30+ years: And we'll only be naked in Christ    Then there is Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins....

It Could Have Been an Entirely Different Movie

For years, perhaps decades, one of my favorite movies was "Same Time Next Year" staring Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn.  It is about Doris and George who meet by chance at a small beach side inn and spend a night together.   They decide to meet every year at the same inn on the same weekend and do so for the next 25 years.   Oh, yeah, both are married to other people.   One of the rules of their tryst is that they cannot contact each other and can only see each other at the assigned date. Wow.  Writing this out it really sounds like a terrible movie.   It is not.  It is actually quite sweet, sometimes sad and there is never a doubt that they both love their spouses.   But they also enjoy their time together for 25 years. Of course, the viewer doesn't see all 25 reunions. Montages of world events are shown over Johnny Mathis singing a beautiful song  "The Last Time I Felt Like This."   The years of the a...
