Global Returning?
Happy last week of January to my fabulously wonderful warm and kindhearted friends here at PersonaPaper, who don't run away from me even though I speak my mind which is … kinda weird, strange and Krazee with a capital “K”! OK So! It's M
Gratitude Challenge Day #633
Hey there, peeps. I’m a little late on posting the Gratitude Challenge, but it’s only a few minutes after midnight. I’m just going to get right down to business, so here is my gratitude list for January 22nd....1. My loved ones are safe a
And The Snow Begins....
Hey there, everyone. I may have mentioned in one of my earlier posts that we're expecting a blizzard here on the East Coast. Welp, the snow started falling earlier this afternoon. The snow is laying, and it does look pretty outside. Now, this isn't even t
Winter Walk the Dog Think Spring
Winter white fell throughout the day and night, as did temperatures here in Canal Winchester, Ohio yesterday. Walking my dog Valentino was a slippery trip, needless to say! While walking the dog I busy myself with the Spring countdown clock in my mind with
You Can Have My Crazy. I Don't Want It.
Sometimes, you just know a day isn't going to go well. I woke up at 5.30am as usual, then decided that I would stay in bed a bit longer after Mr C left for work. My hours are not as set as his, so I get to work the hours I want when I need to. When I fina
Dusty Winter White
The first winter white of the season showed itself here in my neck of the woods today. Fortunately, the snowflakes did not fall heavily enough here in Canal Winchester, Ohio, USA to even be considered a real dusting. Nonetheless, temperatures dropped thro
Cold, Wet and Miserable
Yes, it's a very British thing to moan about the #weather. But I'm going to do it anyway. It has been MISERABLE here today. No other word for it. It has been raining all day on and off, and the barometers in my knees are telling me they're Not Happy. It's
9000 in the bank!
I have finally earned 9000 coins!!! Yayy. To be very honest, I do not see myself reaching $20 for the next 6 months but I really have a great time here. As I mentioned on a post by &cmoneyspinner, I come to Persona Paper just to rest my feet,
My Car Is Cold
Frosted grass crunched beneath my feet as I rounded the corner at the front of the house and saw my little red Honda had been dusted overnight, its windows frosted icy white. If my car could speak it would surely say, "I am cold!" But of course, so am I o
Above Freezing Temperatures
It has finally registered above freezing temperature on the thermometer here in Canal Winchester, Ohio, today! It is currently 33 degrees. I walked my dog Valentino around eight o'clock this morning. We crawled right back into our warm bed upon our return
Sunday Morning Warm-Up
Technically it is still autumn but it sure feels like winter outside! It did make me feel better to see a bit of sunshine peeking out of the clouds while walking my dog this morning. Once in from our Sunday morning walk, I checked The Weather Channel
How are things in your neck of the woods?
I have awakened this morning to a grey, cool 43F/6C, and breezy Thursday morning with winds of 11 mph/18 kmh. The winds are going to kick up this afternoon to 21 mph/33.7 kmh. It looks like we have a 55 to 90 percent chance of rain all day,
Well, I'm Still Alive!
I haven't gotten the chance to post over here, and I barely got the chance to post at another website this week. As I usually say --- life happens.The clients I have been working with have not posted any work this past week, which meant I had to take a cha
When drowned rat met soggy dog, 2004
&alexdg1’s post about getting caught in the rain reminded me of my own experience a decade ago.Mr C and I had just bought this house a couple of months previously, and I’d only been living in the area for less than a year, so was still
Yay it's finally raining!
About forty five minutes ago it starting raining, out of the blue. Literally the skies were blue when it started raining. In the time since then it has opened up and really started pouring. I moved my work station over to the window because there was an op

Today Is Going to Be Another Scorcher
The weather patterns all over the United States have been a bit crazy this summer. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have had sunshine in in these past couple of months that would rival California's typical weather. Today is to be no different. Nor h
My week of Fixing Stuff was borked
My week off thus far has consisted of: #Writing up a storm, #listing #eBay sales, sorting out, washing up, cleaning, laundry, recycling. All going well. Until I decided to involve Other People in my plans. My wonderful #ironing service boss showed up ton
Thank Goodness for Cooler Grey Skies
With our past several weeks of sunshine, no rain, and temperatures in the mid-80s to nearly 100F (37C), today's cloud cover has been a welcome change. It has been grey all day, the temperature at 4:30 p.m. is a mild 72F (22C), with a soft breeze of 9
For Those Who Think It Rains All the Time in Washington State (Seattle)
I hear so many talk about how it rains "all the time" here in the Pacific Northwest. They speak about how "gloomy" it is, and all the various jokes that are told about living in our area. I really that people need to get their facts straight. I
Weather Tonight & Something On Here I Just Learned How To Do
Hello, It is June 29th @ almost 2am. It's a humid night I must say, but no thunder or lightning so far. The humidity is at 81% so who knows if we will get a storm. We may not even get it. I will admit though today was coole
Ughhh, This Day….
The weather is nice, the work is there, but my motivation is slowly decreasing. Isn’t that swell?! :-/We only have the little guy today, and he has been out of sorts. Getting into things, standing and running on the couch, hitting when he doesn&rsquo
Another Slow Day......
So the job boards were starting to look normal, but then today things got slow. I know it will pick up, but it's still annoying. *Sigh* I went to the Safeway, Starbucks and Subway in the meantime, and spent some time blogging elsewhere. I hope tomorrow wil

Is Floyd really better than Ali?
Just recently, an interview was done by a Stephen A. Smith of ESPN with Floyd Mayweather Jr. He doesn't actually call it a sit-down interview but kind of an all-access type. He didn't ask, but Floyd just began telling what he thinks about himself compared
I Forgot I Have To Get Up Earlier Tomorrow...
I have to watch two of the munchkins earlier than usual tomorrow, but only about a half-hour earlier. It kind of sucks but oh well, if I go to bed right after WWE Raw goes off, or almost immediately, it should be okay. My Mom and older sister have to run s
Tracing My Footsteps
Born and raised in Miami, Florida. What was the most memorable thing about this city? The weather! Very seldom – exclude the hurricanes – was there ever really bad weather. As a little child, actually thought that Sunday was called Sunday becau
Raindrops on Roses
It began to rain last night in the early morning. I heard it during a bladder call. It was still raining when I got up hours later. It was a gentle rain, and the sky was still gray for awhile after I got up. Now it is early afternoon and the sun is out. Th
Happy April Fools Day!

Heavy Rainfall Took Me Completely by Surprise
It happens more and more frequently : although I live in an area where the climate is supposed to be temperate and extreme weather phenomena shouldn’t be frequent, the reality of the last few years proves the opposite: even in such areas nature can g
Sorry I Haven’t Been Around!
I know, I know, I have been MIA for days. It looks like my last post was on Thursday night.So Friday was a bit hectic. Let's see here. My one year old nephew was laying on the couch and rolled the wrong way, so he fell off and busted his lip. He was okay,

Pacquiao-Dela Hoya Fight - A TBT Post
With all that coverage about the May 2nd fight between Floyd 'Money' Mayweather and Manny 'The Pacman' Pacquiao, I figured I'll put up a throwback post when Manny Pacquiao defeated 'The Golden Boy' Oscar Dela Hoya. Dela Hoya closed as a 2-1 favorite for t
It's Wayyy Too Late...
...Well, it's 1:30am, and it could be later. But I didn't want to be up at this time of night. I finished my assignments earlier, but I couldn't submit the last one or work on my blogging because my browsers went haywire. :-| I was finally able to clear ev
We Love Mommy D!!!
Perhaps, at this point in time, we can consider Dionisia Pacquiao a celebrity on her own. She is recently in the news when an article came out about Manny Pacquiao making a bid to purchase a property previously owned by Jennifer Lopez. Now talk about celeb

Let Me Blog About My Day...
....Because why not lol?Okay, so I didn't stay in bed past my alarm this morning. I was still a bit tired, but I needed to get up. Once I eventually woke up, I just ate and helped with my bit of babysitting. I don't think I started on my work until earlier
My Head Was in the Clouds, but I Got It All Done
It was a crazy day. I started for the other house after taking this photo of the sky to compare to the night sky later, since rain is predicted. The clouds have been amazing all day. I parked on the way to the other house to try to capture the green hills
Picky! Picky! Picky!
I have my own method for removing snow from the driveway and sidewalks. We do have snow blower, but I do not have enough upper-arm strength to pull that darn cord! I can handle a snow shovel pretty well, but that takes too long. I u
How to Gear Up in the Chicago Area

Another peek at my home town
The picture at the head of this article is the view of Clee Hill in snow - actually Titterstone Clee. It is the main hill overlooking Ludlow and we often have to use the road that drives through the area when going shopping (if we are going out
At last a little more snow!
I realize that compared to those living in parts of Canada and the Northeast of the U.S. my complaints of a lack of enough snow may seem absurd. But for me, having lived in Minnesota for the past 8 years, lots of snow in the winter is one of the perks as f
Cailleach: The Hag of Winter
In an earlier post I wrote about the Pagan roots of Groundhog Day, which is celebrated in North America on February 2nd each year. It's a minor secular holiday for most people, a curiosity at best. But if you happen to follow a Pagan path, the festival of

To Send or Not to Send?

Sorry Was Not Able To Log in No Power for 10 hours

Soooo, the rains came tumbling down yesterday. Okay, I'll tell the truth -- I might have exaggerated slightly, since the rains didn't really come tumbling. They mostly sprinkled for a bit and then quit. Sprinkled for another few minutes and then qui
