Back in October, I had this brilliant idea to get ahead of the holiday chaos and ordered custom Christmas cards early. I was feeling pretty proud of myself—like, Look at me being all organized and prepared! My plan was foolproof:...

Raine38 I am happy to report that I was able to send out my Christmas cards yesterday! Way later than what I wanted, but at least I am confident that the recipients will get these before Christmas.

This late morning I got rid of the trash but before that I caught another rat. It seems that recent drainage pipeline renovation shooed a lot of rats that some of them went to our home. In fact, after my post my dog caught another...

Raine38 Wait, what? You ate a snake? Why? Looks like the pipeline work is in poor timing. Shouldn't they do it during the summer? If I remember correctly, it's still rainy there these pas few months.

A few months ago, I decided to get some additional earlobe piercings, because why not. I have always wanted some when I was younger, but my mom would kill me if I did. I figure now that I am an adult who has her own money and...

One of the perks of living in the rockies is the abundance of nature trails. Before moving here in the United States, I would climb mountains with friends and co-workers. The last mountain that we climbed was Mount Pico de Loro in...

Raine38 @Iam_jauntyjen And that's a blessing in itself. I do believe that sometimes, we meet people so we learn a lesson or two and be able to fully appreciate the ones who will be our true friends. Getting hurt by these kinds of people also help us become stronger. I...

Raine38 Nice, at least that's one thing checked off your list of things to do. When you said you were home interviewed, does that mean that they actually send someone in your home to interview the household members?

Raine38 Yeah, this did cross my mind, that this could be another one of his marketing tactics. And by me "introducing" him to other ladies is essentially me spreading the word about his shop.
