Back in 2016 my Wife and I did the Ancestry DNA test. She did it more to see what her background was. I did it for that but more importantly to try and find family I never knew about (I never knew anything about my Biological Fathers family. If your a new reader you may
One Week
It’s been one week since my last post, and yes here we are again on hump day. Maybe I should turn this into Wednesdays with Locstar lol. So as you see yes I am still here, I’ve just been busy taking care of the dogs, things around the house or just haven’t been inspired.
Wednesday Hump Day
Well It’s Wednesday aka Hump Day, even though I don’t work I still get excited about the days of the week. Because that means more time spent with the wife. Yes she currently works from home and I visit with her a few times a day to say hi. But I love the weekends, I
Five Love Languages
Hard to believe that up till a few years ago that I, the self proclaimed “Queen of the Foo” never heard of “The 5 Love Languages.” My wife mentioned it one day and it totally makes since to me on how it would work and help. What is it? The Five Love Languages: How to
My Morning Routine
Every morning I get up about 7 a.m. to let our dogs out, it used to be at about 6:15. I clean up dog poop, get them fresh water, and feed them. Then I get my coffee and sit out on our patio table with my laptop even though I have our beautiful sexy beast
iRobot Roomba
When you have two big Labradors that love to roll around and dig in the dirt. As well as a cat, and on top of that it’s summer time which means more shedding then usual from all three. You find yourself sweeping your flooring a few times a day. We have a large area to
A Visit with Mom
I woke up this morning with Mom on my mind. She paid a visit to me last night, in my dreams that is. But the thing that was a little different about this visit is that I was seeing her spirit in my dream. Before she was always alive in my dreams. I wonder if
Friend Searching on Dating Apps?
A Facebook friend of mine writes a post last night, looking for ideas to get over a broken heart. I left a comment, asking what happened. Shortly after I received a message, saying that they (my friend) downloaded a “location-based social networking and online dating application.” The reason for the download? They were looking for
Love is a Drug
I have a friend of mine going through some things right now with her S.O.(significant other). I have been trying to help her, trying to talk them through possible solutions. But it seems that maybe their “grass” died prematurely, as they have only been together for 18 months. That it may be time for her
Water Your Own Grass!
People are never satisfied with their own situation; they always think others have it better. I can say that I have been found guilty of this in past relationships. However I have discovered if you water your own grass, it can help it to stay green. Stop being worried about what others have, and worry
Making Remotes Smart
With smart devices everywhere in our lives, making us lazy but also helping us save money. I wanted a way to make our pre-existing ceiling fans “smart” fans without replacing all the remotes/receivers. A few of our fans are too high for me personally to replace the receiver on them. I knew that in this
A Surprise Gift
This was shared on my Facebook last night, but felt it was too good, to not share here on my blog. So for those who don’t know already. Pier 1 Imports is going out of business. I love the store but thankfully not as much as I love it’s competitor Cost Plus World Market. However
