Four years ago in mid-August we were right in the middle of the saga of Black Kitty, Gray, Kitty, and Striped Kitty aka Lilly’s spawn. We raised / fostered them until they were about 8 weeks ago and then they all went to their hand-selected forever homes. And I was not emotionally prepared for any of it. If you weren’t… Read more »
I’m having a blob weekend. My brain is in autopilot and my body is operating at a level I would call “just about a coma”. Hope you have a great week and I’ll be back next week with more of the random musings you’ve come to expect from me 🙂
About 6 months ago I wrote that I had found a great YouTube Channel- Yoga with Adriene. I also admitted that I have tried many times in the past to get into yoga but I got frustrated and gave up. I’m happy to report that I haven’t given up yet even though progress has been slow. I’m still terrible at… Read more »
Energy drinks aren’t anything new- they have been around for decades. And I’ve always been of the opinion that they taste like crap- at least the sugar free ones.

It could be argued that I celebrate this one every day. It’s Be a Dork Day! I was/ am a band nerd. I’ve played D&D. I collect autographs of the cast of Star Trek: Next Generation. Mythbusters is one of my favorite TV shows of all times. I can recite long sections of dialogue from both The Princess Bride and… Read more »

When I was first planning this trip I was excited- I hadn’t been to the Black Hills since I was approximately 10 years old. But as the time got closer I started… Read more »
They say if you can laugh at yourself you you will never run out of material. I am certainly proof of that. In no particular order, here are the top five times I have had no choice but to laugh at myself recently: #1 Forgetting what direction I was going. I was on my way home after a quick trip… Read more »
Fun fact- there are almost as many websites willing to provide tips and ideas for posting as there are actual blogs. Some are geared at specific audiences- i.e. fitness, travel, corporate, etc. – and some attempt to offer tips and tricks for any and all blog types. Many offer at least some information for free while some keep much… Read more »
I’ve mentioned many times how badly current US political and even some religious leaders have misrepresented Christianity. A couple examples are here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=5209 and here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=1066 . You might wonder why I still believe. And to be perfectly honest, that have been times I’ve wondered that myself, more so in the last 12 months than at any other point in my… Read more »
I’ve expressed my dislike with the whole “trad wife” social media trend before. You can read that here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4969 if you missed it. I’m bringing this up again because I have recently started digging out some spring/ summer clothing and that includes a few skirts and dresses. Last year before AND after my vacation to Miami I amassed more of these… Read more »
