Here’s another one I celebrate regularly. It’s National Junk Food Day! Today’s the day to grab some Oreos, Cheetos, McDonald’s fries, or whatever your personal favorite guilty pleasure is. Everything is OK in moderation after all!
It’s been three years since we brought Oreo into our home. And nothing has been the same since. I used to refer to Lilly as our mayhem causing cat. And she was. But Oreo has now taken the crown. He has become a bit of a neighborhood star. He loves to lounge in our front window and the sheer number… Read more »
This is a tricky one for my people. It’s National Give Something Away Day. Why is this hard for my family? Because I come from a long line of pack rats. They save everything. And I’m not entirely immune. Until recently I still had a box of college textbooks in my basement. No, I don’t know why. I recently took… Read more »
Over Memorial weekend I took a quick trip to my favorite place to visit- Duluth Minnesota. I have waxed poetic about this place many, many times. Like here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=2497 and here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=3674 . You get the picture. I’ve written about this place a lot and I’ve gone there even more. But this last trip was a little different. First of all,… Read more »
So, how are you doing? There is a so much crap going on in the world and in the US that it’s hard to stay positive. Hell, it’s hard to be anything other than completely hopeless. But there are good things in the world. We just have to look for them and appreciate them. Oreo does that. He is happiest… Read more »
I’ve been recovering from a very nasty stomach bug. In between the vomiting, the hallucinations (I ran a high fever for a while), and the wishing for the sweet release of death I had a lot of time to stare at bad TV. For whatever reason, one of the services I was watching was advertising When Harry Met Sally a… Read more »
Yes I have mentioned this day before: https://beckypalmer.me/?p=2241 But that was 4 years ago. And, well, my cats have different questions now! So here we go again 🙂 Boots: Q: Why is Oreo such a pain in the ass? A: Because he’s young and full of energy. You were just like that once, you just don’t remember it. Lilly: Q: Why… Read more »
Tis the season for all kinds of treats, so it makes all the sense in the world that this holiday comes now. It’s Chocolate Covered Anything Day! Certainly there are all kinds of cookies and candies that fall into this category, but maybe you want to think outside the box? Maybe chocolate covered bacon or crickets sound good to you? … Read more »
In case you hadn’t heard- book clubs – along with good old-fashioned books- are back! I made the decision to get more books and less screens in my life a while back and I’m so glad I did. If you missed that you can read about that here https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4856 And yes I have joined the book club at my library!… Read more »
Especially in the world we live in right now it’s so important that we take a moment to sit back and reflect on all the blessings we have in our lives. There is so much good right in front of us that we take for granted. To that end, a very popular trend on social media is to post something… Read more »
