Happy Birthday Rand
Today Rand would have been 43. We would have gotten together and probably gone out to eat. Gotten him a Wii game or a PC game or something – two of his preferred gifts for holidays – and probably watched a movie or something. Gotten a cake and forced him to listen to us sing…
White Bored
We have a white board in the isle between cubes here at work that's for our team. We get silly and put doodles on it sometimes. Well, it started with a castle, then got a princess, then it caught on fire, then a fire truck, a prince riding to the rescue, a dragon, CNN news…
Remembrance Tree
Of course you all know by now how many Tree of Life pendants I make. But this one’s personal and different and I wanted to share because of it’s meaning to me. To recap, in February, our best friend, Rand, suddenly, out of nowhere had to call 911. Turns out he had a complete tear…

Feels Like 110F
So when you guys up North are all like, “OMG it’s hot!” remember you could live in here in Florida where you’d be dealing with this kind of heat every single day for months at a time. Take for example today’s current temps: And yes, it DOES say 110F (43C). I can haz November now?
Honda A/C Hell – Update
Wednesday I took it to a Honda dealership to get a Honda tech to inspect it. Turns out it was completely obvious that none of the work done by the a/c place was anywhere near correct. The compressor is on the verge of complete seizure. It's leaking at both ends. It's also basically exploded, putting…
Latest on the Honda
So this morning Love got a ride into work from a friend. I got up early, got ready and called AAA. They came out, picked up the Element and dropped it back off at the repair shop. I got to work about 45 minutes late due to waiting for AAA to arrive. They had the…
Here we go again

Car Hell
Seriously, this is so unbelievable it sounds made up. Here’s what we’ve been dealing with. Honda Element making horrible squeal noise. Saturday, June 19th – take in to car repair place. Look it over, not sure what it is. Do power steering flush and replace pulley assembly. Car sounds worse. By process of elimination, they…

Agate Slice Tree of Life Pendant
Of course you guys all know me and my crazy obsession love of making Tree of Life pendants. I just enjoy making them so much and I keep looking for new ideas and new ways of making them. Well, I was at the Flea Market last weekend and I found some awesome flat slices of…
Storm rolling in
Thunder is rumbling. Half the sky is blue and the other dark. Big bursts of thunder announce the approaching storm.Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Overwhelmed
I’m going to bed. My eyes are killing me from crying most of the day. I’ve got a headache and I haven’t slept more then about 4 hrs a night for the past three nights. Today wound up being ANOTHER $415. And they couldn’t get the part today in time so I had to leave…
I Know “When it Rains, It Pours” But…
…I wasn’t prepared for a torrential downpour. To Recap: June saw over $600 to repair my car. Then $300 for Love’s (which didn’t fix the problem) and another $920 (which we thought did.) Put us severely behind and in debt, struggling to just keep afloat until we can get caught up. (Which will probably take…
