Anchors & Oars

By · Leave a Comment

Where would you go on a shopping spree?

My husband, Brian and I, went to a boating meet and greet in Lancaster today. We are meeting people that sail on the Chesapeake Bay, with goals of making new boating friends.

At one point, everyone was talking about a store, called Anchors and Oars, basically an organized junkyard of sailboat parts and supplies.

Brian and I have been working hard on our sailboat. We have a YouTube channel now that I would love for people to check out. We only have about seven videos posted and none of them are terribly long, but we’re just starting the channel. You can find that on YouTube under @Hotspur39.

So, with all the renovations, we’re doing to our boat, I would love to have a shopping spree at this sailboat yard, because no one’s manufacturing the parts for our boat anymore!

Spring cannot arrive soon enough!

What snack would you eat right now?

I’m just finishing up my snack, watching Rain Man with the hubby.

Great movie.

Had a busy day at home. Productive.

Balloons were popped. 😂🎈

It’s been cold and uninviting outside.

I’ll stick to inside.

WTF just happened in the USA

By · 3 Comments

This week has been unlike any other in my life.

It went from having huge expectations of good things to come in the future, to a crashing reality of who is going to be the leader of our country.

I’m afraid for my democracy. I’m afraid for my rights as a woman.

I’m afraid for the rights of all people that are not exactly the “person” Trump expects them to be in our society.

I’m afraid.

The FOOT Doctor

By · Leave a Comment

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

I googled podiatrist in my area. After suffering for over a year, I’ve determined the pain in my heel is not from the Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery.

I need my feet to not hurt! 😢 🦶

But, I also need to exercise. So frustrating.

Walking in the Hood

By · 2 Comments

It’s just after 8 PM. My neighborhood is still busy with people mowing, rearranging the garage with the door open, and one’s even loading a U-Haul.

Gonna be down a neighbor soon. 👋

I’m just out trying to get my steps in because I’ve gotten chubby wubby and I’m letting it all hang free as I walked the hood.

Bras are over-rated.

I feel bugs biting me. 🦟 I hate them. Will never understand why they are needed. I’m constantly putting anti-itch cream on, and taking Benadryl.

Oh, my 🍏 apple tree looks nice this year!

I’m feeling good about my walk and actually would like to do a second loop but I can’t with the bugs.

I never started my workout tracker. 😭

Well, my body knows I walked…and was nibbled on by bugs I never see.

Ya know?

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Maybe it’s because my husband says it to me so often. It seems like every other sentence he saying something to me. He ends up with, “you know what I mean?”

I just respond, “I do know what you mean” and let it at that. It’s not like he’s really looking for me to respond.

You know what I mean?

That stuff that keeps you awake

By · Leave a Comment

Don’t you hate not being able to sleep? When you lay there convincing your brain to just let things simmer down. I try to corral the random, unproductive, tangled, and sometimes obtrusive thoughts, and drift into dreamless sleep adding years to my life.

On occasion, I have weird dreams, most likely from the prescription meds I take TO fall asleep. It comes with a warning it can cause vivid dreams. I’m perfectly ok with that because sometimes I have orgasms. Whatever I’m dreaming is never sexual, but the result is a range of O’s from a blimp to one where my stomach cramps up trying to grasp wtf is going on.

And, if I fall asleep, thinking of something that might get me going, it never leads to any O fairy visits. So pure thoughts only to fall asleep by. 😂

Winning with the O’s,

~P.

Favorite Candy

By · 1 Comment

What’s your favorite candy?

I’m going to put some real thought into this candy reflection. I have a lot of candy I really like but my favorite? That’s tough.

To nail it down on one candy, I would have to go with Dove’s dark chocolate. They are so smooth and delicious, melting in your mouth, and even come with a little inspirational message on the inside of the foil wrapper. How wonderful!? 🤤

Other candies, I enjoy would be snickers, Mary Jane’s, cowtails, Toblerone, scor bars, whatchamacallit, M&Ms, Reeses, and you know, I could just keep going on.

Might be easier to name the ones I don’t like. There’s one. Candy Corn 🤮

It’s just not candy. If you like it, you’re probably a serial killer.

Skydiving in the rain

By · Leave a Comment

I’m on my way to a karaoke bar. As I stopped at the end of my road, I noticed there was a person skydiving in the field across from me. There was no one behind me so I sat and watched them float to the ground. Maybe the rainy weather up a notch in challenge. It’s not particularly windy so it doesn’t seem unsafe. Just wet. Where did he come from. What plane did he jump out of just random in a field. I wonder if it was planned.

Like a Tumbleweed

By · Leave a Comment

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

The extra time I would have weekly would be something I’d want to enjoy, if I didn’t require sleep.

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do whether it’s by camper or on sailboat. I love spending time with my husband on adventures. He and I probably weren’t meant to have couches in our home. They suck you in.

I would want to be like a tumbleweed. Quietly rolling through towns, exploring places, and even visiting family and friends. Nothing brings me joy like visiting friends or family.

Just tumbling through…
