Defeated

By
I didn't even know how to spell that word. Ugh - these screen shots speak for themselves. Basically we signed up to receive the car monitors for our Progressive insurance. They swore it couldn't hurt us, only help get us a discount later on, so why not? I KNOW WHY - because then your husband has proof that you're a bad driver.

Now, before you get to thinking too much, I have a job I have to be at before 9am. Mr Smith does not. I have to fight morning and evening DC traffic which is higher risk. That's about all I got for excuses. I also have been told by Mr Smith that I have the tendency to tailgate. This girl has somewhere to be! So apparently the "hard brake" points come if you brake 7mph in a second. Bah - for once in your life you don't want points!! Mr Smith did kindly point out that it looks like I'm improving . . .

I didn't get approved. We have a week-ish to find out if Eric was approved for a discount. Happy New Year! I'll be all freakin paranoid now. I'm still safer than 99% of these DC drives. Defensive driver right here!!! Maybe I won't change. When I want to break, I break to save my life, sorry if my passengers all receive whiplash! I think the more serious concern is the number of miles per driving time. 


at least there is improvement . . .



in the beginning . . .




I drive the Nissan Sentra, if you couldn't tell


New Year's resolution: to get a '0' on the board.

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
