Simple Beginnings: Potato Onion Soup

Potato and Onion Soup

Everything in this picture came from my garden. I love simplicity. It’s apparent in many aspects of my life. I love preparing meals and do it almost every single day for me it’s a chance to be creative. A few moments ago I added potatoes and onions to a large pot as an afterthought I added lentils.

I’m making some type of potato & onion soup. The soup is low in calorie, simple, delicious, and nutritious. It will be interesting to see whether anything else makes its way into my soup pot. I have a good idea something will be added.

Cold weather and soup seem to go together then again I’m always in the mood for a fabulous soup!

Why Did I Open That Door?

Wake Up!


Have you ever said that? Recently, I found myself saying that about someone I knew from my past. They got in touch with me thanks to me being a part of Facebook. That’s a service I rarely use although I’ trying to get better at it.

Anyway it’s funny how at times you can forget the things you cannot stand about a person. I’m the type that can get along with almost anybody, but there are certain things that really annoy me. Alright you see where this one is going right? I start chatting with this individual. I thought about the great times we had together. I haven’t seen them in at least five years.

After a few emails it became apparent why I stopped talking to them in the first place. They never liked to take responsibilities for their actions. That has always annoyed me. Also, they had another lovely habit. The lied a lot. Interesting how I forgot those things. The door is barred. Access denied.

Question? Ever wished you had left well enough alone with someone in your past? What happened?

Medela Symphony: Capturing a Memory

Aiyana and Medela Symphony

Aiyana with the Medela Symphony Hospital Grade Breastpump

In Selling Memories To The Highest Bidder I wrote about letting go of material things. This past Friday as I was getting ready to ship off the Medela Symphony Hospital Grade Breastpump I decided to take a picture of Aiyana with the Medela Symphony this past Friday. It was getting ready to be shipped to its new home.

I’m actually happy with the new home it’s going to although I guess I should not care since I was getting paid for it, but I was. I have 42 people watching this pump on Ebay. The last final moments the bidding got pretty fierce, but the woman who is getting the pump seems nice so I’m very happy. I’ve communicated with her a few times via email.

At $1600 this wasn’t a cheap breast pump but it was definitely cheaper than purchasing formula which doesn’t even come close nutritionally to breastmilk and in the end I received $899 back thanks to Ebay.

It’s a fabulous experience removing items that I no longer have use for and sending them off to people who could benefit from them, and it’s another way to cut down on the waste by passing something on to another. I take good care of my products, and they always look like or new or in near mint condition.
