Flea spray, and ‘fridges, and files, oh my! (Part II)

Last updated on: September 1, 2009 at 5:24 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Such a week, and now it’s Tuesday! Okay, I promised that I’d put in a picture of the chairs I got from the dumpster. I took the upholstery off because it smelled pretty nasty, and I didn’t want it in my house. So, it’s a naked chair. But how cool! It’s got springs, and it’s in quite good condition. So, bonus! I have two matching ones. I think there may be more stuff today, so I’ll have to look. Instead... Read more

Flea spray, and ‘fridges and files, oh my!

Last updated on: August 31, 2009 at 9:31 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Such a week, and it’s only Monday. First of all, the cats have fleas, and you can imagine what a pain that is. We don’t have a very large apartment, and if you have any idea how many books I have see my library at LibraryThing), you know that I don’t have a lot of room for much of anything except them. (I haven’t yet encroached on Sophia’s bedroom, much to her delight, but I’m considering it .) So I’ve... Read more

Melting pot, or salad bar?

Last updated on: August 30, 2009 at 9:40 am By Cynthia Schrage

I developed this concept while I was in my communications class at IPFW back in 2003. We had been talking about metaphors for America, especially the melting pot one. But I had told my group I wasn’t satisfied with that one, because it seemed to me that in a melting pot (like a fondue, for example), everything you put in was, obviously, melted together and turned into one mixture. But while that may have been the experience of many immigrants... Read more

Quinceañera today

Last updated on: August 29, 2009 at 7:16 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Here’s Osmaíra in the back of the limo. Today I played piano for the quinceañera of Osmaíra Martínez. I was afraid I’d be going solo, but one of my singers, Luz Piña, showed up unexpectedly and that was great. Osmaíra’s was very beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. Things were a little late getting started, but that’s nothing new. The weather was stellar, in my opinion. Even thought it’s late August, it was in the mid-60’s, just right for tuxedos and...

No wonder I feel so great!

Last updated on: August 27, 2009 at 5:11 pm By Cynthia Schrage

It’s my flowers! I know for some women that time of the month is not a time that they relish, but for me, when my Aunt Flo comes to visit, it’s the best time of the month! In fact, I was going to get the laundry out of the washer this morning and thinking to myself, I feel really peppy today, and feeling how nice it was to feel that way, and when I came back and sat down at...

No phone? No problem!

Last updated on: August 26, 2009 at 8:26 pm By Cynthia Schrage

We’re without phone service for a while, and I can’t say it’s a bad thing. We just get really a lot of phone calls that I don’t particularly care for. Sometimes, I wish we didn’t have a phone at all, but then of course, I can’t talk to the people I love. So, it’s a trade off. Of course, this week I’d like to be able to talk to some people more than others. Again, a trade off. Read more

Song of the Day

Last updated on: August 25, 2009 at 5:02 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Sometimes I hear a song, and it really reminds me of some event in my life, or some time period in my past, or someone I love. This is the song today, and it really reminds me of Roger. “Thinkin’ About You” by Trisha Yearwood (from the CD Greatest Hits, MCA Nashville, September 2007) I’m not quite sure what’s goin’ on, but all through and all night long, I’ve been thinkin’ about you, I’ve been thinkin’ about you. The look in your... Read more
