As Time Goes By

April 21, 2020 by styledbykdg

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” – Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace I cannot decide if this post topic is cruel or amusing but I’m going for it. I love watches. I have about 22 watches. I’m not a devotee of one style – I find watches, like jewelry, can reflect your current mood. I love them chunky, slimline, tank, sporty, metal, leather! No one ever sees me wearing my watches these days because, much like […]

Take a Seat

April 20, 2020 by styledbykdg

I lost my ever-loving mind Friday night over, ironically, a puzzle. This sitting on the floor in an empty house, cooking with camp canteen utensils, sleeping on a mattress on the floor is testing my very ability to adapt. Friday night, I was definitely not grinning and bearing it. Then the clouds parted and the sky bloomed blue and clear. In other words, our stager came through earlier than anticipated and brought furniture this weekend. La C, my resilient little […]

It’s Friday. Friday, April 17. The year 2020. Whatever you are doing right at this moment, is what you should be doing. Just keep that in mind. There is an incessant tug of war in the media and social media that you should be doing all the things during this downtime or no, take a breath as it is okay to not do anything. Listen people, this is not a vacation, it’s not a “gift” of time. It’s survival. And […]

If I Were…

April 16, 2020 by styledbykdg

Meeting my sister for dinner tonight. My sister and I try to have fairly regular “sister bonding nights”. We hunker down in a delightful restaurant and talk for hours. And hours. It’s something I look forward to the most in my daily life. As you can imagine, while we live 15 minutes apart, we cannot see each other right now.. The hardest thing I did was look at my calendar at the beginning of March and saw our scheduled sister […]

An Ode to Will Shortz

April 15, 2020 by styledbykdg

A little known fact about me is my fondness for NPR’s Sunday Puzzle. I get so excited when I know (er, think I know) the answers, that I shout them out, startling my daughter and the dog, and miss hearing the actual answer, then I frantically ask my husband “what did they say? what did they say??”. You can guess how much fun it is for the whole family. 🙂 While we are currently living in the most puzzling of […]

Creature Comforts

April 14, 2020 by styledbykdg

Without going in to great detail, because hey, we’ve all got our thing right now, creature comforts are in short supply around my house right now. We were in the middle of a cross-country move entailing a major home over haul when COVID-19 shut the world down. Currently, we are blessed with a card table, four folding chairs, three deck chairs and two mattresses in our 3,000 square foot home. The entirety of our familial belongings are in storage in […]

Magic Words

May 15, 2019 by styledbykdg

I find I do far more online shopping than actually going to a store. Not great I know. I should be trying harder to patronize brick and mortar stores and I am working on that. But when those two magic words pop up, well, I do get a flutter. Free shipping. And today only TJ Maxx has free shipping. TJ Maxx is one of my guilty pleasures. I can go to a store and just wander for an hour or […]

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

May 13, 2019 by styledbykdg

It happened one day. I saw a picture posted on Facebook that someone had taken of me at a party. I was clearly happy – laughing, relaxed, carefree. It was a great picture. I looked….my age. It was the first time that I noticed how old I looked. It is not a bad thing because I’ve lived a pretty awesome life so far and I look pretty darn good for my age if I do say so myself. However, it […]
