And so it goes. Saturday, February 12, 2011. A Valentine's Day Special. Okay, so this isn't a typical post for a "family" blog, but.I'm not sharing anything too personal. We are also Glee fans. Say what you will about the show. I like it! So, today I'm going to share the song that Richard sang to me in the shower. It was fun. It was spontaneous. It was us. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and many, many happy days after that! And you get to hear the song being performed by the Glee kids! I'm always tryin...

And so it goes. Sunday, January 2, 2011. When All Is Right With The World. Or should I say- when all is right in my world? The last four years have been an extremely difficult time for me with regards to my employment. Our office saw the rise (and ultimate fall) of an incredibly corrupt elected official that did nothing but help herself to tax payers funds and make a complete mockery of a system that is supposed to be here as an example to the citizens of Salt Lake County. She fired a former prosecutor w...

And so it goes. Sunday, February 24, 2013. They let Copper rest his head on my lap as he passed. It was so fast. and painless. In fact, when it was over his eyes seemed a little brighter and the coloring in his hair had a glorious shine. He was beautiful. And he was at peace. probably already running in the green fields with his beautiful sister, Macy. Our home is noticeably quieter at treat time. Copper with his sister Macy. Copper at the Vet. Copper sleeping with his baby sister Dora. I heard this song...

And so it goes. Monday, January 7, 2013. I Didn't Get the Memo. I've been having some medical problems the last couple weeks and after multiple tests and hundreds of dollars in medical costs I chose to skip the final procedure they were requesting and decided to let my Lupus specialist handle the issue since I had my regular Lupus appointment scheduled for today, anyway. Seemed simple at the time. *rolls eyes*. It Was. Awful. But it was back in the day when companies actually had compassion on the menu f...

Different chameleon species are able to change different colours which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow, turquoise and purple. Some varieties of chameleon - such as the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their colour-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.]. Things I l...

And so it goes...: I Will Wait

http://sogden.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-will-wait.html

And so it goes. Friday, February 1, 2013. I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons. I heard this song on the radio the other day and I fell in love with it. Honestly, I'm not sure how this group has managed to stay off my radar for so long. They're pretty amazing and they happened to come along at just the right time for me. Funny how music can take on a different meaning to you depending on where you are at or what you are doing in your life. Regardless, give it a listen. And I came home. These days of darkness.

And so it goes. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Our highlights included Bob going hiking in the mountains with his former family. Bob getting 9 teeth pulled due to severe periodontal disease. Poor little guy only wanted to sit on the cool green grass when he got home. Bob figuring out how to open the pantry door. Notice only the lid to the food bucket is left? Sadly, we were forced to put a lock on it . Something I promised I'd never do to my kids. So now we have this. Take naps wrapped in her blanket. Aweso...

And so it goes. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Four Score and Seven Years Ago…. I was shaving my legs and repeating the words to The Gettysburg Address when I was reminded of the Halloween costume I hated wearing when I was a little girl. I’d been bugging my stepmother, Freda, for weeks about “my” Cinderella costume. I was a week away from my first trick-or-treating of the season and being Cinderella was all I could think about. A full day had passed, and then two… still, no costume. Lunch came and went&#8230...
