If you were following The Keswick Blog on WordPress, you may have noticed it’s been dark here for a while. I feel like a right idiot for not posting this update a LONG time ago, but better late than never! All the old and current posts are over at the NEW place – thekeswickblog.com – come on over 🙂
See you on the flip side!
At this moment I am
Posted: November 23, 2012 Filed under: At This Moment | Tags: black friday, pick yourself up and solider on, random shit that nobody cares about Leave a comment… tired. It’s a P.A. Day and because of this stupid cold and congestion, I am up before 6:30 a.m. again 😦
… grateful for all of the ways that Mr. KB has made improvements to our house that help things (and me) work and organize better.
… sad. This has been a difficult week and things just have not been going the way I want or need them to.
… determined to fix the things in my life that are not working and make them better.
… smiling at the sight of my youngest two offspring sitting at the island and having their morning bananas.
… pleased with the outcome of Parent-Teacher night for my older two smalls. There are some things to work on, but nothing insurmountable.
… nervous for Pax and Deacon who are each testing for a new Tae Kwon Do belt tonight.
… happy that since we installed our new pellet stove that we’ve been able to keep the house warm without using propane.
… looking forward to having today with the smalls and trying to come up with a game plan so everyone has a good day.
… grateful to have another day to fix my mistakes, change my ways and make headway in my dreams of personal transformation (not physical – that’s too lofty a goal for me today).
… digging deep to find some inner-calm to help carry me through the hard moments and help me not take my frustrations, anger and disappointments out on others (honestly stated, I suppose this would mean my kids, since we do not have a family dog).
… hopeful that I will be able to transfer my iPod music to this laptop and get iTunes syncing, up and running without losing all of my music.
… excited to play and help our kids learn how to play our new (to us) piano that we adopted earlier this week.
… sore from this random hip/thigh joint pain (that is NOT connected to getting old, thankyouverymuch!) and thinking that maybe it is time to consider losing some weight to see if that helps. Only just thinking of considering at this point, people.
… almost in tears and cannot for love or money figure out what my damage is. So stupid.
So, that’s how I am at this exact moment in time. How are you?

Manners, people. It is all about manners. And smiling. Manners and smiling. Together, they make a lot of the wrongs in our world, right.
Math class made relevant
Posted: November 6, 2012 Filed under: At This Moment, Home and Food, Random Shit | Tags: baking bread, don't be a loser who can't do math, hugs not drugs, mis-sized bread, stay in school 2 CommentsFirst, let me say that drugs are stupid. Second, let me advocate for Hugs Not Drugs. and, let me date myself by spewing forth the 80’s battle cry (no, no, not ‘Cowabunga!’) “Just Say NO!” and finally, fourth, let me attempt to defend myself and my obvious flaws (mental and physical) by saying that I have never actually been a recreational drug user, despite so, so, so much evidence to the contrary. Case in point:

I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. I’m just a mis-shapen-and-mis-sized-bread making goddess. Your move, Juney C.
Yup, just another day in the ‘wick. Keswick Blogger-style (similar to Gangnam style but with a bit less imaginary-horse ass smacking).
Fight the power!
My surprising contribution to the blog-a-sphere
Posted: October 26, 2012 Filed under: Blog Business, Random Shit | Tags: unusual search terms Leave a commentPeople, I am making an impact. Don’t believe me?
Well, WordPress stats lets you see what search terms people use to find your blog. It is probably meant to help you target your audience, but I use it solely for my own edification, amusement and sometimes genuine delight.
Since it’s been almost a year since I started really making the effort to post regularly, some people have found The Keswick Blog using the following search terms:
“how to fuck a person up”
“show me yours blog pictures xxx”
“pickupfuckers”
“granny asshole”
Now, I could be mortified. I could be ashamed. But I’m just going to be furiously happy, shameless proud, and that sum up my elation in as few (relevant) words as possible:
Listen here pickupfuckers, you all really know how to fuck a person up. Show me your xxx blog pictures and stop being such a granny asshole.
I can’t wait to see the next years’ worth of search terms and which ones will bring a tear to this proud blogger’s eye. Bring it!
