OT - Women Wednesday
Happy Hump Day, STalkers! Yes, the title says 'women', but this pertains to men, too!
While plenty consider this time to be a season of joy, that's not always true for everyone. Joy can be hard to find due to:
- Loss of loved ones
- Health issues
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
- Job problems (my best friend lost her job last week)
- Family problems
- Simply overwhelmed by the hustle and hustle
It's important to remember that THE most important thing to take care of is YOU. We've heard the saying...

OT - looking for recipes
STalkers, I'm looking for some tried and true recipes of homemade spreadables to put on warm, homemade rolls and freshly sliced french bread.
DH and I are going to a dinner and I got the bread. Unfortunately, I cannot take rieska (Finnish flatbread).
Please help!

OT - Eff Off Friday/Forn Friday
Happy Friday, STalkers! It's a breezy 53° here and I have the windows open to enjoy the fresh air. Aaaahhh... Short work day for me since I had to work late last night (oh happy joy...). Who is ready to start the weekend? *yahoo*

OT - Claustrophobia
I have severe claustrophobia - so bad that I cannot tolerate being in a crowded venue, unable to move around without touching people (nightmare for a Finn!). It's due to something my oldest brother did to me when I was 5yo. My entire family knows, but most are now of the opinion that I need to "just get over it".

OT - Thankful Thursday
I am extremely thankful that my Dad is okay post-hurricane. His area was hit hard. But the house is livable with only minor damage. No power, but he has food to eat. This Daddy's Girl is so relieved! Feel like a boneless pile of goo now that the tension is gone from my muscles.
To everyone who sent prayers and good vibes, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Friday at last. It's been a chaotic couple of weeks. I'd like to sleep in one day this weekend, but too much to do.

OT - the Anikis have a grandson!
We just zoomed with SS25, Mrs SS, and baby. 7 lbs 11 oz, 23 inches long, an adorable little mouth, and a full head of dark curls.
SS: Look, son! There's grandma and grandpa!
Mrs SS: They love you sooo much!
It's true... DH is over the moon and I am in love and cannot wait to kiss his precious little head! *air_kiss*

OT - Thankful Thursday
It's been a hot minute since I did one of these. I hope PB will take time to consider all of the things for which she can be thankful.
I am extremely thankful for the StepTalk family.
Yes, I consider StepTalk to be a family. We laugh, support each other, tell hard truths with caring, and reach out to those who are scared or hurting. Reading all of the comments on PB's last blog, witnessing this family reach out... I'm not crying. You're crying.

OT - Eff Off Friday
Friday at last. This is a short one.
Eff off to:
- Cancer. Four days ago, I attended the funeral of a dear friend's mother, who passed away from lung cancer. Non-smoker. This coming Monday, I will once again don funeral attire to attend the funeral of a life-long friend's mother, who passed from brain cancer. A cousin's husband passed last week from - can you believe it - cancer. They were traveling at the time so the funeral will be weeks away. CANCER SUCKS.
Wishing you a stress-free, healthy, and enjoyable weekend.
