Because I can see this coming: Brain explosion!! The Hayley Daily will be taking a much-needed summer sabbatical through August 18th. Don’t miss me too much while I’m gone…and don’t forget to come back for a visit upon my return!

Two Things
1. It’s August 1st. How did we get halfway through the year already? 2. It’s 104F in North Texas today, with equally horrible temperatures in the future for the week to come. That’s hardly something to look forward to. A double ugh to both.
Can You Hear It?
KTQTV8XUBEMJ It’s been a long week, and it’s not even over yet. As The Boy would say, “Ah, shoot.” Shoot, indeed. Things don’t look to lighten up and slow down until I’m sitting in a plane, heading to Russia. Until then, a gal’s just got to soldier on. In the meantime, I’m hearing a very […]
What Do You Think of the New Me?
Yesterday, when I opened my blog I discovered a floating “photo removed” window. Very irritating. After a bit of digging I finally realized what had been removed – my blog background! Well, fine. I’d been intending to update my blog anyway. Now was as good a time as any! One thing led to another…tweak a […]
An Observation
We were listening to a podcast while driving home the other evening. Midway through the show, the host mentioned that the problem with owning rental properties is that one of your renters might change their Harley in your living room. I thought about that for a moment and mentioned, I think he meant to say […]
End of an Era
On my way from Point A to Point B, I needed to pick up a few things at the grocery store. It turns out that the closest store on my route was the Hayley’s first grocery store – talk about being in my (very) old stomping grounds. I hadn’t shopped at that store in nearly […]
There is Too Much. Let Me Sum Up
This year’s vacation got off to an inconspicuous start. We were totally unprepared, with no time to plot or plan. Life circumstances led us to cancel vacation, then reschedule it five days later. Talk about hectic. So hectic, in fact, that I didn’t even take a journal to capture the stories of our trip while […]
So I {Still} Can’t Keep a Secret
Ok, ok…I won’t make you wait several weeks to find out what The Boy has gotten me for my birthday. He called the other day and asked if I could get time off of work to hop on a plane: He will be traveling for work, but my present is to travel purely for fun […]
A New Process
There’s just too much to do, and too little time to do it all, that I’ve decided to adopt a new “Go-No Go” process to help me prioritize: Thanks, Flip, for the chart!
Welcome, Real World
We’ve been on vacation for the past week and a half. As usual, despite checking emails and dealing with issues as they arose, returning to home and work has been a challenge. Even stranger, we returned to a Niece-less House. Summer school is over and she’s off to spend some time with her family. Make […]
