To San Diego!

So Incredibly Sick
It was this day last year where I got ridiculously sick. After avoiding morning sickness throughout the entire pregnancy, I got hit with a flu bug that everybody was sick with. I hoped to avoid it, and I did my … Continue reading

On Top of a Mountain, a Fisherman’s Market
Following our trip to Salvation Mountain and the Salton Sea that I blogged about yesterday, my dates are hazy for a few days. To be honest, I’m not 100% sure what we did on Feb 26th of last year. What … Continue reading

A Crazy Old Man in the Desert
Today marks the one year anniversary of the day that Dave and I went on an adventure to two different places. We woke up early and I’m pretty sure we took the rental car. It was a really nice day. … Continue reading

We Went to the Zoo
It was our second day in Indio and we planned to take a day trip out to San Diego to see the zoo. I hadn’t been to a zoo since I was a little girl, so seeing one of the … Continue reading
Bathroom Adventures
As I mentioned yesterday, I went ahead and bought the supplies to re-paint the bathroom. Whoever lived here before did not use kitchen and bathroom paint in the kitchen and bathroom. I’m on a quest to repaint both but decided … Continue reading
American Fast Food
A year ago today, Dave and I woke up together in Indio for the first time. Our previous day had been so hectic and tiring that we decided not to really do much travelling, and to stay close to home. … Continue reading
Melon Popsicle
No, this post will not be about a cold and delicious treat. Melon Popsicle is the name of the colour of paint I bought today, which is now slowly but surely being applied to the bathroom walls. It’s taking longer … Continue reading

On a Plane to California With My Love
When Dave and I went to California last year, I didn’t have the blog yet. So, I’m using the one year anniversary of our trip as an opportunity to write about all my memories of that trip. It will definitely … Continue reading
Good Company
Today I had my Mom and youngest sister, Katie, over for supper. It was sort of a belated family day celebration and it went wonderfully. We spent the afternoon walking around the neighborhood and went to a few stores, including … Continue reading
Happy Family Day (I Love My Son)
Today is Family Day, and the first year to experience it since having a family of my own. Sure, our little family is lopsided without Dave here anymore, but it’s the most beautifully crooked kinship that I have ever been … Continue reading
Sh*t People Say to Artists
As most of you are probably already aware, there is a pretty popular meme going around that is “Sh*t ______ Say”. It started with Sh*t Girls Say and has evolved from there. Everybody is making these videos about various groups. … Continue reading
Dear Laundry
You sit in loose piles all over my bedroom floor. I have spent a week stepping on you on my way to bed, and when I wake in the morning. I don’t want to pick you up, but I’m quickly … Continue reading
Art Review: The NEW Derwent Artbars
Derwent is an art supply company based out of Cumbria, England. They make high quality, artist grate materials and if you have paid attention in my previous art-related posts, I absolutely love their products. Whether it’s graphite, or coloured pencils, … Continue reading
100 Days in a Row!
Well, my lovely readers, I have done it! I have conquered the impossible. I have posted for 100 days in a row without a break. Today marks the 100th day. For the last 100 days, I have posted at least … Continue reading
Preparing Early
I like to pretend that I’m the kind of person who thinks ahead and plans early for things. Yesterday marked exactly one month before leaving for California on March 14th. I’m proud of myself this year. A month before last … Continue reading
Well, it’s Valentine’s Day
I have never put a lot of importance on Valentine’s Day. I have always been of the school of thought that if you love somebody, you shouldn’t need a special day to show it. I was never the kind of … Continue reading
Welcome to the New Site
More than 24 hours after I initially set up the DNS to switch over, the site is live. It was one hell of a frustrating time of mostly waiting while they fixed the error that made the site I had … Continue reading
Things Never Go According to Plan
I had it all worked out. The new site was all set up, the blog posts were all copied over including photos and the last thing I had to do was switch the domain over. I did that at around … Continue reading
Is it Summer Yet? Plus, a Bloggilicious Update
I know that I have no right to complain about winter. We have had such mild weather this year and really, it could be much, much worse. Regardless, I find it necessary to have a bit of a February whine … Continue reading
5 Months Later
5 months ago today, I experienced the tragic loss of my first and only true love. I miss Dave every day and he is woven into every moment I spend with Darwin, every dream I remember upon waking, every piece … Continue reading
Vaccination Day
Darwin had been due for his vaccinations for a while but life got in the way and we didn’t go until today. Well… he did awesome! I wasn’t too worried, because I know my little man is a tough little … Continue reading
On Blogging
When I started A Girl Named Wendy, I was no stranger to blogging. I had run at least one very successful blog (Ganiggle Knits) and had more than my fair share of blogs I enthusiastically started only to abandon just … Continue reading
People Treat You Differently
There have been hundreds of little side effects to being “That-girl-whose-man-died”. Some were expected, some have been unexpected. It’s been a tumultuous experience filled with some seriously depressing times, some happy times, and a lot of loneliness. There’s been paperwork, … Continue reading
