Final performance

The other night at dinner I was reminded of a conversation that I had with my niece during our family reunion last summer. She reminded me of a comment I had made that went something like: ”Wouldn’t it be fun to onetime spend Christmas together as a family?”   Because all of my siblings, including her father are scattered far and wide [...]

Journal entry

Day Two:  Sandwiches made with leftover rolls, butter and previously carved pieces of turkey make their ways into our menu.  Apple pie has always been better on the following days, and the ice cream only gets bigger with each scoop as does our waistlines.
Day three:  Mashed potatoes, thin tasteless gravy, and stuffing are not enhanced by [...]

Kinda early

Dude! Today is November 13. Those trees will be kindling by Christmas. I’m just sayin.
Just in case you couldn’t tell, this photo was taken from a moving car, on the freeway.  You might also want to know that I was not the driver, but I was the snapper of the photo.  One more fun fact?  [...]

Party of One

 

My life lately has been consumed with work and since I generally don’t write about work, I haven’t written much.  So instead I’ll entertain you with some new choice for the blog layout and photos.  In fact if you like to participate in this blog layout, suggest a photo, or send me one.  If you [...]

The eyes have it! Part Three

To catch up, you might want to read Part One and Part Two.

Well here I am, ready to go under the knife, as it were.  Notice the obvious disregard for ‘no photos’?  We are such rebels.  When we arrived at the appointed check in time, Sweet Husband was well prepared for the duration.  We were to be at the facility for 2-3 hours, yet [...]

Collection agency, I’m not!

 
A long time ago when I thought I had a lot of space, free time and extra money, I collected copper.  Not the wire from electrical motors that my dad used to take apart, but cookware, plates, knick-knacks, you know, dust collectors.  I was introduced to this accumulation by a friend when she gave me duplicate pieces from [...]

The eyes have it! Part ONE

I like chairs.  I have this desire for an overstuffed red fabric chair to sit next to the bathtub so I have a place to sit when I talk to Sweet Husband as he bathes.  See the picture.  The changes that would have to occur in order for a red chair to fit in my bathroom would [...]

This just in…

Princess Diana, still dead.
The Pope (the one that died), still dead.
Winston Churchill, still dead.
Farrah Fawcett, overshadowed yet again, and still dead.
Michael Jackson still dead, and I still don’t care.
None of these people affect my life.  All the news coverage in the world won’t make me turn on the TV today to watch as Michael Jackson  is [...]

email post

See this? She’s worth almost $500 more than she was 3 weeks ago. That’s what happens when you have 2 emergency room visits within 3 weeks time.
If you can read this it’s because I’m posting via email from my blackberry. I love wordpress.
Amendment:  That’s more than $100 per pound.  Like caviar, that’s what she is.

Altered states

 
I will be attending and participating in a food show next week.  I know, pretty big news for me.  At this particular food show one of my coworkers got the great idea to have matching shirts.  No offense men,  but when the men pick out the shirts we generally get a bright construction-worker-orange polo shirt with the top of [...]
