Hubby asked me tonight if I had thought of any New Year’s Resolutions and I realized I hadn’t even considered it yet. My usual resolution always involved weight loss or dieting in one form or another - but considering the surgery I’ve had, I should be able to be at least somewhat successful in that area [...]

Sweet Dreams
A week or so before Christmas, I bought myself a present.
This handy-dandy little machine is a “Sound-Spa” alarm clock and I am a BIG fan of it.
You see, my mother (inadvertently?) trained all of her children to sleep to the sound of a fan, in part due to the fact that we didn’t have central air conditioning [...]

Oy, my eye!!
As usual, there is no shortage of drama in my world.
I try to keep my complaining to a minimum on my blog, because really, who wants to hear about my aches and pains?! However today, I give myself an exception. Because today, my dear reader, I had a NEEDLE shoved into my EYE and well… [...]

An Open Letter to Walgreens Corp
Dear Walgreens,
A heartfelt thanks from my husband and I for saving Christmas.
As part of the few, the proud, the crazy, traveling home on Christmas day, we found ourselves with a problem. Hubby’s phone was quickly losing charge (thanks to a lightening round of text-messaging with friends) and we had no automobile phone charger. We thought [...]

Home Sweet Home
DH and I are back in town tonight, after a 22 hour drive back from Arizona (this includes a 3 1/2 hour “layover” at my parents house for a nice little nap). While we had a fantastic time together, enjoying our time on the road, doing our part to boost the economy, and spending time [...]

A few nights ago, I discovered that my cat has similar tastes – I left my drink unattended for a few moments and came back to this sight…
I was “mean” and [...]

Holiday Spirit
The following pic was snapped when doing a bit of pre-Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago. I forgot all about it until I started purging pictures from my phone.
I think this was the first hint of Christmas Cheer for him this year…
I’m also including a few fuzzy pictures of houses we saw on our [...]

The Story of Me..
The following essay was written by my mom. It’s all about how she found out she was expecting me. And those who know me well will find the story fits both me and my family quite well.
I had searched through every cupboard in the house. All I could find was a quart jar. It’s a [...]

I don’t wanna be a policeman, I wanna be a princess!!!
For those of you who are not complete movie buffs, this is one of my favorite lines from “Kindergarten Cop”. I thought of this when I was sent the following picture from a friend of mine.
This is from my office birthday party earlier this year. I think the crown is a good fit, don’t you?

Books
I have been stockpiling books for the last three months in hopes of having an extended patch of time to totally immerse myself into them. I have books I’ve borrowed, books I’ve bought, books given to me, books I’ve read before but want to re-read - the only thing I don’t have is books I’ve stolen. (Thankfully [...]
