School is almost out. And I’m simultaneously looking forward to and dreading summer. Summer can be fun. There are lots of things we get to do during summer that don’t happen at other times. Like: spending hours and hours at the pool; not having to get up early to get ready for school (though GMan [...]
I try and get to the Y at least three times a week to workout. Many days I have trouble getting motivated. Then I’m reminded of the wonderful benefit of exercising. No, it’s not because it’s healthy. Nor is it because of the after work-out high. It’s not even the modern equipment and fun fitness [...]
I guess I got a little too cocky last night by being oh-so-sure that a glass of wine, not whine, with dinner was in my future and that I somehow deserved it. As it turns out, it was not to be. My dear, sweet husband had said the those words I love to hear, “Let’s [...]
And we’re back! Did you miss me? Wait, don’t answer that! OK…I have a new hard drive on my computer. Computer Geek Place #1 was “unable” to recover data from my kaput hard drive. My hope is that they just don’t really specialize in that kind of thing and that Computer Geek Place #2 or [...]
My computer got the dreaded blue screen last night. We tried several reboots and other maintenance type “tricks” but nothing worked to get it back. We took it to be repaired today and it’s the hard drive. They’re going to replace it and they said they would try to recover data from my old hard [...]
Last summer my mom bought the GMan a pair of Crocs. They quickly became his shoe of choice (mine as well) because he could put them on all by himself and we all know how important that can be during toddlerhood! He wore them through the summer and into the fall and winter (with socks [...]
They say it’s called snow. And they even closed school! I’m not entirely convinced but it sure has been cold all day. I’m drinking my obligatory mug of hot chocolate right now. (Yes Emily, I made it the same way you did last night!) The kids have even be out in it a few times. [...]
About a year ago my good friend Ivy and her good friend Heather (who, I’d say, has become a good friend to me since then) had an idea for website/blog about all the stuff that one usually learns from Home Economics classes in high school or from mothers but for some reason, has become a [...]
I both love and loathe being a Girl Scout leader. I don’t write here about those experiences because I don’t want to end up offending any parents. And really, it’s not the scouts or their parents that are my problem. It’s me. I get awfully stressed in the day(s) leading up to our meetings and [...]
So I had this little spa party last night at my place. Wine, chocolate, foot soaks, warm neck wraps, more wine, more chocolate, a bunch of products that smell divine and feel good, a little more wine, some cheese (really, really yummy cheese), a little more chocolate….you get the picture. It was indulgent and decadent [...]
