OMG, YAY!!!!
Well, here's the news that everyone has been waiting for, John and I are officially engaged! While I'm thrilled to pieces at this life altering milestone (no pun intended), the fact that Aunt Carolyn posted her congratulations on both our Facebook pages PLUS hers and Uncle Dale's kind of forced my hand a bit to change my "Relationship Status" ( Read more... ) -
Almost Another Year Down
It seems to me that 2011 flew by. Aside from being a bit bored from not working this week due to Merck being shut down, I'm glad for the break. And when I go back next Tuesday, I'll be complaining that I need rest. Can't win, can I, LOL! Still, I'm glad that 2012 is coming in spite of the "end of the world" theories people have regarding the ( Read more... ) -
Getting To Be That Time Again
First of all, I am happy to report that Hannah is okay! She pulled through the surgery just fine and she has a long road ahead of her recovery wise, but the plan is to get her to walk with braces. This is another sign that miracles are ever present in our day to day lives. I think about this stuff almost every day and every day can be a wonder ( Read more... ) -
A Time For Miracles
We are now in that time of year where everyone is getting ready to celebrate the Winter holidays, whether it's Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Yule, or all of the above. Since I've been celebrating Chanukah for pretty much my entire life, the one thing I keep getting asked is "Don't you get a present each night?" or "Don't you get eight presents?" ( Read more... ) -
New Year, New Beginnings
First of all, L'Shana Tova and let's hold on to the hope (as I do every year) that this is a good year and a sweet year. After being worried about being made redundant (again) and facing the prospect of a lyoff from PRWT, I was lucky enough to secure a new job with CompuCom doing the exact same thing that I have been doing for the last two years ( Read more... ) -
That Was Just Really Weird
Today was one of those days where J had to do some handyman work for my mom and then take me back to his house so he can clean up and I can spend some time talking to his mom and dad. Okay, normal so far. After J got cleaned up, he took me to Feeny's so we could walk around and look at the Halloween decorations that they had up for sale (plus J ( Read more... ) -
Thar She Blows!
Hurricane Irene has been the topic of conversation for the last week and now we are starting to get rain due to the onset of the storm (it's actually supposed to hit later on tonight, not sure if I'm going to sleep through, we'll see). Due to my concern for John's safety, we cut short our day together. Not that we didn't spend any time together ( Read more... ) -
This Week Is Officially Weird
Today the eastern seaboard was rocked by an earthquake. That was freaky in itself. I checked in with my mother and she and Cinny were both fine. The only thing that fell in the house was a box of Trader Joe's Organic Peanut Butter Dog Treats and guess who was starting to go to town on those. I also checked on my future in-laws to make sure they ( Read more... ) -
New York Trip
Mom and I went to see the show Million Dollar Quartet with her Jewish Women International Group. I had a great time, in spite of some people who should be beyond old enough to know better almost ruining everything for everyone and certain others who kept staring at me for no reason (I'll get into that in a bit).
- First of all, I was afraid that ( Read more... )

Sorry, Not Gonna Happen
There are people going on about how The Rapture is coming and it's the end of the world and all that jazz. It's bad enough that my ex-boyfriend, Chris, thought that there was some Christianity link to Star Wars. Puh-leaze. It's bad enough that he made me believe that I was heading straight to Hell. Um, no. My friend Carmel and I kidded each ( Read more... )
