It's 6:40pm on a Monday night and I am just getting home from the gym after a day of work.  The laundry is in the washing machine, the dog has been given sufficient snuggles and I am starting to think about food.  Monday night dinners are always eaten around 8pm, because that's when my husband returns from martial arts class.  Should I have a snack ( Read more... )

It's been a long, long time. As I sit in my home watching an episode of Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain on this lazy Sunday afternoon, curled up with my sweet dog Chipotle, I had a sudden urge to post an entry in an online journal again. I've gone back and forth between different online journals but it all started here ( Read more... )

I have just decided that I love the TV show "What Not to Wear". It's awesome and I need Satellite at home so that I can watch it every Friday ( Read more... )

Yikes, I can never go to sleep when I plan. I have a bit of semi-insomnia/"I don't wanna go to bed yet!" syndrome and so I'm going to write a post. Not too much has been going on with me....hence the lack of writing in my journal. I'm excited because this year my mom and I decided to do the 12 days of Christmas. Mom, dad and myself each get to ( Read more... )

So, a couple of years ago Thanksgiving was really tough for me...last year I spent most of the day reviewing that day and trying to think what I could have done to change things. This year, there is none of that sadness. I am so grateful for this life I lead that I can't begin to describe it....but I thought I would at least list some of the many ( Read more... )

It was the perfect fall day outside this afternoon. Some trees are still holding on to summer and remain green, while others have given in and are turning gold, bronze and red. It was warm with just enough of a breeze to be comfortable in the sunshine. I love it. If I could find a place in this world that only had fall and spring, I would be a ( Read more... )
