Today after my first full day back at work, I debated what to do with my whole luxurious unplanned evening ( Read more... )

Growing up, my brother and I used to play all those classic '90s video games. We played through the original Zelda on the gameboy and battled/raced every other day in Mario Kart.

Today is my 3rd day missing work due to incredible illness. Blargh. The good news is, with a rigorous diet of Gatorade, chicken noodle soup, and crackers, I'm starting to feel better.

As I was dropping off my dear husband at his work place early this morning, our one car (purchased less than 2 months ago) started with the alarming small jerks and squeaks that sent me running back to the auto place. On Tuesday they fixed the alternator and gave us a grocery list in order of urgency... several thousand dollars for everything if we ( Read more... )
