Love in the Time of Cholera:  In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love.  When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic.  As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina.  Her ( Read more... )

Anthony is doing a Live Well Eat Well thing at work sponsered by Wegmans to encourage people to walk 10,000 steps a day and eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.  So now he has to wear his pedometer.  Not to be outdone, I am wearing mine too.  This could get ugly!  He is already "stepping" quickly around me and saying, how does this make you ( Read more... )

Whatever you do, do NOT go to see Definitely, Maybe.  It was so terrible.  Originally I thought the premise was just dumb and I refused to go see it.  But then I kind of wanted to go see a movie and Anthony thought it wouldn't be too bad and his mom seemed excited about going.  We could barely sit through the whole thing!  Of course his mom was ( Read more... )

 Anthony just left for the weekend to go to a Rangers game in NYC with his cousin.  I am leaving tomorrow morning for Seattle and won't be back until Friday.  I think this is the longest we have been apart since moving in together 18 months ago.  I don't like sleeping by myself anymore though I don't mind being home alone.  I will be going out to ( Read more... )

especially since one of my new years resolutions was to post more often.  Oh well.  My favorite co-worker's daughter just had a baby (child number 5!).  So on Friday, my co-worker asks if I would like to go over to the hospital to see the baby during our lunch break.  Heck yes!  So we go over there.  Mind you, I've never met the mother of the new ( Read more... )

Last night when we went to our New Year Eve party, we brought over a huge vegetable tray, Diet Coke and some chocolates.  When we left I told my brother-in-law's gf that the host could keep the tray I had brought the vegetables over on, since it was a decent tray and perfectly reuseable.  Probably half of the vegetables were still on it when I left ( Read more... )

We went over to Anthony's brother's friend's apartment for New Years and had a blast playing Guitar Hero.  I NEED that game now!  It was so much fun.  The best part is that they had two guitars so you can play against each other.  I think if I had another dance mat, Dance Dance Revolution would be a lot more fun.

I am so determined to finish my goal of 50 books this year!  I have read 48 and have half read The Old Man and the Sea and Anhony is picking up Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich from the library tonight.  I should be able to get through those two in the next three days.  I think I'll post my brief thoughts on each book.  If you're interested

 I will post about Christmas, but not at the moment.  I just had to write something down so I don't forget it.  Keep in mind that I am not working this week (hooray for the school calendar) and that if I had my way when I am working, I would go to bed around 9pm at the latest.  I constantly say I'm tired and pass out on the couch before Anthony ( Read more... )
