I know I asked for silver as a wedding gift. At some point it must have seemed like a good idea. At that time, I know I wasn’t thinking about all the time it was going to take to polish the stuff.
Still it does look pretty. […]

Snowed a little last night - maybe a inch and it’s very cold. Still no men here to cut holes in the walls or floor. Plumber has not arrived. The three year old woke up at 3am and played till 5am.(she’s now sleeping peacefully) I’ve been […]

I love my plumber. I really do. But I’m in a state of half panic and most of it is probably my own fault. Or at least the husband’s.
So much easier to blame someone else, I think.
See, when the new dining room table was delivered three months ago, (I know […]

I thought this was so cool!

This is my husband’s cousin, Jason, with his potential world record grouper of 400+ lbs. Jason’s a professional sport fisherman, lives in Tanzania, Africa, which is where my husband was born, and holds many continent fishing records. In fact, one morning, we were watching ESPN fishing […]

It’s soooo good to be back home! My daughter’s surgery was a big success, so thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers - I know they helped. Now, if they could just help my back, which is in very bad condition after sleeping in chairs for two weeks. The eight […]

My husband has poison ivy. Not a big deal - he’s gotten it every single summer since I’ve known him. But this time, despite medication, it wasn’t getting better. Plus, it looks disgusting. So I’ve been trying to get him to go to the doctor for about a week. No […]

LOL - okay, not really - but she’s been approved for a really cool operation called the Titanium Rib. It’s meant to help kids who need more room in their chests (in my daughter’s case, she’s got a severe scoliosis that’s taking up some much needed lung room. Usually, when doctors look at […]

or why does everyone get to see me in my p.j.’s?
Zoo went to the Buick Classic (big golf tornament for all you non-golfers, like me, out there). And all his friends/co-workers met him here this morning. Early this morning, as I’m sitting, in p.j.’s, no make-up, literally rolled out of bed, feeding […]

This was my mother’s question to me today. She then went on to insist that ‘those little kids’ are in all six of the movies. I tried explaining about hobbits, etc., to no avail. I think we had this same conversation last year, when she statrted to watch part two of LOTR […]

…and a cool husband
Really, how many men would take a day off from work because their wife needed to spend four hours getting her hair straightened?

Yeah - I finally finished TOD - only took forever (okay - not even close, but it felt like it.) Some of the books fly out of me and some of them crawl out. But once I sat down and demanded my characters actually speak to me, everything was fine. I’m in the process of […]

It’s always like hold-home-week when we take my daughter to that hospital (and now that she’s not trached we fly instead of taking the fourteen hour drive from New York). Although, I have to say, I miss the time in the car - flying is such a pain these days with all the added (and […]

. . . and it looks like more snow is coming on Friday, if you believe the weather report.
I’m anxious for spring, but, till then my daughter and I just cozy up at home and nest.
Okay - here’s today’s horoscope for ARIES:
A place far away that you haven’t visited for a while, yet long to […]
