Well, in less than 24 hours we are. And I’m soooooo ready for a vacation. I’m eager to say goodbye to the wet, crappy snow that fell on Wednesday and that still lingers in my backyard despite a lovely day of sunshine. It may snow in April in Michigan, but […]
Have MacBook, will become less productive than ever
So, yeah, I’m completely mobile now. Wireless on a desktop Mac wasn’t all that impressive. Woo-hoo…I can access the Internet from anywhere in my house! As long as it’s my desk. But now I can check blogs, do my banking and Flickr incessantly while watching “Cars” with Devin in the […]
The yin and yang
Sometimes it’s easier to complain. I think it’s human nature. But in the spirit of balancing the negative with the positive, here’s my take on today. Negative: I went swimsuit shopping and it wasn’t a pretty picture. I’ve never been bothered by the process before, but gaining ten pounds certainly […]
Three reasons to dislike Easter
1. Someone decided that Easter would be a good time for Peeps and chocolate bunnies. Even though we kept things pretty minimal with the kid’s Easter basket, I’m blaming the sugar high on his decision to skip his nap yesterday and then get up at 4:00 a.m. this morning. Grrrr. […]
Just 10 minutes, please!
I have had a post, about my drive to Chicago, ready to write for three days now. And I can’t find a moment to do it. What gives? I will say that I’ve had time to eat plenty of Peeps this week. I guess you know where my priorities are!
My first and last restaurant review
Our friends took us out to dinner on Friday night. To the newly revamped Cygnus 27, perched atop the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Chad then tasked me to share my impressions on my blog. OK…sure! I should start by saying that I’m bucking any “restaurant review” etiquette because I took […]
What the spam catcher caught
Subject: The plan is for Britney to eventually gain primary custody and Kevin will have visitation The funny part is the body of the email is trying to sell a stock.
Tipping the scales
I can NOT believe how much of a blogging slacker I’ve been lately. To be honest, I’m trying to prioritize and sometimes jotting down my random, meaningless thoughts just can’t be a priority. Sadly enough. Because I rather relish my inane chatter on this website. I’m struggling to find balance. […]
Trapped by a three-year-old
The last week is a bit of a blur. It included preparations and hosting of Devin’s three-year birthday party. So, yeah, plenty to do. Yet I wasn’t sooo busy that I couldn’t post to my site (or his) now and again. The bigger problem was. Well. Him. I so hate […]
OK, people…where’s my brain?
I thought, with my previous post, that one of y’all would have returned it by now. Seriously. I need it. It’s bad enough that I took nearly a year to complete the N-600 form and mail out all of the stuff to the folks at Homeland Security. (What is that […]
