I've had occasion recently to notice the vast range of differences between individuals. Sure, we all know those exist on a large level, but these were examples that to me were more granular and pretty amusing. Some time ago on Facebook I posted this status "Hey, did anyone catch the license plate # of the... Continue Reading →
I passed my latest blood test with flying colors! Cholesterol is down. Triglycerides are way down. I didn't even have to debate with my doctor on medication - she was thrilled with how the Lovaza+diet+exercise seems to have done the trick. Unfortunately for my wallet, the Lovaza is a fairly recent FDA approved pure Omega... Continue Reading →
The perfect Sunday
My Sunday is perfect if the following things happen: No alarm goes off. After two straight Sundays with 4am alarms, this is particularly sweet. Lounging in bed reading or watching TV with cats dozing alongside for as long as you want. Or, until your stomach demands breakfast 🙂 Standing in the shower until the hot... Continue Reading →

Because it WILL happen to you too. Sigh….
First crush
Yes, I just finished watching Modern Family. Yes, the scene in the bar with all the gays discussing their first crush & then Ed O'Neill joining in was fall off the couch funny. I even had to admit to sharing Longinue's crush - Bo Duke from Dukes of Hazzard (John Schneider). He was, I think... Continue Reading →
Mirror mirror on the wall
As I was sweeping the floor downstairs just now, I hear SB say, out loud into his microphone because he is playing Xbox Live with other players "What the FUCK?!" I sigh and continue sweeping and think about how it was when I was a teen, and you think you are out of earshot of... Continue Reading →
A new season begins
High school baseball starts for real tomorrow. And I have learned that it is WAY MORE intense than football! He has either a game or a practice 6 out of 7 days - Sunday is the only day of rest. Mother Nature is being kind to us and the only rain in site the next... Continue Reading →
Riddle me this: You all know I have a need to park in MY SPOT at work. You also know I have a need to walk as many steps as possible each day. MY SPOT is closest to the stairway to my basement office. Which is important given that I am carrying my purse, lunch... Continue Reading →
