This is not a shameless plea or effort to persuade, because that’s just not me. Frankly, I’m more of a follower than a leader. But, I thought I’d tell you about Earth Hour. We did it last year. It’s when you turn off all your electricity for an hour to recognize global warming. So here’s…
Most of J’s teenage years were spent in the hospital. He was a sickly boy and he’s been jabbed with needles (legally) in spots you wouldn’t even think of. Don’t worry, he’s been all better since he met me. No seriously. Knock on wood, his chronic problems haven’t caused us any big hiccups. I told…
My sister just called me to tell me she was violated. She is a speech pathologist and spends most of her days on the road traveling from client to client. So she normally finds a nice quiet parking lot to eat her lunch. Today, she was parked in one of her usual spots eating peacefully…
Hi, Unless you are calling my husband to talk about bracketology, or how the Huskies beat the Huskies, he will be unavailable. At least for the next few weeks. As for me, I’m all sorts of available.
I do have some Irish in me, but I don’t like corned beef. Which is why we had pork chops, baked potato and beets for dinner last night. But, our local church (the church led by Eugene Levy … for real), is sponsoring a corned beef dinner this Saturday. You get corned beef and cabbage,…
I know some people got our relief phone call or text, but for everyone else, J’s job is safe for another year! And actually, it was a lot of worry for nothing. Not that recreation didn’t come up, but no one actually proposed to cut it completely. They just basically complained that it existed. It’s…
Crap. My least favorite time of year. And if you don’t live in NH, or wherever else they have this unique form of government, you wouldn’t even know it’s Town Meeting time or what that means. Let me break it down for those who are unfamiliar. A town department (everything from recreation to police/fire) proposes…
As if we didn’t spend enough money this weekend out at our pub crawl, J and I decided to do something different Tuesday night. We’ve been trying to go more this winter to the indoor rock climbing gym in Manchester, that way maybe this summer, we’ll actually feel prepared to climb outside and check out…
Bolt made it home safely from his ice climbing expedition.So after one visitor left, two more came. Last March, we visited AlwaysGame in the Boston area and did a pub crawl. We tried to recreate the event in Concord. Just like last year, we only made it to 3 bars. We started at The Barley…
On our drive home from the Great North Monday, I spotted a moose, but I’m not satisfied yet. I am on the lookout all the time. It is my goal to see a moose before we move out of NH. Just like it was my goal to see a rattlesnake and a tarantula in AZ.…
Our dance studio hosted another theme party (they do it every month), so it has just been “our thing” to try to come up with crazy costumes. I think we did pretty well. The hats made it difficult for our turns in the waltz and swing, but they were still fun! We are currently waiting…
Democrat, Republican or Independent, the 2009 inauguration marked a very historic event. BossLady was one of the millions of people who attended and I asked her to document her attendance. If you would like to be a guest blogger in the future, please submit your entry and my Board of Directors will review and make…
For the 3rd year in a row, I am giving up iced tea for Lent. You might think that’s a cop-out going back to the same sacrifice year after year. But I assure you, it is really hard for me to go without my ice tea for 40 days! Like I may go into withdrawal…
For those of you who know me, you know I HATE shopping. Mainly it’s because I hate spending money and I like getting the most out of what I buy. Which is why I own clothing items from 1995. No seriously. I do. Case in point. I got the boots below when I was a…
We’re still on our quest to hit all the breweries in VT, but we also don’t want to miss the ones in NH. So this weekend, we ventured to Keene to the Elm City Brewery. The main reason we went to Keene, though, was to see a jam band Railroad Earth in concert. The lead…
After nearly 2 months, we got our refurbished TV back. Although we survived and proved our test for a life without TV, we are happy to have it back. It’s only 27 inches, but it looks so DARN BIG. I guess that’s what happens when you get used to squinting to see a 13-inch screen.…
Last night, my kickboxing partner laughed and told me that I look like I am riding a pony while trying this one move. I can assure you, when I see other people doing the move, they certainly don’t look like they are riding a pony. I never had good coordination, especially for aerobics. But man,…
McKinely has an appt. at the vet tomorrow to get his annual feline distemper vaccine and J said, “but why? His temper is fine!” ***UPDATE … Mr. McKinley’s temper is just fine following the vaccination.
I haven’t had anything blog-worthy to say lately and I apologize to my THREE blog readers, LOL. But I will say, I love Friday the 13th. And we have one today and next month. Yippee skippee! I’ve also felt like I’ve always had a good day on Friday the 13th, so I’m certainly not superstitious…
Well, Sunday was WARM. By our standards. 46 degrees!!!! We still have most of our snow, but at least some of these badasses have disappeared.
