J & I love to be inspired. We are the type of people who are really affected by movies and motivational speakers. So it’s no wonder that we were moved by “Lemonade” (not the drink, but the movie). In an era of economic turmoil, this short film demonstrates how some people turned their layoff from…
When we have nice temps in NH in April, we take advantage of it. You just never know what you are going to get in this state! Last weekend, it was snowing! J just fixed up his old mountain bike so we could ride on trails. Plus, when he’s on his road bike, I have…
I can tell you how I know I am getting older. J and I ran a 5K tonight. My time was a little over 29 minutes. This is my new normal and that’s tough for me. In 2000 when I was 22, I ran my first 5K. I was ill-prepared; I liked to run, but…
As I sit here, on Earth Day, recycling my work papers, I am pondering an important question. First let me admit that I cannot kick the habit of printing out all the work-related journal articles and reports to read and underline. I am just not an online reader. I never want an iPad or Kindle…
J woke from his slumber finally and filled me in on all the details of the bachelor party in Vegas and I thought you would all like to know and see pictures. So here goes … Did you get all that? Just like the movie The Hangover, only worse! Weren’t those pictures wild and crazy?
I’m not talking about Earth Day (which is next week). We went to another Carbon Leaf concert last night. I’m now up to 4; I think I will officially be a groupie after we go to 2 more of their concerts next month. I don’t know though. I think J’s definition of a groupie is…
USING YEAST TO MAKE DOUGH … A few months back, I was talking to RedJeepTrvlr about her irrational fear of yeast. Then I realized, I think I am scared too. Truthfully, I never thought much of yeast. I wrote it off as something woman in the 1950s worked with. I couldn’t even envision what yeast…
The Green Monstah!
I have more reviews of the Oscar winners! Go here for 1981-present (although, we have yet to see this year’s winner, The Hurt Locker). Of the 82 award-winning movies, we have seen and rated 57!!! More than halfway to our goal! We will probably be slowing down as summer comes, but I think we will…
My rents (Short on Coffee and Big on Lotto) have come and gone. It was a truly gratifying visit. My family has had a tumultuous last 2 years, so visits like this are priceless. The weather in the Northeast has just been spectacular. I have a feeling it’s not going to last, but you just…
Besides our co-ed soccer team, I sub sometimes for a woman’s team on Wednesdays. Last night, I played in one of their games. I scored. J was watching from the sidelines yesterday and he was so proud of me. He said they passed the ball to me on the wing, I stopped it, looked and…
