While on business in Orlando, I ran into two things: Gators. Did you know they are 90% muscle? And Beef. Did you know he is 90% muscle too?? As for the gators, they were in my hotel, which was pretty spectacular. Probably one of my top 5. But very, very expensive. My employer is NOT…
Last night, I had a little GNO with theAccountant and Hallmark4ever at Jose Tejas while I was in NJ for 40 hours. And let me tell you, it was like a Sex in the City episode! There’s just nothing like getting best friends together for girl talk. And it all came out … the good,…
J checks the Danville paper every morning online all the while fearing that he will read something about our house in it. Last Wednesday, that worst nightmare was realized. The headline read: Jefferson Avenue blaze destroys house Followed by a picture of … the house next to ours. Talk about perfect timing for a trip…
For anyone who wants to understand what J does for a living, don’t watch the new NBC show Parks and Recreation on Thursday. Okay, maybe watch it, but do so with a grain of salt. I am sure the show will be a total rag on local government and we all know how hard J…
It came and went and no one played any jokes! How disappointing. For those of you who know my husband know he pretty much plays an April Fools joke on people every single day. He’s the crying wolf type of boy. So since I seemed to miss out on all the fun this year, care…
So I told you we had another dance on Saturday night. The theme was something along the lines of got cabin fever, think spring. Our thoughts led us to the bee and beekeeper (whose company is called Bee Be Gone Inc.). Most other people were wearing bright colors and flowers. But they knew to expect…
I went to Boston today to take another medical writing class toward my certification. I know, such a fun thing to do on a beautiful spring Saturday. But it’s worth it. Anyways, whenever we go to Boston, we make 2 pitstops.1) REI — CHECK2) Baja Fresh — EPIC FAIL!I pull up to the Baja Fresh…
I have a window in my office that faces our awesome backyard. Fairly often, our landlord’s cats (and other neighborhood cats) sit outside my window on our porch roof. Mind you, my office is on the third floor of the converted barn we live in, so it’s no small feat for the cats to get…
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…
