The first igloo is a bust. We got another foot of snow Friday night into Saturday, and we haven’t gone out into the backyard to check for sure, but most likely we won’t be able to salvage it. But, we are still determined to build an igloo. So we will start from scratch this coming…
DetailsApparently there are only 200,000 people in this world with a birthday on Feb. 29! I don’t think I ever knew anyone with that bday until now. A big shout out to PosseLeader, who is turning 7, er 28, today. Party it up in Danville! Wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Two…
DetailsAfter watching the Oscars last night, I realized how few movies we ever see. We often see a preview of something we want to see, but it never happens. And every year during the award show, I’m not in a good position to have any sort of opinion on which movies should win in each…

J and I have a history of trying news things. Isn’t that what life is about? So this weekend was no exception. It started with our attempt to build an igloo. Just so you don’t think this is totally out of left field, J bought a kit for work because he wants to offer a…
DetailsFernando, my car, has problems driving around these wintry roads in NH. First, there was my encounter with the snowbank on the highway after some Masshole tried to run me off the road in December. Now every time I try to go out, there are potholes, frost heaves, large snowbanks and narrow streets to deal…
DetailsDid you see the lunar eclipse Wednesday night? We did and it was fantastic.
I meant to blog about our trip yesterday, but work is really busy for me right now. Really busy=practically no lunch break and long days. Really busy=no desire to write in free time. It usually gets really busy in the fall and spring. It’s happening earlier this year. Yikes. But I digress. Skybus got an…
DetailsNo time to rest this week … J and I are headed to Danville Thursday through Monday. Awhile back, we realized that Skybus, that new airline everyone is talking about, flies direct from Portsmouth to Greensboro for very cheap, so we jumped on it. I’ll let you know what I think of Skybus later. My…
DetailsSo I finally got back Monday from Phoenix. I was supposed to take a red-eye Sunday night, but Continental Airlines screwed up my flights. That’s just a whole other story. But I got home eventually and at least got a $100 voucher out of it. My trip was jam-packed, to say the least. Here are…
DetailsFor anyone who didn’t already know this, New Englanders are pretty intense about their sports teams. I actually didn’t quite know the extent until moving here and living through two winning seasons for their teams. Sunday night was an ugly example of what can happen when their team loses, especially to a NY team! As…
DetailsTime always flies, but this month seems like it was over in a blink! And it’s not like we were traveling this month – we were in NH every weekend. February is already going too fast … I just found out last night that I am going to the Valley of the Sun next week…
DetailsIf you aren’t tired of hearing about the stereotypical antics of upper management, you’ll like this article. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iTp7zHfVyGPpaDs1oBlnUsbLYZlAD8UD3JSG3 I loved the writing in this story because it was just injected with a play on words and so much humor. It may be a little biased, but it’s hard not to be in this case. The…

Today is Roid’s 30th birthday! For those who don’t know Roid, he was one of my five roommates that I lived with when I first moved to Phoenix in 2000. Roid now lives in Boston. He claims I followed him here. Clearly not the case. This is a big year for Roid. He is getting…
DetailsAnother weekend gone … why does it feel like they go so fast? Saturday was a big day for us, as REI was having one its “garage sales.” For those that don’t already know, REI is our all-time favorite store. But we don’t just shop there anytime. Instead we try to hold out for their…
DetailsDid I mention that J and I play indoor soccer? Well, for the first time since we’ve been playing in October, we won last night!!! Yeah, I know, that means we lost a lot of games. But in our defense, we were strangers playing together and never had time to practice. There are teams playing…
DetailsFortune Magazine released its 11th annual list of the “Best Companies to Work For.” I actually covered the results for my job, but I’ll be the first to admit I enjoy reading these kinds of articles. Google again secured the top spot and for many reasons. The California-based Internet search engine firm prides itself on…
DetailsI finally jumped on the bandwagon. After months of sheepishly reading random strangers’ blogs, I decided it was time to start my own. My biggest fear in all this was the idea of putting my life “out there.” Since I played the voyeur role for so long to unsuspecting bloggers, there may be some of…
