I had absolutely NO intention of buying anything today.
Financially, my DH and are ok, but very savings minded. So much so that he and I are looking to trade in my beloved Highlander hybrid car for something considerably less expensive. The trade to something like the new Kia Rondo or the Chevy Uplander [...]

On Tuesday morning, I drove out to see a dear friend who lives about an hour away. To pass the time and to be proactive about my upcoming teaching gig, I listened to the CDs that accompany the textbook out of which I will soon teach Effective Communication, or public speaking. All told, I [...]

1. Pawn of Prophecy, by David Eddings. This book is the beginning of a ten-book saga about a boy who is the the long-awaited hero (sorcerer, king) come to save the world and defeat the great evil. Sarcastic, funny, dazzling and I have already cast it …

Today I easily found a sparking pot, er parking spot when I visited a quaint New England town for lunch with a friend.

Ever notice that sometimes you can’t leave well enough alone?
Ever do something stupid in a rash fit?
My hand’s up.
Yesterday started relatively normally. Husband and I got up at the crack of dawn, got Boo up and headed downstairs to release the hounds from their crates. They wanted OUT of course, but since the snowplow guy [...]

I’m going with a theme for today from a prompt my mother came up with. I plan to use it in my (potential) composition class. I find out soon if the classes I am signed up to teach actually occur. Stay tuned.

Twelve years ago on the 17th, I was not yet a mother.
I was lumbering around our apartment in Seattle. My husband had just finished his last clinic shift of his medical degree (on his birthday, yet), we had two weeks off before things started up at his medical school again and I went [...]

Up and down my right side is a chain gang of tiny sadistic bastards playing havoc with my nerves - specifically the ones that run from my ass to my ankles. I have had sciatica before and each time this prickly creep returns to visit, much fun is not had. Fortunately, I had [...]

As I often do when driving around my fair town, I listen to NPR. Yesterday, while driving over to Mrs. Chili’s, the topic of NH’s proposed bills for gay marriage and for civil unions was raised. As the Live Free or Die state, I feel it is entirely appropriate for this state to have either [...]
