  Did I ever mention I hate technology? Oh, yeah, I know I wallow in it for a living. And, I depend on it for a hobby. And, between my iPad, my laptop, and my phone I will no doubt die of some rare cancer brought on by continual exposure to low frequen...

• It's Official - It's No Longer My Dining Room
  on May 16, 2013 in household moving DH
  It's official the room formerly known as my dining room is officially no longer my dining room. Any glimmer of hope I had of ever entertaining or serving a meal in there was dashed today. Well, truth be told, there was just a flicking glimmer and it...

  Oh, what fun it was to entertain friends from other places. Or, perhaps as some of them may say - from civilized places. The wedding weekend was fun and special and all those things a wedding weekend should be. Of course ours had that added touch whe...

  "After the party's over, after the band is through . . ." Lyrics to an old song my Mama used to play on the piano during her afternoon performances. But, I digress. The dress, my MOB dress, you know the one that did not fit? Well, it was time to r...

  Life is unkind for a middle age woman. Yes, I can opine because it is that time of year. I made the mistake of entering the swim suit department of the store. Deep depression set it. The designers have no scruples. I hope they can reap their mil...

  Now that the wedding is behind us, we are back to our normal life, whatever "normal" is. It took me 8 days, but  I have managed to put up most of the things from the beach, wash the clothes, empty the coolers, pack the suitcases, bags and boxes...
