  • Productivity, my drug of choice…

    Actually, carbs are my drug of choice, but productivity is better for me. Yesterday was a rockin’ day for me, I kicked butt and got more done than I planned. I love days like that. I was practically giddy with positive energy at dinner, and I still had 5 hours to go. Today is a…

  • Anniversary

    My apologies for the tardiness of this post, but yesterday was Christopher and my 4th wedding anniversary. I am so happy for each milestone we cross and even happier that we have many more to come. All my love, hun.

  • Shout About the Movies

    This weekend, Manda came over and we played a rousing round of “Shout About the Movies”. It’s a DVD movie trivia game much like “Scene It”, but no messing with the board and more questions about actual movies and not what color the picture frame on the wall is, a definate plus in my opinion.…

  • Old Favorites

    Today I am rediscovering the fun of listening to music I already love. We have about 500 cds, which is just enough so that some of your favorite music rarely makes it to the top of the playlist. So while gathering tunes for a graduation video I am putting together, I pulled out a few…

  • The Pros and Cons of Train Travel

    More room than an airplane – pro No free drinks – con Terrible customer service – con Nice scenery – pro Too many delays that add up to hours of my life I will never get back – con 2 people per side of the aisle, so I don’t have to crawl over strangers –…

  • Trains, Planes, Automobiles…and a Ferry?

    Merc and I just returned from Seattle. We went up for a quick trip because his cousin Lisa was getting married. (Congrats to the happy couple!) Sad to say that the trip did not turn out very well at all for us. To save some money, we decided to take the train to Seattle. Everyone…

  • Stuffed Artichokes

    So I made my mom’s stuffed artichokes last week, so good. When I was in high school, I found out that most people do not eat artichokes the way my family does. One of my classmates said something about steaming them and dipping the leaves in mayonnaise…I shudder to think of it even now. Anyway,…
