Now that I have a little time on my hands, I would like to start reading for pleasure again. I love fiction and for the past few years I have been really into Elizabeth Berg. She has written several books and if you are a woman, I highly recommend her. She has an amazing ability…

I am a sucker for medical dramas, namely E.R. and Grey’s Anatomy. Since I have been out sick for the past 3.5 days, hubby bought me the first season of Grey’s and I watched it in between seasons 3 and 4 of E.R. Now even though they are both medical shows, these 2 couldn’t be…

Since finishing my “stinking degree” as it more commonly known these days, I have emersed myself in the fine art of cooking. I am Italian and I come from a long line of “good cookers”, so naturally the culinary fires burn within me. While my days and nights were being eaten whole by my Little-Shop-of-Horrors…

Amazing isn’t it? I have just completed the last requirement for my Master’s degree. I don’t think it’s really hit bottom yet, but I am already feeling lighter. I have been wound into knots this past semester and at times I thought they were trying to kill me, but I’ve come out the other side,…

(or at least those who know me) I am facing up to one of the busiest, most stressful times in my life, so far. I am rapidly coming to the end of my Master’s program and as such, everything is due. With every passing minute, the pressure builds even more. I calculated all I have…

I don’t know what it is, but I really love a clean house. It just makes me happy inside when everything is put away and all the countertops have been wiped off. I can breathe easier, find things quickly and I even seem more relaxed. I am sure this means I have issues 🙂

We’re coming to you live from the ever-so-famous…San Francisco! That’s right I finally made the long trek (and I do mean long) to the upper half of this great state. So far I am still in culture-shock. It doesn’t feel like this place should be on the west coast. I keep forgetting where I am.…

Alright, I admit it. I am a sucker for the Muppets. We just stocked up on a few of the classic Muppet titles on DVD. I can’t tell you how wonderful it has been to re-watch these favorites. Besides the obvious nostalgia, they are just funny, clean, cute and the songs rock! I don’t think…

Merc and I met our friend Todd today for lunch. We chatted and sipped our beverages while we waited for our food to be delivered. I had ordered a blackened chicken mini pizza, which sounded great as I usually get the blackened chicken sandwich and have always enjoyed it. Once my pizza arrived I took…

SXSW was great. I got about 4 hours of footage for the documentary. But more importantly, I got to meet people in person that I have known from the internet for a long time. For the most part, everyone was just as I expected. It’s an interesting element of online communication, knowing people before you…
