Hard Work

With the holidays and vacation right and an incredibly busy schedule, my fitness regime had taken a real hit.  This past week in preparing to get back into dress clothes I was faced with the reality that I’ve had a little too much fun and not enough punishment the last few weeks.  Time to get [...]

Man of the House

Tonight I had a call from a telemarketer.  Her first question was "May I speak with the man of the house?"  I replied, "I am the man of the house."  She paused and then said, "Thank you for your time" and hung up.   Hmmm…. was it something I said?
I got something in the mail from [...]

Holiday Endings

Thanksgiving 2005 has come to a close.  The official transition for me happens when I put up Christmas decor which happened this afternoon.  The tree is up, the lights are in the window . . . I just need to dig out from cd storage the Christmas songs to officially get in the mood.  Although [...]

Happy Stuffing Day

When I was doing laundry last night at the laundromat, my goal was to get the remainder of my dirty clothes into one washer saving myself $1.25 and some detergeant.  My stuffing was creative and well-planned.  There were no haphazard crammings, no wasted space.  No matter how much I wanted it, no matter how good [...]

Thank God for Laundromats

As I type this my very first pumpkin pie is baking in the oven.  I’m abnormally excited about this new cooking venture. As we gather at my parent’s table tomorrow, I am bringing pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies and the infamous green bean casserole.  Usually we put my mother through heck as she prepares everything but [...]

So you can see why I haven’t had the time, [...]

Thankful For . . .

            
Tuesday night was our C-Group Thanksgiving dinner.  The youth planned the whole thing and brought food to share.  I made turkey and gravy. They brought stuffing, green bean casserole, bread and mashed potatoes. It was wonderful!  15 of us around the table sharing in a thanksgiving feast.  There was the [...]

Quick Post

This is a really quick update.  I should be in bed by now but I got caught up in the Lost: Season I DVD series.  I finished disc two tonight.  Only five more to go.  Watching a season on DVD is incredibly convenient and is spoiling me, I believe.  I’m trying to catch up quickly [...]

Par for the Course

I’m worn out tonight so this post probably won’t be much.  I played golf all afternoon at Railwood. It was a perfect day and it was a wonderful and long afternoon.  About 5 hours of golf with a couple of friends. Railwood was gorgeous with so much fall foilage and great hilltop views.  It is [...]
