I’ve been snowed, and I don’t like it one bit

I’ve prided myself for being an excellent judge of character for a good long time, but I am sad and horrified to learn that just might not be the case.

Do you remember Amy? The sad friend of the Teen who was being neglected and mistreated by her divorced parents; neither of whom wanted her? Something [...]

Hurry back to us!

A great evening!

Just a quick update to our anniversary evening. We had a wonderful meal at a small Italian restaurant called Pasqualino’s – and when I say wonderful, I mean my eyes were rolling back in my head it was so good!

Our waiter, Frank, took a decidedly unspectacular picture of us:

We had a lot of laughs, shared [...]

An Important Date in History

Not your history! Mine! ;)

A year ago today, four people met in a kitchen, unsure of how to get things started. They knew what they wanted, but didn’t really know how they were going to do it. They had no backup, and only a few sheets of paper to go by. It was a rocky [...]

Missed anniversary!

I can’t believe I completely forgot about my anniversary! No, not that one – this Blog’s 1st anniversary! It was May 16th – a whole week ago!

Usually I’m very good about dates, and remembering things like that – I had intended to do a big splashy “Woohoo, lookie here” post, and now I’m just a lame [...]

Heart Broken

Last night as I was tidying up I came across a crumpled piece of what I thought was scrap notebook paper, laying on the floor in the hallway. Odd place for someone to be chucking garbage, I thought, somewhat annoyed. Opening the paper, I realized it was a “quiet note” – you remember those, right? Where [...]

The Art of Bragging Part II

Doodle Cakes finally got her featured cake online, so I’m able to show you as well!

Actually… just head over to her site, and be sure to leave her a hearty congrats, will you?

I am just so thrilled for my friend – she really deserves the recognition for her stunning artistry. *hugs* [...]

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to use the image of [...]

Yes, I do suck.

I work online – both of my businesses mean that I spend vast quantities of time sitting here in this chair, researching, assigning tasks, and wading through scads of email from clients, contractors, and employees.

There are two things I do as a stress reliever whilst I’m doing this stuff… and those are blogging (natch) and [...]

Yeah, I got nothin’.

I had something I wanted to post about, but got sidetracked before I was able to make a note about it, and now… well, it’s gone. It was a pretty nifty subject too. I think. I need to keep a notebook with me. *sigh*

The party I put together for our larger group Saturday night was such [...]

Sneak peek, and Weekend Funnies

For the next installment on my “An Interview With…” series, I’m featuring a very very special… Group. Look for that on Sunday, March 21st. This interview will reveal a few things about me in their words… ACK, and about these 3 very special people in my life.

I am very excited about this interview, and even [...]

For JennyMac, et al

Not quite a month ago, I wrote about something going a bit awry with our larger choral group. One of the Basses had decided to pull something rather nasty, which caused quite an uproar. (Things are better now, and we’re working on new material for our June concert.)

When I mentioned that they’d be singing Unchained [...]

A vision of hell

So that was fun. Not.

As most of you know, I underwent PRK Advanced Custom Wavefront laser eye surgery last Monday. Following that has been, in all honesty, the week from hell.

A quick [simplified] lesson in the differences between Lasik and PRK surgeries:

With Lasik, there is a flap of tissue lifted on your eye, which [...]

Guest Post: HHT – Dude, you’re bleeding…

A few weeks ago, Jenn asked me to do this particular guest post as she had spent the day babysitting Little Bit while Frank #2 was having surgery. Just a disclaimer folks… this post is a bit of a downer. I tried to jazz it up, but it hits a little too close to [...]
