Month: January 2013

1. It is official. I have sneezed more in the year 2013 than in my entire life. What is up with all the wicked illness going around this year?2. This morning, I dumped the last of the Starbucks Christmas Blend into the coffee filter. Let's pause for a moment of silence...3. In other news, today [...]

Andy was known to say this, but the truth is, he got the "I do what I want" gene from me. This gene came down the Hart/Wheeler gene pool to his Nana and she passed it on to me. My sister also received this gene, but mostly, she was able to suppress it. Not so [...]

Morning would not be the same without a cup of coffee. I've given up trying to give it up, rationalize it, and/or pretend coffee doesn't exist.Coffee, it appears, is here to stay.I suppose I would not struggle so much with my love of coffee if it weren't for the sugar (raw, thank you) and half [...]

I'm procrastinating. By writing a post for La Blawg. I'm just too comfy to get on with what I need to (have to) do. The fireplace is on; the mantel clock is ticking (rather loudly). The mantel clock, by the way, not only ticks loudly, it gongs very loudly. It is driving My Man insane. [...]

Sunshine streaming through the glass on a cold, January morning is Da Bomb, don't get me wrong. But, after several weeks, could be months for all I know...I've lost so much time being SAD, of gloomy darkness, the sun, enlightening the dust, dog fur, oh and look! there's a Starbucks cup on the floor...is not [...]

1. I cannot be trusted to cook or bake anything if NCIS is on the telly. Flames, smoke and explosions have been known to occur. More than once.2. Gas dryer's cost about $100 more than electric dryers. Either way, a lot of cash especially right after Christmas.3. It's scary when your husband decides to save [...]

The words are definitely not flowing these days. So frustrating. I have a lot to say; just not sure I want to share it and I'm pretty certain you don't want to read it!I am taking the advice of my bff, Joanne Heim, however and I'm just sitting down and making myself write.Speaking of bff, [...]

So I've been hitting the gym regularly. I have to say that what "they" say is true...the gym is about 5,324 times more crowded the first few weeks of the New Year. Resolutions and all, apparently. Annoying, definitely. I've tried several different times to go and guess I will stick with my usual time of [...]

Also known as January 4, 2013. So far I have totally blown New Year Non-resolution #1: no new books in 2013 has turned into, "I just need these last few to get me through the year." Cuz I don't have enough books that I've never read in any of the book shelves, baskets and stacks [...]

Just a fancy way to say, A List.1. The wreath hanging on the mirror in the living room above the fireplace still smells heavenly, and it has been there since the day after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, because it does hang above the fireplace and the fireplace has been used almost every day since then, it is [...]
