Random Santa Fe thoughts

March 11, 2015

So the snow is finally melting, yay! My mind turns to warm, sunny places. Mr. Ken posted a Facebook picture of a souvenir from our Santa Fe trip and this got me to thinking about Santa Fe. I love that place! There is something magical about it. We spent a glorious week there […]

Mystery solved for What is it

March 4, 2015

I know you all have been sitting at the edge of your seats, wanting to know the answer to last week’s post, What is it? One answer could be these cute little boxes make perfect resting spots for Peeps. M&Ms also fit perfectly into them as well. Alas, these containers are part of Beachbody’s 21 […]

What is it?

February 25, 2015

It’s time for another puzzle. What do you think these things are? HINT: The number 21 is involved. Note to my friend Susan – you can’t guess since you already know. You were the person who introduced me to these. 🙂 Photograph is thanks to Mr. Ken, photographer extraordinaire.

Now THAT’S great marketing

February 18, 2015

As we are having our 4th big snowstorm in two weeks, I am really, really enjoying my Jessica Smith workouts. Jessica lives and films her workouts in Florida. It is so nice to see palm trees, pretty water views, boats and pelicans. I can pretend that I am somewhere warm. Maybe I should write a […]

Just be nice

February 11, 2015

As I have had to navigate the health care maze for my elderly mother, I can feel my blood pressure going up. There is so much waste and stupidity, yes stupidity in our system! Mom fell and has a very big and nasty gash on her leg. She spent several days in the hospital to […]

How to watch the Super Bowl (like a girl)

February 4, 2015

Blah, blah, blah. I hate football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it. Yes, the Patriots won the Super Bowl. Yes, it was a cliff hanger of a game. Yes, […]

Snow day!

January 28, 2015

When did we lose the sense of wonder and enchantment of things? As a child, I gleefully anticipated a snow day. I would go to bed the night before, hoping against hope that there would be enough snow to cancel school. Even though I loved school, it was so much fun to stay home and […]

The joy of housework

January 21, 2015

Yes, that’s right, I used the word “joy” and “housework” in the same sentence. I’ve spent the past few weeks staying with my Mom. She fell and luckily she didn’t break any bones, but she really gashed her leg and arm, so I need to be around to help her. I want to make her […]

10 minute rant

January 14, 2015

Or rather, a rant about 10 minutes. If you’ve read my blog posts, you know that I am obsessed, er interested, in fitness. I love to keep up with the latest trends. Well the latest fitness trend is for short workouts. Short, as in 10 minutes. I’m all for 10 minute breaks throughout the day. […]

Afraid to be alone

January 7, 2015

I sit here on a grey, rainy Christmas Eve afternoon, listening to some beautiful classical Christmas music on the Pandora channel. My favorite hymn is “Oh Holy Night.” I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. I am listening to Christmas music while typing on the computer. This can be fine, but it got me […]
