Having fun at Costco

May 8, 2013

4

I normally don’t like grocery shopping. It’s a chore and it’s annoying and tiring. I have now found that I love going to Costco. For my international friends, Costco is a large warehouse club. Everything is sold in BIG quantities; you can’t just go in and buy a 1 ounce bag of M & M’s […]

Life with a car guy

May 1, 2013

My dear husband is a car guy. I’m not. My view of cars: * A means to get from Point A to Point B * As long as no loud noises are heard from the car, it’s good to go. I should also mention that I drive a ’97 Toyota Camry. In a year or […]

With all the sadness and terror last week, I thought we could do with some light hearted postings. I am going to tell you about my experience doing Beachbody’s Insanity (R) program.

I sat down to write a light-hearted blog post about my fun day watching the Boston Marathon. Instead, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face as I try to make sense of the senseless violence.

Lots to do today with a tight timeframe. Insurance paperwork needing to be done. Not fun. As I started my day, I began to look forward to it. I love being organized and blasting through my To Do List. For a moment, I did feel guilty, thinking I shouldn’t be enjoying my errands or my […]

How to make a good first impression – or not

I had to go to the bank to deposit a check. I’m already annoyed because I hate going to the bank. Long lines, annoying music, video screens in my face, tellers trying to sell, sell, sell. You get the picture. All I want to do is get in and get out, no conversation. The teller […]

Ode to Peeps Peep, Peep, Peep with the very thought, with joy do I leap. As I eat such great candy, I feel so fine and dandy. Star Peeps, Heart Peeps, even Ghost Peeps for fall, And lest I forget the greatest Peep of all, Chick Peeps! Such a long time between the holidays of Easter […]

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Why I love Sundays: 1. I love spending an hour in church. Seeing the sun come streaming in through the stained glass windows feeds my soul. Hearing the soaring notes of the organ […]
