Change your schedule and change your life

March 18, 2015

They say, whoever “they” are, that changing your environment can do wonders for your psyche and creativity. While I wish I could be sitting on a nice sunny beach with Mr. Ken, this is not possible right now. I have been staying over my mother’s house, helping her out since she fell. It was kind […]

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 […]

December 10, 2014

Round 1 of Nancy vs. Smartphone has ended. It’s a tie. Here’s the story. 1. The delivery. Ever since I ordered my new toy smartphone, I have been running to the window, anxiously waiting for the UPS guy to deliver the package. I see a UPS truck come down the street – hurray! But it […]

The smartphone saga

December 3, 2014

to I have decided to enter the 21st century and buy a smart phone. I really, really wanted the new and super cool iPhone 6, but my cheapness, er common sense, prevailed. Before this, I had a TracFone, which isn’t fun or sexy, but it is dirt cheap and does the trick. After […]
