Hangin’ out with Google

August 19, 2015

18

Do you hang out? I don’t think I ever just hung out, even when I was a teenager. Unless you count quietly reading a book all afternoon. I could never see the point of just sitting and doing nothing, even if I was in the company of good friends. Google, which will soon take over […]

Healthy eating or not?

Yet(!) another story from the life of Mr. Ken. Mr. Ken just got back from his daily walk. He yells up the stairs. On an aside here, what is it about spouses that feel compelled to carry on a long conversation when you are not in the same room with them, yet when you are […]

The things we do for love

August 5, 2015

This past Saturday, I was very busy up in my office. I was on my computer doing very important stuff. Well actually, I was perusing YouTube and looking for more Jessica Smith videos that included her adorable French bull dog, Peanut. Mr. Ken, yells up the stairs, “I need you to come outside quickly.” I […]

This is how I spent my summer vacation. As you can see from the expression on my face, this isn’t the most fun thing I have ever done. 🙂 Notice the beautiful camouflage tarp in use under the car. This is what Mr. Ken bought when we had our adventure at the tool store. Originally, […]

Kermit the Kayaker

As most of you know, I love kayaking. I love it more than Peeps or even chipmunks. There is nothing like being outside in the sunshine and enjoying nature. Being on the water is so soothing. That being said, I have to be really, really careful in the sun. I spent my teenage years baking […]

Terrapins and terabytes

I love exercise. I know that comes as a very BIG surprise to all of you. I also love getting free stuff. Free exercise stuff? I’m in heaven. I was offered some free exercise video downloads in exchange for reviewing them. I get excited when I receive the email with the links to the videos. […]

Forgiveness

I am very blessed that I have the time to get deeper into my faith. I consider it a gift to be able to do so. Even with my deeper faith, I am still reeling over the terrible shooting in Charleston South Carolina. As our pastor said in church this morning, “This was pure evil. […]

Spring has sprung in New England!

May 20, 2015

My oh my, spring has finally sprung in New England. Back in February, when we had about 8 feet of snow on the ground and a blizzard coming at us every other day, I never thought I would see trees blooming. Yet, here it is. This is our red bud tree. It is so pretty, […]

Tires or tools?

May 6, 2015

I had to get two new tires for my car. What did I do? Of course I asked Mr. Ken, the car guy, to help me. His words to me were “Toyo.” What? Is that short hand for Toyota? Nope, it’s a type of tire. Since small cars have small tires, the tires should be […]

Reflections on the workplace today

I attended one of my fun marketing seminars the other day. It was held in an office near the North End of Boston. It’s a cool place. As I was sitting in the conference room, I watched as the employees came into work. This is what I saw: Well maybe the employees weren’t quite this […]
