Weekend with Friends

Weekend with Friends
I was trying to think last night when the last time Tony and I went out and saw any of his friends.  It was the couple I was meeting on Friday nights sons wedding, which was July 14. The grooms Dad (second to left) is Tony oldest friend.  They have known each other since high school, watched their kids grow up and get married.  Tony...

This is a Plus Size Model?

This is a Plus Size Model?
My co-worker yesterday asked me if I had seen who is the next model to be featured on Sports Illustrated’s annual swim suit cover.  I said no, and she said “if this is a plus size model, we are fucked.” Yep, she’s considered “plus size” because she’s a size 12.  Well, she is 6.2” tall and weighs 163 pounds.  So she weighs 9 pounds less...

I would love to do the race along...

I didn’t...

9 Weeks

9 Weeks
I realized this morning that Tony has been gone nine weeks already.  It’s funny because when I look back on when our relationship started back in 2000, we met in May of 2000, basically moved in together the middle of June about 3 weeks after we met, and got married six months after our first phone conversation after he found me online at love@aol (which...

What Are You Making Now?

What Are You Making Now?
Hannah is used to me spending hours in the kitchen. Normally cleaning up while I make a mess and typically putting things away already that I haven’t even used.  Sunday we had “blizzard” conditions so I had to post-pone a lunch and thrifting with my Mom and SIL.  Because I thought I would be gone a lot yesterday, I did my grocery shopping on Saturday,...
