I had my office Christmas party last night, so I got home late, and then was having computer problems this morning – my pics just would not download for some reason, and well, time ran out – turns out if I miss my 7:42 train, I’d have to wait a full hour for the next one! I’ll be back tomorrow with a post, but just...

It’s been crazy busy at work, which I love.  But yesterday I wore long johns under my pants because my train station doesn’t have warming booths, you just stand on the platform.  It worked perfectly, I wasn’t cold at all waiting for the train.  Only problem was that I got to work and hit the ground running, and wasn’t able to take my long johns...

UPDATE!  I had to update the photography for these Homemade Snickers Bars since my daughter Hannah was able to take some photos during the day – you can see how much better these cut once they were cold from the fridge – thanks for your photography skills Hannah!   You can find the detailed recipe here. . . . Morning!  This is going to be...

Tony used to not believe me when I told him that if I looked at a picture of my kindergarten class, I could name every single person in that picture, no matter that it was 43 years ago that I was in Kindergarten.  It helps that I went to the same grade school, junior high, and high school with the same group of kids.  The...

It’s getting cold outside.  Really cold.  The only downside from having a super mild fall, is having 70 degree weather just a few weeks ago, to this: It was another super busy day at work.  Almost too busy.  I have to remember that I am only one person and can’t agree to everyone that I’ll get their stuff done, then quickly prioritized my work and...

It was a long day yesterday, but I am not really sure that I ever mentioned that the job I am working at is Temp to Perm.  Meaning, if I work out, the firm will eventually hire me, otherwise if they don’t, my contract expires in 90 days and everyone goes their separate ways and that’s that. First of all, I am so happy at...

It was another busy day at work – that makes me very happy!  Nothing worse than keep looking at the clock to see how long you have until it’s quitting time.  Usually I’ll just glance up and realize – wow, it’s already 11:45!  My breakfast turned out kinda gross – whatever flour tortillas I had literally fell to pieces right when I cut it, and...

Thank you to everyone who sent me a comment on my last post, or sent me a text or instant message on Facebook.  I felt all the virtual hugs on the second Anniversary of Tony’s passing, and it’s because of all of you that I was able to get through the day.  That, and I was actually super busy at work on Friday.  My boss...

I’ve obviously thought about this post for a while, but decided to write it off the cuff.  I vividly remember the night before Tony died.  For some reason I didn’t want anyone with me.  I told my Mom, my brother and his family, my parents in law, Hannah and Jacob to all go home – get some rest.  The hospice nurse had told me that...

I am somehow managing to put stuff together to eat with what we have on hand.  Once I get past Wednesday without having to make a trip to the grocery store for a full grocery shop, it becomes a game to see how long I can actually go.  I just worry about myself, not the kadults.  They can fend for themselves if they don’t want...
