Thanks for all the comments, emails, texts, instant messages on Facebook and comments on Instagram (am I on social media much?!) regarding yesterday’s post.  I thought back to our wedding day, and other anniversaries and while he’s not here, it is still my anniversary, so I decided that Hannah and I would treat yo self to winter pedicures last night.  We don’t normally do pedicures...

Fifteen years ago I married my best friend.   We’d only known each other six months, but by then we’d already been living together for five months.  We just knew.  I am sure everyone around us wondered what the hell we were doing.  We didn’t care.  We were happy. I’d only met Tony’s parents once before we got married because they had already retired to Florida. ...

I had such a fun weekend.  I volunteered to watch my friend Alison and Cameron’s kids for 24 hours over the weekend.  Big G is 7 and Baby G is 3.  I knew it would be fun, but I forgot how much you have to pay attention to kids this little!  I picked them up at 10:30 on Saturday and dropped them off at 10:00...

My daughter in law loves snowmen as much as I do.  Every morning for about the last 10 days I’ve texted her pics of me drinking my morning coffee at work drinking out of a snowman mug.  It’s killing her that I have so many.  Seriously, I think I could go the whole month drinking out of a difference snowman mug every day. She texted...

This is going to be a super quick post.  Hannah, Jacob and I went out to dinner last night, and this morning I have the second of six doctors appointments to see if I am a candidate for a year long diabetes clinical trial.  Thank goodness I can type fast! With temps in the mid-40s when I woke up I knew I couldn’t hit the...

Another whirlwind weekend is in the books.  I don’t know if it’s just the time of year, but the days keep going by so fast.  Friday was my office luncheon, and I am usually in charge of the menu, location, etc.  So I always have a touch of nervousness when the day of the event comes around  because I want to make sure that I...

I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and a stuffy head.  I haven’t gotten a flu shot yet – that was one of the things Tony and I did together and I mostly got mine so that he would get one, and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.  I need to do that this weekend.  My first thought on getting up was...

In the last few days I’ve been feeling like my old self again.  I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’ve lived a year without Tony that I know that I can go on without him, my day spent in Chicago doing something I wanted, or just my overall feeling of being happy again.  It’s almost as if I’ve been living in a...

Saturday I had plans to meet my sister and her daughter downtown for Tasting Table in Fulton Market.   I knew my niece Claire had her placement test for high school (how did she get that old already?!) so I had some time to kill before meeting up with them.  Taking the train downtown was the best idea ever.  It’s an hour and 15 minute ride...

Thanks for all your kind words about my post yesterday.  I cried yesterday morning when I was writing the post, but I surprisingly was okay the rest of the day.  I kept remembering the good times, how he used to make me laugh and it brought a smile to my face instead of tears.  And for some reason now that the first year without Tony...
