SPRING!!! PLEASE!!! ...
A few months ago I met up with a friend. I wasn’t expecting to leave with another. But I was unexpectedly given this amazing plant, Gordon Frederick. I wasn’t actively searching for a plant or thinking one would enter my life. But I was pleasantly surprised and grateful for the addition to my world.Gordon Frederick brought great joy to my life many days....
It’s been 8 weeks since I’ve traveled out of town for a trip long enough that requires packing an overnight bag.Tonight I’m hitting the road. Heading to Muskegon for the weekend. I still need to throw my stuff together (I’m always a last minute packer). Nothing big planned. It would be nice if the weather was decent enough to go for a walk...
Am I the only one out there who still needs to do their taxes?. . . Am I the only one out there who still needs to do their taxes?. . . ...
I have a pretty severe obsession with 2 things: pizza and pancakes. For as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed those 2 things. I am particularly fond of Perkin's pancakes. They're so good I can enjoy them even without any syrup. Most other pancakes just aren't complete without the syrup. It makes me wonder what they put in their pancakes...
New Question:Who's up at 4:00?... ...
The other day I was meeting someone at a cafe downtown. I was early and was wandering around outside in the relatively "warm" weather when I saw this and thought, "Oh you are SO getting your picture taken wearing jeans like THAT, SIR!"Yes, it was a man. In skinny jeans. REALLY skinny jeans. Guys, could you pull this look off? Do you think...
Roomie moved out March 1 to get married and picked up the remainder of her stuff last night.The bedroom is empty. What will I do with it? So many options! What are YOUR suggestions?!? ...
Tuesday 5:30 AM Laying in bed basically twiddling my thumbs 5:45 I accept the fact that I'm awake I'm dead tired and ticked off that I'm wide awake I start praying for people who come to mind People who are walking in extreme valleys right now I can't rest Who's up at this time? 6:00 I start writing blogs in my head and...
Ice cream is not a staple for me, unlike other people I know. But when I see THIS on sale for $3.00 (thank you, Super Target!), I can't pass it up! ...
Today I worked out in the morning – something I haven’t done for a long time. I forgot how chatty the morning crowd is. I am there to work out, NOT socialize. Unlike most of the morning crowd. It’s seriously as if these women have nothing better to do. They’re not on their way to work. Their husbands support them. They’re just out...
Yesterday with my 2:21 work dismissal, I was unexpectedly blessed with free time. Since I hadn't even planned to be in the area, there really wasn't that much that I wanted to do. I had this afternoon off, and I didn't know what to do with it.I wandered around the library for awhile, picked up a couple books. I was hoping for a...
Two Easter treats I like to splurge on every year. The Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs seem to taste so much better than the regular peanut butter cups (then again I don't really eat those much, so I'm probably just making that up).And of course the classic Cadbury Creme Eggs. Don't mess with the caramel or orange. Just give me the original! And, is...
Since the great Spring Blizzard of the Midwest forced me to cancel my plans of visiting my soon to be married friend, Velvet, I ended up going in to work today. I figured I can definitely save the vacation day for later, namely June.We got a company wide email from the President about 2:20 saying Easter weekend was to commence immediately and we...
About an hour ago I got a call from a concerned friend alerting me of tomorrow's weather forecast. I researched the forecast for my entire 8 hour route, and it is not looking good.Snow accumulating 6 to 10 inches, one inch per hour, sleet, strong winds, hazardous to near impossible driving conditions. Pretty much a blizzard that I would be driving into all...

If you know me at all, you know that I do not like winter. Living on the island of Okinawa and then in Southern California, I quickly got used to warmer weather. Coming back to the MidWest to face long, hard winters is not my idea of fun. Every winter seems worse than the year before.Today is officially the start of spring. But...
Just a friendly reminder that the Shamrock Shake Season is almost over. I know many of you have been talking about it. Make sure you get it before they're gone! Or you'll have to wait until next year!I plan to enjoy one tomorrow at some point of my 8 hour drive. Yum! Something to look forward to! ...
