Thanks for the “get well” wishes. I’m not feeling a whole lot better but do feel better in the mornings than in the afternoons. I slept almost all day yesterday.
The Chamber dinner was a lot of fun in that (1) we did not win the TV (2) the food was really [...]

I feel terrible! Ok . . if I have your sympathy, I feel better!
Just a cold, runny nose, sore throat - I’ll probably survive. To make matters worse, Vince is working on our taxes. The thought of running away from home always enters my mind when he [...]

Where did this week go? Where did this month go? I didn’t accomplish a darned thing this week. I cooked, did laundry, bought groceries . . that kind of stuff but I probably didn’t spend an hour sewing/quilting/knitting.

Vince surprised the heck out of me with roses and gifts for Valentine’s Day. He doesn’t usually do flowers or gifts.
He’s so practical though! I love (as in . . could eat the whole thing by myself) this Haagen-Dazs Pineapple Coconut ice cream. Whether I could find it here was a [...]

Recently I discussed my conversation with an anti-Wal-Mart shopper. Tonight Vince was reading the Business Week magazine and came across this article regarding HP’s practices. While I truly don’t spend a lot of time on these types of issues and I don’t want my blog devoted to them, I thought the article was [...]

I have my menus and recipes posted over on another blog but these are some recipes I’ve made recently that are just so yummy, I wanted to bring them some special attention. If you haven’t tried some of these ingredients . . just jump right out of that box and do it! I’m [...]
