Son has a friend for an overnight & husband brought home cheesesteaks and wings from the store for their dinner, bless him. (I only ate three small wings, BTW.) So, that leaves me and a tuna steak I bought yesterday. I’ve heard they dye those things red, but my mouth is watering for it anyway. [...]

Dear MIL is hosting Thanksgiving, bless her heart. I’m bringing an appetizer, the pies and Challah bread (I know it’s considered more of an Easter bread, but it’s so darn good, I’m making it anyway). I’m also going to make for the first time… Ta-Da! Sweet Potato Casserole. I bought three pounds of yams today [...]

Dog is hang-dog because we got his invisible fence fixed today. I tried to explain to him that we like our pets three dimensional, not flat (from the road). This means to take him on walks out in the woods, I will have to turn fence off, put him in the car and drive ten [...]

I set off down the wooded path and I heard a rustling: look up to see our dog who had crossed over his invisible fence boundary and was joining me. Monday I must call fence people to come and fix the break. In the meantime, Shadow and I ventured far afield. Funny how all my [...]

On the mornings you can sleep in, you wake up way easier than the mornings the alarm is set?
My eyes popped open at 5:30am. I tried to go back to sleep, but gave up and got up. This is a sign of old age, I just know it! My grandparents lived in an inlaw-suite attached [...]

Was delighted to attend a few of son’s classes. I especially like his Language Arts class. The seventh grade L.A. classes are divided into three groups: Advanced, Average and Slower than average (I’m sure they have different labels for them than mine!). Son is in advanced, and his class is using a new curriculum this year: instead [...]

Yep, a wee blanket of snow quietly appeared over night.
Not enough to raise hopes that school would be delayed. Just one of those early soft whispers of what is to come. DH HATES snow, so I have to subdue my glee. He sees only headaches at work: parking lot plowed, sidewalks cleared, delivery driver woes…

(Sing to Simon & Garfunkels Sound of Silence)
Hello oatmeal, my old friend.
I’ve come to eat you once again,
Because my weight was slowly creeping,
Leaving pudge while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain.
Was scary.
Within the bowl of oatmeal.
Blew the dust off a box of oatmeal and had that for breakfast this morning. [...]

I was scrolling through the “ICanHasCheezeburger” funny kitty site when I saw this captioned picture…

T’was many a year ago when we would go down to South Street (where all the hippies meet) in Philly to watch the 12 o’clock showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. What an event!
I’m in the process of [...]

(Actually, by the pounding of my sinuses, I can tell)… something wicked this way comes.
Dang! I looked at a national weather map here of the U.S. and see a huge front moving in from the west. Let’s see a show of hands for how many of you are suffering from sinus pressure right now?
I fully [...]
