My House is Just Too Quiet
March 21st, 2009 — life, music, the boys, the hubby
A couple weeks back, my favorite radio station changed format. They went from non-sucky, non-screaming, totally hillarious talk radio and turned into yet another crappy ass, Top 40 station. Around that time, I moved my radio from where it was in the kitchen, around to the otherside of the apartment – I figured I wouldn’t [...]
It’s the Living in Limbo that Gets to Me
March 17th, 2009 — life, the hubby
Off hand, I don’t recall if I mentioned it here or not, but I applied for a part-time teaching gig. It was totally up my alley using all my past life skills: teaching, working with the developmentally disabled and computer and social media skills. I had the interview on Friday and accepted it later that [...]
Valentine’s Day Schmalentine’s Day
February 16th, 2009 — eat & drink, life lessons, love, the hubby
I meant to write this post on Saturday, you know, Valentine’s Day, but um…well, I didn’t. Well, then I mean to write it on Sunday and well, that didn’t happen either. Then I came into the office about two hours ago saying to my husband “I’m going to blog now” and well, found other things [...]
The Shopping Moratorium Has Ended

Well, not really. But kinda. Once we realized that the fraudulent charges were dropped, it eased things up a bit. Not that I’m going to head out to pick up that new $300 purse (heck, I’m turning down a trip to the outlets this weekend), but I have done a little [...]
It’s Christmas Eve and I Just Got Back From the Grocery Store
December 24th, 2008 — eat & drink, family, life, the hubby
And yes, it was pure insanity. Luckily, I prepared myself for the grumpy crowds and just soared above in my bliss. Well okay, it might not have been bliss per se, but it was definitely not bah humbuggedness. I often wonder who is crazy enough to do their holiday food shopping the day before. Now [...]
Making the Christmas Cookies
December 13th, 2008 — eat & drink, the hubby
Will someone kindly tell my cat (and his partner in crime, the dog) that cats do not like raw chocolate chip cookie dough? Please. He’s driving me nuts. Everything I get my hands in the batter to drop the cookies, he comes running into the kitchen meowing up a storm (all while the dog is [...]
‘Tis the Season For Holiday Parties
December 12th, 2008 — eat & drink, music, the hubby
I never really got to experience the mythical Holiday Office Party. When I was a young’un, I worked in retail and well, that’s the busiest time of the year so no holiday party for you! When I was a teacher, the official holiday party was held during the school day, in the library – not [...]
I’m Done Driving in Ireland
November 11th, 2008 — the hubby, travel
Seriously. We got lost again in Dublin. We got lost trying to find our way to Temple Bar, the area where our hotel was. We got stuck in some major rush hour traffic (one roundabout took nearly 20 minutes itself – the first time we went through and yes, that means we [...]
No Castles or Forts Yet to be Seen
November 10th, 2008 — the hubby, travel
Well, that’s not entirely honest. We did see a castle, or at least the outline of a castle in the dark of the rainy, evening sky as we drove to Galway. We were also near a castle or two in Killarney – again, while in the rain, as evening was quickly approaching. I do have [...]
Enjoying a Cuppa in Kinsale
November 7th, 2008 — photos, the hubby, travel
We just finished our first Irish breakfast. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast, so eggs and meats doesn’t really do all that much for me. Instead, I’m inhaling the pot of tea. Our hostess just left for an appointment but will be back shortly to send us on our way to Middleton (for whisky) [...]
