Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything and here we are in the year I turn 62. There are a lot of good things about this and some that I’d rather not think about. I’m above ground! I never really thought about this fact when I was younger, but the older I’ve gotten, the more I see that it is a gift to … Continue reading Around We Go
I’ve done all the hard work, so you just have to pick your dates and pack! Continue reading Top 10 Tips for Your Grand Circle National Park Tour
Yes, non-believers, these are pics of all the food I have cooked in quarantine. Mind you there were a lot of dinners that consisted of my all-time fave of cheese, crackers, and fruit, but, yes, I have been venturing into the kitchen a lot during the past five months. Working more than full-time was never conducive to spending hours in the kitchen making dinner so … Continue reading Hell Hath Frozen Over
Down the rabbit hole on a Wednesday (I think or is it Tuesday?)…I just finished reading John Grisham’s latest Camino Winds. And when I say read, I actually mean listened to as I’ve been checking out audio books lately, but more on that later. The story itself, like most of his novels, is fast-moving and engaging. And timely as it takes place during a hurricane … Continue reading Warriors, Come Out to Play…
I’ve spent a lot of our stay-safer-at-home lockdown time looking back instead of forward. One week, I threw out all the frayed and peeling photo albums, gathered the random photos strewn throughout the house, and put them all in chronological order in little plastic boxes that I ordered from Amazon. Now, for years to come, whoever is interested can leaf though my life in 12 … Continue reading Old School Photos & New School Video Calls
Just watched the series finale of Homeland…yes, some seasons were uneven, but I don’t care, I loved Brody and Carrie and now I love Yevgeny and Carrie! She’s coolly beautiful, they’re devilishly handsome, what’s not to like? [Spoiler Alert] But I digress, more specifically about the final season, I loved Hugh Dancy (real-life husband of Carrie) joining the cast as a crazy warmonger, using an … Continue reading All Good Things Come to an End, but Maybe it Makes Room for New Things?
How did I miss this video from 2015…maybe I was out running or rubbing age spot concealer on my face or looking for 3/4-sleeve t-shirts? Anyway, there’s a lot of truth in this hilarious video! (Apologies in advance for some of the language.) Continue reading Still F**kable After All These Years?
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff at Work by Richard Carlson, PH.D. I know you’re already judging me…wow, can’t you pick that up at the airport discount book bin? I thought this same thing when I got it from my mom about 10 holidays ago. I actually didn’t read it until about six months after receiving it when I came across it under a pile of … Continue reading Good Read for a Hectic Life
This is the excerpt for your very first post. Continue reading Early Retirement = More Time to Travel
If your four-legged family member is taking any kind of medicine, check out your nearby Costco for inexpensive prescriptions. I saved 50% off the cost of my dog’s daily prescription when I switched it from the vet to my local Costco. If you’re not a Costco member, depending on your savings, it might even make sense to pay the membership fee so you can take … Continue reading Costco Comes in Clutch
