We are in the middle of moving. Only having been where we are for a little over two years, we didn’t think we would leave so soon. But an opportunity presented itself that we just couldn’t turn down, so we are on the road. It’s a short road – we are moving only two miles …

When the holidays are over…
I know what you’re thinking – holidays over? They have barely just begun! I do love this time of year, the hustle and bustle, the happy smiles despite stressful times. As much as I enjoy the holidays, when they end I do breathe a little sigh of relief. Then time passes, and I miss the …
Be thankful…
I belong to a lot of groups, pages and lists on Facebook. One of the groups recently had a 26-day long gratitude posting – each day members were to post what they were grateful for, corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. I only found out about this challenge when it was more than half …
Ancient Chinese Secret…
By using that title, I truly am dating and aging myself. For those of you who are young, that was a line from a famous commercial for a detergent in the 1970s. But I digress. Lately my coworker and I have had a fairly regular routine of ordering Chinese takeout – we have it delivered …
Frustration – in every way!
We are living in frustrating and annoying times. Recently, at work we had one of the most frustrating days EVER. I won’t get into too many of the details, but let’s just say we had a patient who had requested to make many phone calls. And when I say many, that is exactly what …

Anyone who knows me knows that I like to save money. Also, anyone who knows me also knows that I like to buy a lot of products. I have used many strategies over the years to acquire a large collection of all kinds of cosmetics. I also have tips and ideas that will stretch …
Time to be a little silly…
These have been some of the hardest months to deal with in a very long time. Sickness and civil unrest are not fun topics. There have been too many sad and unfortunate stories being reported on in the news. One day I was reading an article online, and it gave a listing of supposed …
“…Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man…”
“…tryin’ to make a living and doing the best I can…” These are crazy times, for sure. What is going on right now is something we’ve never seen before, nor did we ever think we would see. Normally, I am a fairly positive person, and I try to see the good in people, things, in …
Easy Peasy Snack Time
I am a snacker. I always have been and I always will be. I have had a bedtime snack each night for as long as I can remember, and I don’t see that ending anytime soon. Besides night time, I snack all day – I pretty much graze. Like a cow. I like snacks to …
