Never, ever in my life did I picture me to be where I am now.  A few weeks back, a beautiful kitten emerged from my basement.  I taught Malenky all he needed to know.  I fed him with a bottle and a syringe.  I taught him how to poop and how to pee.  I introduced […]

It has been so busy here in Scranton – and all around us.  I just returned from a week of House Sitting and Pet Sitting for my son and daughter-in-law.  In addition to the kitten we found in our basement and promptly took into our home (and who has fit in purrrfectly here), his three […]

Since coming back to life, online…so to speak, much has happened…the Royal Baby is a BOY…congrats to Meghan and Harry, that baby is going to grow up to be beautiful! Currently I am watching the Colorado Avalanche battle the Sharks.  While I have no hatred or whatever towards San Jose, having  (luckily) lived in God’s […]

I am back.  I have been gone for quite some time.  As they say, life has gotten in the way and I have been more than overwhelmed.  Am I ready to be back in the swing of things?  Perhaps, yes.  Maybe.  I don’t know. I was lucky to have attended my FIFTEENTH Wrestlemania, and as […]

  Lately, I have…I have felt the overwhelming desire to save.  To run.  To get my money in a safe place (whatever that is)…so…I can pay my bills, and to continue life…as we (or I) know it. I have not worked consistently since the Fall of 2017.  Considering this, I think for the most part […]

Hi there!  So much has been happening with me, with my family.  Some good, some not so good.  But I try – I try to focus on the positive.  It isn’t always easy, but it’s what I need to do at times. Money and finances – at this time, it’s been…a struggle.  But with the […]

It all started in New York City.  March of 2004.  And it continued to Chicago.  And then Detroit.  After that, Orlando.  Then came Houston and Phoenix.  Atlanta and Miami followed.  New York/New Jersey, New Orleans and San Francisco.  Followed by Dallas, Orlando again and New Orleans again.  This year, we are back to New York/New […]

This week has been a trying time for our family.  A few things have gone on that made me want to throw my hands up, running away while screaming “leave me alone, please.”  We will get through it all, in fact at this moment things are calming down.  Or at least are starting to.  But […]

    You can’t have a fun and proper gathering without the right items.  With the proper planning, you can be assured you will always have the supplies to make your party or get together fun, and coordinated at the same time. Always be on the lookout for reduced price paper goods.  When you are […]

A good party and/or a fun gathering needs some drinks.  Not necessarily alcoholic, yet you do need to keep your guests hydrated with all the good food you are serving.  What you are offering does not have to be fancy, expensive or anything like that.  Simple is always ok. What I always have on hand […]
