Benefits open enrollment

By | September 29, 2010

My clinic sent me a reminder for a vitamin D count blood test.  I have to call the clinic to set the appointment up.  I think I will pass on that.  Even though I am done paying that clinic/hospital bill last month, I have enough of visiting doctors for this year….knock on wood.  During my [...]

The grumpy dog

By | September 29, 2010

That’s the grumpy boy, Ranger. We hardly ever see him “smile” like Cooper or Chase.  The only time he will ever “smile” is when we get home from work or just about anywhere and on his walks.  The rest of the time, he looks just like that picture.   He reminds me of a Big Boss [...]

The movie “Inception”

By | September 27, 2010

Last Thursday, DB and I went for the movie “Inception”. I don’t know whether I like it or hate it. I definitely will not watch it again, that’s for sure. The earlier part of the movie almost put me to sleep and certainly put DB to sleep. The part that got interesting was when those [...]

By | November 17, 2009

I have been following The Pioneer Woman’s (PW) blog since Che-Cheh mentioned it some time ago, a year now, I think?  Tried a few of her desserts, the cakes to be more specific, some mains and a couple of appetizers.    They are good, too damn good.  And if you follow PW’s blog, she has recently [...]
