When my co-worker J’s, mom passed away, I had to coordinate what to get for her. My other coworker said to get flowers but S, another lady said J and family are Jewish. Usually for funerals plant gifts are sent, not flowers. I am glad I waited a day before I started ordering flowers. We [...]
The shopping for my trip is done and I’m all set to go. I do wanted to go to Macy’s but I ran out of time. There is not much to get at Macy’s but it’s more for window shopping, just to join the Black Friday crowd. Although I want to get a new mattress [...]
I have to admit I never liked conference calls before. During the 3rd and the rest of the 4th quaters i have to be on conference calls twice a week. Now that the company has changed the service to internet conference calls it is so much easier and fast to connect to the other parties. [...]
I am most surprised to receive an invitation via email from my coworker to her baby shower. We used to work together 11 years ago but she moved on to a different area a year later. We have not talked to each other for quite a while and that is why I said I’m surprise [...]
R, my friend who is now in Texas, called me telling me she had breast cancer 5 years ago. Yesterday we caught up again and this time round it is not her but her hubby, G, who is going for a laser treatment for back pain. They are not young anymore, and by the way, [...]
The weather is at a decent temperature of 30′s and 40′s fahrenheit. It is perfect sleeping weather and is saving a lot on the heating bill. I have the temperature in the house set at 65 and and we go to bed it is set at 63. DB initially was complaining it was too cold [...]
The holiday mood is buzzing around – in the office and every where I go. A friend from the retreat I went to in August (EL her name) invited me to her cabin in Buffalo, MN. It’s probably around 50 minutes drive or more from where I am. I seriously do not know but I [...]
I’m definitely done shopping for my upcoming trip. I’m broke!!! I wanted to get a funny t-shirt for my friend, I had to say, “next time”. I’m suppose to go home with very little gifts but looking at the stuff in the corner of the walk-in closet is scary. My trip home will only focus [...]
When I see the town home community center wraps up for the summer where the pools are cover with pool covers, the deck chairs and tables put away, I think of the kid who comes over to chat with me every time I’m outside with the two older dogs….back in spring and summer. I should [...]
It’s funny how my conversations with my co-worker, M, always take place in the bathroom. We were once cube neighbors till she moved to a different area and we don’t see each other very often. It was such fun times when we were next to each other…all the laughs and stories she tells me. I’m [...]
Time is really flying by so quickly. It’s already mid November, it’s the holiday season, again!! Shopping goers packing the malls. I was at the big mall last Saturday which of course filled with weekend shoppers. I have to say not all shops are busy. Sometimes I do wonder how these shops that are not [...]
I was invited to an engagement reception of a church member. It is on this weekend. I wanted to go since the first and last engagement I ever attended was my own eons ago!! The weird thing is the invite came kind of last minute and how much that couple has been talking about buying [...]
This fall, the weather is perfect with temperatures in the upper forties to the lower fifties. I love it. Love it because it definitely saves us a ton of gas money and electric, too. The man wants it warmer in the house but hey, I think it’s perfect in the house with the temperature set [...]
Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker We didn’t know what we were doing when we started our food truck – all we knew was that we made some mean Mexican foodand we wanted to share it with everyone else in the world. But you know, for us there’s something soulful about cooking for [...]
