Bitten…By the Vampire Bug

When it comes to books I’m not the first one to jump on the “everyone is reading it bandwagon.”   I’ll admit I did with the Harry Potter books, but it was more because I had easy access to them at the library where I worked so I did, and was instantly hooked.  One reason I [...]

Yeah!!!

My posts of late have all been happy ones!  Yeah!  I finished our taxes last night and they have been accepted by both the feds and state people already.  It’s the first time we’ve e-filed, so I’m hoping it will be a good experience for us, overall.  Fingers crossed.   We are getting quite a bit [...]

Reading, Muffins and Snow

I didn’t sleep well last night.  I just couldn’t turn off my mind and I had indigestion from the meatball subs we had for dinner.  I ended up getting out of bed, going downstairs and reading until 1:30 in the morning so I didn’t keep tossing and turning and keeping Darling Hubby up like I [...]

Crazy Weather We’re Having

Rain and snow and cold in October!  That’s just not right.  So much for all this “global warming,” right?  Yesterday it rained and rained all morning (my backyard was a lake) and by afternoon it was raining and snowing at the same time.  It was strange.  The flakes were big puffy ones, too.  I’d kinda [...]

Food For Friday 10/13-10/17 & 10/20-10/24

I’m trying to plan out my menu for the next 2 weeks and I’m have a lot of trouble coming up with ideas.  There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of inexpensive food items on sale so it’s either going to be another expensive grocery week or a cheap menu using stuff from [...]

A Couple Weeks Worth

I’ve been in a blogging funk lately.  I have a ton to say, but just haven’t been able to sit down and write it all out.  Let me see…where to begin…
I think we are potty trained…officially.   A couple weeks ago Bug earned his jack hammer for pooping on the potty 10 times.  The last 2 [...]

Not Feelin’ It Today

I think I’ve fallen into a funk today.  It’s Thursday and our game night.  However, I’m just not feeling it today.  One member isn’t coming (we knew this 2 weeks ago) and I thought we agreed to cancel, but I guess I was wrong.  Then everyone wants to make changes to the party cause things [...]

One Man’s Trash

Darling Hubby should be back soon from picking up his friend at the airport and I’m watching some recorded All My Children episodes from the past week. I want to work on the crochet project for Darling Hubby (I should be working on it), but I don’t think I have the attention span to [...]

I’m Dyeing

Don’t worry….I said DYEING…not dying… (Thanks Darling Hubby for correcting my almost insensitive typographical error)…So anyway, if you’ve ever dyed (i.e colored) your hair, you know all about the wait…that’s where I am now.  Currently sitting Indian style on my bed, sans glasses (which I REALLY NEED to see) with my hair covered in dark [...]

What’s in a Middle Name?

I was tagged by my good friend Annie on this middle name tag, so here goes.
1) You must post these rules on your blog before you answer the questions.
2) You need to list one fact about yourself using each letter of your MIDDLE name. If you don’t have a middle name use your maiden name [...]
