Earlier today I'm out and about with my kids and I see the hubbub of activities around. There are a lot of people out shopping, lots of Valentine's Day activities and stuff in the stores. people passing me with big balloons in their vehicles, some cars dressed up in ribbons and have hearts are sprayed on words..even I'm dressed in red (a red shirt), how do we get suckered into these types of things? There was a time when our holidays used to be sacred, when I say sacred I mea...
One of our adventures last year was to visit our local Science Museum. It was larger than I thought, being used to the large museums in New York. There were some pretty interesting exhibits going on, one of them being the Titanic exhibit, but I didn't get in to see that one, although my son did. We went in to see a Norman Rockwell, exhibit (Kelly you would love this!) and others that were featuring things from ages ago! It was rather interesting to see! We even sat in an...
Happy New Year my friends! I hope this blog finds you and yours in health, good spirits and looking towards a new tomorrow! Even when it doesn't seem to be, or will ever be, take my word for it, it will be! My brother and nephew are back home safely, since yesterday. My home is empty again, of visitors that is. My oldest was over for two nights, which was wonderful having her home sleeping again. I've had quite a busy season and am looking forward to blogging ...
It's Friday, best day of the week! It's a holiday on Monday, yeah! Perfect for a long unwind after the work week! I have nothing plan yet but I've got to plan something that won't cost an arm and a leg! I'm in the mood to do something different but I can't because that means spending too much money so I've got to be conservative in my thinking. What to do, what to do? So, I'm going to take the kids to see Iron Man. My son really wants to see it and ...
There they go, blowing in the wind, my inhibitions! I now understand what all those "talking heads" mean when they say the older you get the more you tend to enjoy your life. It's not that I didn't enjoy life in my teens, or twenties or thirties..good Lord no....in fact, my late teens and my twenties were some of the best years of my life. Now in my forties, let me tell you, I've let go of some hang ups, remember I said 'some') and am trying to really live my...

You read that right! I have never tried it! But it does exist! They are very popular too, according to the article I'm linking to this blog! Dan Shapely of thedailygreen.com has given it the thumbs up (to coin a cheesy phrase) and wants us, connoisseurs of beers to try it! He said it's good for the environment and it's what the beer brewers are doing now in order to be Green! Did you know that they have been brewing organic beer f...
1) Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one? 2) If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it? 3) Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with? 4) If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes? 5) If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? 6) Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person w...

Imagine my double take when I heard my son said this to me while we were getting gas yesterday. I looked towards where he was pointing and sure enough, there was someone's leg hanging out of a car alright! Then I realised that no one was being kidnapped or had been murdered...it's a trick leg for Halloween! That was rather amusing! While driving this morning guess what I saw on sticking out on someone's van roof? A hand!LOL! I think it's great that people do stuff like that and ha...
It's almost TGIF, my favorite time of the week! I missed story time with my five year old and am feeling a bit guilty. She gave me the book, I was doing something, "real quick" I said, and by the time I got to my room, where she loves to fall asleep in my bed, she was snoring away! Now I have to lift her up and lay her in her bed..soon. I'm sitting here, trying to read a couple of blogs and watch this new show on ABC "BigShots"...what a tangled web they weave! It looks interesting. I ...
