Still Breathing

Hi and Happy New Year.  I wont bore you with all of the details of the last few months.  Suffice it to say all is well and good.  My kids are growing like kudzu.  Tom and I are
in some kind of great/bizarro land where we  communicate very well and see eye to eye on just [...]

When Kid’s Scare You

The other day Eamon found a prayer book in the bathroom magazine rack.
Don’t judge.  Some people use that time to read “Real Simple” and some people don’t.  He brought it to me.
E – “Mom, is this Jesus?”  Referring to picture on the front, which is the Sacred Heart one with the big human heart.  Not [...]

I know, I know. Hiatus

I haven’t updated in a L O N G time.  What can I say?  It’s hot.  But all is well and good with me and my family.    Trips to the beach, the state fair and my parents pool have been filling our weekends.   it never ceases to amaze me how quickly kids advance in their [...]

Pick a card. Any card.

So what do you want to hear about?  That not losing weight last week put me in a huge funk?  Or that I took Tim Russert’s death way too hard for someone who just watched him on sound bites and an occasional Sunday morning?  Or maybe the one about how we feel like all we [...]

WW Week 11, or 12, or something, and a big laugh

My Vacation Home

So I know I said I was working on something exciting, and no sooner had I posted it then I wanted to print all kinds of retractions.  Because while it is very exciting for Moi, it may seem sort of “meh” to you. 
I am finally taking my passion for food and cooking and turning it into [...]

Not That There Is Anything Wrong With It

Both where I live and where I work, we are smack in the middle of the Delaware River watershed. All around us there are various marshes, rivers and streams that empty into the not so distant Ocean. When I lie in bed on a warm, breezy night, I can smell the Bay and the earthy, [...]

Hi, I’m New Here and I Whine A Lot

Gaaaahhh!  I moved over here to WordPress and I feel like I am lost. 
Why dont the changes I make to the format show up?  I have three Widgets in my left sidebar, but can you see any of them??  Noooooooooo!!
Someone wants my RSS.  What is that?  Where do I find it, and what do I [...]

WW Week Four Update – Bringing My Sexy Back

Five Point Six Pounds lost this Week!!!!   Woooo HOOOOO! 
I humbly apologize for all of my whining last week about only losing one pound. 
Official grand total – 13 pounds. 
 

Who Moved My Cheese? And some dirt. The muddy kind.

So thanks for coming over and finding me here.  I am still getting used to the feel of this place and it may take me a few days to unpack the boxes and figure out where everything goes.  Like my dusty old Blogroll and how to put the Blogher ads back in. 
Becky asked me why [...]
