Spending Dough on Sugar

I lack eloquence in my ability to adequately express emotion and gratitude. What I do not lack, however, is an overwhelming appreciation to all of you for taking the time to hear me out and offer your words of encouragement, support and understanding. You sure know how to help lay the body blues at bay! [...]

A Simple Weekend

The weekend has come to a closer. Where’d it go?! Oh I know. It went to work, shopping, eating and lazing. This was a pretty tame one for me. Didn’t mind at all though! I really appreciated the tameness of just doing what I felt like after spending the last couple [...]

The Week After Turkey

This week has been a fly by! TGIF tomorrow already, I can hardly believe it. I guess that packed turkey extended weekend really helped to shorten this week up, not that I’m complaining about it. My weekend begins as of the end of my only Friday class at 12:30 tomorrow. Woop.
What’s been going down [...]

Welcome Back Laptop

A few months ago I always used my laptop for picture uploading and blogging. My laptop uses Windows Vista. Then my laptop stopped working. I took it in to get repaired. In the meantime I was using our non-Vista PC.
Several weeks later I got my laptop back. I continued, instead, [...]

A Grand Discovery and a Tribute to Cereal and Vegetables

We interrupt this post with an important News FLASH —-
The Peanut Butter Heavens have touched down in my city! I’ve relished in the joys of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and White Chocolate Wonderful that I happily discovered in the past at my local grocery store, but never did I think I would [...]

The Sandwich of Dreams

I ate the best sandwich at lunch today. Usually lunch is packed and eaten at work but we decided to go out for lunch today so we went down the road to a gourmet food shop and did Build Your Own Gourmet Sandwiches. Oh yes.
A Reenactment

I don’t have a picture of my actual [...]
