It’s Monday. My hyperactive thoughts are well….hyperactive still.
Three days before Christmas. I liken this time to a rough rollercoaster ride. First comes LULL *you know when your mind just goes blank, or is it just me*, then SOME TENSION BUILDING UP *some amount of panic thinking about the things in your Christmas shopping list and trying to figure [...]

I got it while going to work this morning.
A SPEEDING TICKET.
Me?
I know I should be sad, but I’ll work for the fine. *I’m sorry, hubby!*. But I think it’s an award reminding me how things have truly gone for the better (Click to read an ancient post). Perhaps, I’ve even unconsciously wished for one I know…sick, huh! Well, it’s something [...]

I got it while going to work this morning.
A SPEEDING TICKET.
Me?
I’m proud… I know I should be sad, but I’ll work hard for the fine. *I’m sorry, hubby!*. But I think it’s an award reminding me how things have truly gone for the better (Click to read an ancient post). Perhaps, I’ve even unconsciously wished for one I had this sheepish grin [...]

I blew birthday candles on my cake. It’s mah birthday! Wanna know what I wished for?
I didn’t really have that much birthday “desires”. Hubby and I usually keep a wishlist that each other can work on. As years passed by though, I found the list getting shorter and shorter. As I grow older, I just eye material [...]

The holiday stress is getting thicker and murkier by the second. Last night, I went to South Shore and attempted my very first 2008 Christmas shopping ever! But a drive to South Shore also meant: Post office, Safeway and Walgreens. And that meant: Mail, Grocery, Drugs (not that I needed any). But I had to make a [...]

You tend to hang up the phone even if it’s the real one calling.
Even if it’s the President-Elect of the United States of America.
NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!
When the President-elect called Ileana Ros-Lehtinen she hung up on him. Twice. Thinking that the call was a hoax, the Republican congresswoman greeted him the first time, saying: “You [...]

I find it really amazing how once in a while, you find yourself discovering that someone else wants the same exact quirky thing that you want: dunking almond biscotti on a cup of…NOT hot coffee…but ice cold and fizzing diet orange sunkist (my friend Flo and I); or liking diet coke not because it’s “diet” [...]

-written on Black Friday-
Thanksgiving slash Housewarming dinner at our house last night was a blast. We had family and friends come over and food became a problem — it was way too good…way too much!
APPETIZERS: Italian Salami, different cheeses and crackers, Grapes, Prosciutto and capers, Nachos and baked Jalapeno Artichoke dip, and fresh Oysters.
SALAD: Potato [...]

I always see this billboard for a fastfood on my route coming home from work. It says, “STOMACH GROWLING?…” It always nails it! I’m always hungry coming home and I bet so are the thousands of other commuters who pass that sign. And the food on the photo appears to be the only fast solution in [...]
