Eep! The work week has flown by! I am in a new position at work – new department too. Even changed floors and cubicles. After five years in one department, I am now in marketing as the Social Media Manager for a large restaurant company. I am over two major brands which have over 300 [...]

So it’s been 2 1/2 months since I got my new-to-me car and I thought I’d write up a quick comparison between the Beetle I had and the Accord I now have…
Items on the left of the list are about the Beetle – items on the right are about the Honda.

Last year Kenny decided to upgrade his Kindle to the 3G… so I got his 2G and I have been loving it! I ordered a pink leather Mivisu flip case from eBay that works perfectly. Even with the case, it has a thin profile (only 1/2″ thick!) and the flip design lets it stand up [...]

Our pups Pascal & Rosie love dog parks. We brought them as soon as we could to get them socialized. I know dog parks aren’t for every dog owner but I think some of the issues people have is how the dog owners behave when they go to a dog park…so here are my observations:

Over the past years I have collected (in my mind) random ideas that I would implement if I were president. OK, I know legally the president couldn’t put many of these into affect but you get my drift…
So if I were president…

It has made me more contemplative than usual though. He was only 39, 6 months younger than my [...]

So back in late November Kenny decided to switch to AT&T U-verse since it was finally available in our area. A month later we switched back to Comcast. I know, sounds crazy, right? After all the U-verse hoopla and knowing many satisfied friends who rave about their U-verse, we were simply underwhelmed with the service [...]

As we finish November and slowly recover from eating all that turkey last week, I’d like to post a few things for which I am thankful…
> Kenny – What can I say? He is an amazingly patient and supportive husband who doesn’t baby me and let me get away with too many things. He was [...]

My favorite childhood author, Madeleine L’Engle, passed away earlier this month. I read her Time Quartet when I was in late elementary/early middle school and devoured several more of her books that were not in the series. I had Kenny buy me the series again a couple of years but they had been collecting [...]
