I haven’t written much for the last couple of weeks, and I’m sorry about that. But I have been working my butt off trying to get everything caught up and ahead because I knew I was going to be gone for a week. I have been stocking up mom’s freezer with easy to prepare meals,Continue reading “My guy and I are on vacation.”

Can I learn Korean?
For years Bridgette and I have said that someday, we would go to Korea together. Things have been progressing in that direction, and I’m hopeful it that might actually happen! But it’s still some time away, and I thought, maybe instead of playing stupid games on my phone, I could find an app to teachContinue reading “Can I learn Korean?”
My career path, part 3
After I quit Kmart, I took about a six-month break. I looked into selling crafts, working from home, sewing costumes, stuff like that. I slept a lot, spent time with friends, and broke up with Larry the loser. But eventually my savings started running low, and I knew it was time to find a regularContinue reading “My career path, part 3”
My Guy
I’ve mentioned my guy here and there, but I haven’t really talked about just him. We met 10 years ago – I was 46. So for anyone out there is moaning about getting too old, never gonna find a great guy, STFU. My boss’s best friend was, at the time, taking bellydance classes. She hadContinue reading “My Guy”
My Steamer Juicer
Probably 25 years ago, my mother mentioned to her boss that she liked raspberries. Her boss brought her 6 sticks, and told her to stick them in the ground, which she did. The raspberries grew like nuts, and spread along the back of our house, and then the side, and tried to creep around toContinue reading “My Steamer Juicer”
My “career” path (part 2)
The Kmart years… I applied, was hired immediately (which I thought was because I’m great, but discovered really it was because it was May, and all the college students quit in May to go home for the summer.) I started the next week as a cashier, and I never did another closing with Jabba theContinue reading “My “career” path (part 2)”
I love trying something different
To justify the fact that I am working part time, even though someone just offered me temporary additional part time work, I am trying to do at least one productive thing each afternoon. Today it was more jelly. But I couldn’t decide between raspberry or apple or grape – all of which are taking upContinue reading “I love trying something different”
My “career” path (part 1)
My first job was at the Western Steer Steakhouse. I was a freshman in college. Even back then I managed to avoid work! But really, I think my mom never pushed me to get a job in high school because she knew I was too immature for many of them. I hadn’t learned how toContinue reading “My “career” path (part 1)”
You can’t go wrong with cats!!
It’s why the internet was invented! So here are some pictures of my two lovely kitties. Don Juan is a lover boy. He’s never met a stranger. He runs to greet anyone that comes to the door. He even was excited about meeting the vet, although he didn’t stay that way long. Despite what aContinue reading “You can’t go wrong with cats!!”
The toughest part about writing a blog
For me, at least, the toughest part about writing a blog is coming up with ideas of what to write about. If something exciting or unusual happens, that’s easy – I can write about it. Or really, just about any thing – I can write about it. Food – easy. But if you wanted toContinue reading “The toughest part about writing a blog”
