Feeling very accomplished

I am feeling very accomplished right now.  I have caulked a window and trimmed it out with wood.  I have also sealed the grout on the naked lady and caulked her.  I did 6 or so loads of laundry (using my new, environmentally-friendly dryer sheets).  I cooked lunch for tomorrow...

Rest in peace Fatty

We lost our oldest and most beloved fish, Fatty, this morning.  We’re not sure yet of the cause of death, but he went downhill in a quick 24 hours.  We will surely miss him. He would do tricks at mealtimes, summersaults and rolls, just like many other types of pets. ...

Ooh, it’s that time of year again

It’s beautiful sleeping weather where we awake to a cool, crisp morning.  Such morning are completely deserving of hot cereals.  Both Sunday and Monday I breakfasted on the perfect bowl of oatmeal (with cinnamon, raisins, cranberries, pecans, honey, and a splash of cream).  Today I had cream of wheat drizzled...

Happy frickin’ Friday

It’s finally here.  Thank goodness.  This has been a trying week (at least inside my head). The weather outside is beautiful.  I am free from figuring out what to cook tonight (which is good because I hadn’t planned enough meals for the week anyway) as my mother-in-law has invited us...

I haven’t posted lately and there’s no real reason for that.  I’ve just not been inspired lately.  There are some wonderful things to talk about like the fact that Shaun and Sue are expecting another little girl, that fall is just around the corner and that’s my favorite time of...

We’re home, again

We made it in one piece, or two, depends on how you look at it.  Yes, we did check out of that wonderful room at the MGM Grand this morning, although we did not want to.  In fact, near the end of our trip home Chris said that he had...

We’re home

Yes, it’s 9:28p.m., and yes, the zoo did close at 5:00 and that is when we left NY.  I’ll post all about our day tomorrow.  Right now I’ve got to go sleep off my dinner of darvocet and warm Dr. Pepper (mmm, tasty and nutritious). Right now I have nothing...

Getting ready

We’re getting ready to leave for the Bronx Zoo in a little while.  Our original plan was to go yesterday, but thunderstorms in the Bronx forecast kept us in MA.  It’s supposed to be a beautiful day in the city today though.  I’ve got the snacks all lined up on...
