Banana Plants – Literally!

My husband commutes to the Cape from NY every weekend. When he arrives on Friday night, I hold the door open while he brings in his gear. Last night he went back out to his truck after bringing in the last suitcase. He came to the door with a six foot potted banana plant. "Surprise!", . . . → Read More: Banana Plants – Literally!

Chiclets, Widgets, & Whatsits

My Ultimate Blog Challenge certainly is living up to its word. Since I’ve written everyday for two years now, it isn’t posting that’s giving me a run for my money. First I had to figure out how to post to the challenge sight. That took all morning yesterday. This morning presented new challenges of its . . . → Read More: Chiclets, Widgets, & Whatsits

October 1. Let’s Go!

This morning as soon as I woke up, I knew the first decision I’d have to make was to go to yoga at 9:30 am or 6 pm. When I opened up my phone and saw October 1, it was like a switch flipped. I hopped out of bed knowing it was going to be . . . → Read More: October 1. Let’s Go!

The Clock Tics

Tonight is filled with more “Joie de vivre!”. My husband and I went to the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset to see the Creedence Clearwater Revisited show.

Jason Mraz, Bikram, & Mockingjay

Well, that just about covers it all, doesn’t it? After writing that title I had to laugh at the amazing numbers of categories I had to check for this blog. The combination is a bit weird, but who am I to question when the universe moves and speaks?

The Sleep Timer Strikes Again

Once again I forgot to set the sleep timer and was awakened by voices in the distance at 6am. This time it was Alan Jackson singing “Remember When”. When that song was popular, years ago, on the country music charts, it was also popular with my husband and me. Laying there, reluctant to put my . . . → Read More: The Sleep Timer Strikes Again

Clarice! Wow!

Most people who know me know that I am well-acquainted with daytime TV, from the morning news, right on through the afternoon talk shows. They yammer away in the background as I go about my business of blogging, editing my book, researching my book, or practicing my daily pencil drawing exercises. Today I was irritated . . . → Read More: Clarice! Wow!

To REALLY Love

Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers. It is for love, period. Every one of us has at least one person we love. Most of us have have as many as five people that are not mere acquaintances, or even close friends, but something more.

The “Adele of the Ball” Impact

Nicki Minaj’s performance was beyond elaborate and expensive to put on. Yet it was tweeted as “people were outraged” by it. Adele – with just a black dress and a microphone resulted in six Grammys and everyone is enamored with her. Why is that?

I don’t think it’s a judgement of each artist’s style. I . . . → Read More: The “Adele of the Ball” Impact
