I have a growing list of things I want to order from At Home America this year, including a magazine rack for my husband’s burgeoning magazine collection. Since I haven’t heard that anyone else is hosting a party, I thought I might put feelers out and see if anyone else would be interested. In order [...]
The Red Sox are World Champions again. The undefeated Patriots continue to dominate every team that gets in their path. What more can you ask for on a Sunday in late October? Heck, even the weather (sunny and crisp) and dinner (homemade chicken pot pie and an spiced almond and pear pie) were perfect.
The entire company is going to end up binging on sweets tonight without knowing why. And it’s my fault. I am apparently a very wicked person. Not just evil, but very wicked. All because I popped a bag of microwave popcorn. Yummy candy corn flavored popcorn which filled the office with a scent that reminded [...]
Jon and Steve are at Fenway, just in front of the Dunkin’ Dugout, psyched up for game seven of the ALCS. Meanwhile, I can’t bring myself to turn away from the television coverage. As much as everyone complains about Fox, that terribly cliched musical score they use feels right tonight. It just adds to the [...]

I’m trying to get a table at the Thornton’s Ferry Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday, November 17, from 9am to 3pm in Merrimack, NH The link has all the details, but it’s a very kid-friendly craft fair with face-painting and [...]
In addition to trying my luck at a craft fair (see my last post), things are changing for me at work. As in, big changes. New responsibilities, new job title, new business cards, and even more new uncertainties. I’ve been involved in lot of quick meetings and projects that feel more like fire drills than [...]
I woke up this morning with moderate vertigo. At first I was a bit disoriented and stumbling over my own feet, unable to keep my balance. It has improved after sitting and standing upright most of the morning, but if I bend over or tip my head down, I am immediately dizzy. I can feel [...]
