Regular unleaded gas at the local Haffner’s just fell below $3 a gallon for the first time in what feels like ages. It wasn’t even that long ago that $3 seemed impossibly high, but I’m glad to see it all the same. Mutsu apples make tasty pies. They stay firm, have great honey notes, and [...]
I’m in an autumnal sort of mood this week, with the cool mornings and sunny afternoons we’re experiencing in the Northeast making me crave sweaters, apple pie, and other fall traditions. Today, I had a hankering for Autumn Mix, so I took a lunch run to the local Target. I found single-flavor bags of caramel [...]
Hello there. Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m not dead. Or incarcerated. Or hospitalized. I’ve just been caught up in life. So it’s not like I’ve had a shortage of things to write about. It’s just that I haven’t felt compelled to share them. I’m not sure I’ve ever gone more than a [...]
If my life were a movie, it would probably resemble a gory vampire flick. Switching primary care physicians has unleashed a horde of new doctors and specialists in my life. And each one of them wants my blood. And not just a little bit here or there, but a few vials before an appointment and [...]
It’s raining again. And holding the temperature in the 60s, so there’s an upside. All the rain we’ve seen during the last few weeks has made me contemplate buying a pair or galoshes. Last year’s snow created similar urges for high-quality boots, which I still haven’t purchased. I feel like I’m getting back into the [...]
It’s been a week and a half, but I think I’m beginning to adjust to some of the new things in my life. The biggest change has been my schedule — I’m out of the house just after 8 and home at 6. It’s a challenge to be ready by 8, but I’ve managed so [...]
Jon and I caught The Dark Knight after work today and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It was dark, rather sinister, and absolutely enthralling. I highly recommend it.
Back from a great vacation in Michigan. Saw a lot of family, ate loads of diner food, and did plenty of relaxing. The drive was not nearly as bad as I had feared, although another hour’s delay would’ve made it necessary to stop somewhere in the middle. Started a new job today at PC Connection. [...]
The air-conditioning at our place bit the bullet earlier this week. Since Jon is on vacation, he’s been able to see a parade of contractors and sales people come in to make estimates for repair and replacement. Our landlords will be the ones to review and decide on a plan of action, but we’ll be [...]
So, after talking about it for months, I finally listed one of my cards on Etsy. For those of you unfamiliar, Etsy is an online crafts marketplace. It’s like the most awesome virtual craft fair ever, providing artists and crafters with the tools and interface to sell their creations. There are so many inspiring things [...]
