I used to want to be a writer. I used to want to be a lot of things along the way in my 40 years of being on the planet. Let’s review those things: A ballerina An equestrian An accountant A writer (newspaper, magazine) A musician A caterer A music librarian A music transcriber (electronically) [...]
In addition to our regular work this past week, we also held our Brand Week. “What is Brand Week?”, you ask. Well, I’ll tell you. During Brand Week, my company invites the appropriate sales rep of various spirits companies, wineries and even non-alcoholic beverage companies. These reps are given an hour of our time to [...]
This past week was VERY long. I’ve been working in my new position for a couple of weeks now and was starting to get a handle on all the small steps it takes to take, for example, a menu from conception to the book you hold in your hand when you go to the restaurant. [...]
The back deck is done! YAY We were able to almost double the size of the deck we had before. We replaced the table, chairs and umbrella. We haven’t replaced the window boxes or the tiki torches, though I do have some nice glass oil lamps that are filling the void quite nicely. So here [...]
So I just finished reading A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, and as she hasn’t completed the next book in the series, and I haven’t started reading her Lord John series, I am pondering actors for the characters.

I have gotten the munchkin hooked on them as well, heeheehee. AND I have been an avid reader of the Diana [...]
Found this through one of the newer blogs I read. Thought I’d share. Check out his website when you get a moment.
So, I recently was promoted at work. We finally found a replacement for me as administrative assistant, and now I can be my new self: Project Manager. I will start working with Delaware North Company on some of their projects. This will encompass sports teams, airports, gaming, and resorts/parks. It’s all food and beverage marketing, which [...]
I read this ridiculous quote this afternoon: Glenda Kinzer, 41, from rural Ohio, believes the end of the world is about to occur. “A lot of people are talking about how Obama fits the description” of the Antichrist. “I always thought he will be from the Middle East.” Are you KIDDING ME???? I read this in [...]
Last year we went to Cape Cod for vacation. The trip started out disastrous, got pretty good (bordering on fantastic) once we arrived, stayed longer than we meant (due to the earlier disaster), then we came home to more disaster. But everything has turned out for the MUCH better, so don’t think I’m complaining, just stating [...]
