Food for the Week

Last week’s meal planning went quickly by the wayside. I made it two days into the week before going off kilter. With another cold snap coming up this week, I am glad as some of what I was going to make will be shifted to this week.

Another Health Care Insurance Adventure

I do realize that states make some laws and the federal government makes others. In some cases, the federal government turns a blind eye – rightfully so – to states where the state law may be in direct conflict with the federal law. While I agree with that in many cases, I am having a… Continue reading Another Health Care Insurance Adventure

Journey to Health Insurance

I have had continual health insurance until December 5th. My divorce was finalized on 12/5/13 and my health insurance abruptly stopped on that exact date. No grace period.

What’s Up and How I Reacted?

I just read Danielle LaPorte’s latest piece entitled “Break the law, bag the contract, ignore your lawyer, be yourself.” I came away thinking I had definitely done something right over the past almost year. Almost a year ago, I got an email from my soon-to-be ex. You’ll notice that there is a new phrase out… Continue reading What’s Up and How I Reacted?

Goal Review

With the end of September comes the last quarter of 2013.  I cannot believe that we are that close to being done with this year. The entire year has just flew past.

This and That

A few weeks ago, I started a post that was going to be my opinion on one thing that was happening in the world. Instead, the post turned into a mish-mash of of opinions on several recent items I had been thinking of. Could I write a big post about each item? Yes. Do I… Continue reading This and That
