I say I dread this and, in some ways, I do but it is a necessity. I have to go shopping. I am looking for a dress to wear to a retirement party to be held at a country club. That is a bit more “dressiness” than my normal clothing is but it is okay… Continue reading A Task I Dread
I know no one could ever tell but I am really not biased. Yes, I did a huge, extremely long blog entry on the first democratic debate and nothing on either of the two republican debates but I swear I can justify. First off, I am a registered democrat. This means I will really only… Continue reading I’m Really Not Biased
What use to be an annual event in June was moved to May several years ago. The reasoning – today is school budget vote day in New York State. Schools all across NY are going to the polls today in hopes the voters in each district will approve the school board’s operating budget and most… Continue reading Ice Cream Social Here I Come!
What is it about May and June that they are so busy? My May calendar barely has any white space on it. Thankfully, the one bare spot it had was the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. This is normally a travel weekend for me. I have spent recent Memorial Day weekends at soccer tournaments in… Continue reading What is it about May and June?
For those of you who don’t know it, I am a huge hockey fan. Worse than that, I live in upstate NY and am not a big Buffalo Sabres fan (they are okay and if they are the last team left standing I would be fine with that). I am also not a NJ… Continue reading Here Comes the Plaza

When I had the ability and they were short on officers for the board of directors, I decided to volunteer for a one year stint. I was figuring they may need a secretary or… Continue reading The Impossible Position
Okay, temperatures were summerlike yesterday. I was in, as I said, shorts and a sleeveless shirt. I had a great time at my son’s tennis match as it was so beautiful out. I opened windows – that I had washed on Saturday – and there is where the beauty ends. I left the windows open… Continue reading Spring and Summer Arrive Together
Wow! It is finally warm here. I have on shorts and a sleeveless shirt and am not cold. So my mind is turning to summer. It may approach 80F here and that is definitely summer temps. This is going to be a different summer for me personally. Normally, summer seems rushed and cramped. My… Continue reading Summer Planning
Okay, I don’t remember dating being this hard previously in my life. Maybe that’s because life is so much more simple when you are 16. Now, I have work and family and the family schedule to deal with so it is much harder. I finally asked this guy I have been communicating with if he… Continue reading Dating ….
