You Just Gotta Love the Irony

Running around a grocery store while planning out meals each week is not my idea of a good time, but it is a necessary one for my particular lifestyle. Rather than spend a ton of money on the food trucks that park at the steel mill, I make lunches for John, oftentimes two lunches on the days that he... Sign in to see full entry.

We Finally Got Everything Transferred Over to Our New Fridge

The new refrigerator should have been delivered last week, but construction on the main street in my small borough prevented the delivery truck from getting through town. The 22-foot truck finally got here earlier this afternoon. I got lucky in that I was not held up all day like I was last Friday... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Been a Long, Hard Week, So Now It's Time to Catch Up On the Laundry

By the end of the long work week, our laundry pile looks like we are a family of six rather than two due to John's many double shifts at the mill. Today, I get to play catch up. This will not be a problem since I enjoy doing laundry on rainy days. Sign in to see full entry.

Dinner For One Once Again

I can't complain about all of the hours that my hubby is working, simply because it is helping out to pay for our many recent upgrades on our recently purchased home, but dinner for one can be lonely unless you find some really good grub that takes your mind off of the whole situation. Located just... Sign in to see full entry.

It Would Appear That Some People Don't Like to Work Anymore

Due to a severe case of a few guys at the steel mill having the lazy bug syndrome, John is stuck on two back-to-back double shifts with a quick return to the next shift that leaves him roughly with four hours of sleep each night. The ridiculous part of this is that these guys are half John's age,... Sign in to see full entry.

Out With the Old and In With the New & I'm Making an Easy Peasy Dinner Too

While shopping at Lowes for flower bulbs a few days ago, I came across several Labor Day sales that were hard to ignore. Anyway, the end result is that we are the proud new owners of a stainless steel Frigidaire French Door refrigerator. This was not bought out of want, but out of need. Our old...

Honoring Three Pittsburgh Icons Who Grew Up Near Each Other

One of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, Dan Marino grew up at 3261 Parkview Avenue in the Pittsburgh suburbs. Marino had previously been a star quarterback for the University of Pittsburgh. The Marino's house was just a few feet away from the house where the world famous artist Andy Warhol... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Patiently Waiting for Cooler Weather So That I Can Start Planting

We took a trip to the Lowes garden department yesterday because I always have flowers on my mind. We purchased bright yellow Daffodil bulbs and hybrid Tulip bulbs with a variety of colors that I plan to plant this month, but I will have to wait because it is still too hot to risk it. Each package... Sign in to see full entry.

Count Me In!

Other than for a few exceptions, I have never really come across a pie I don't like, especially when it's a pizza pie that we're talking about, and today just happens to be "National Cheese Pizza Day." Cheese pizza is a quintessential part of the U.S. culture now but it is a descendant of its... Sign in to see full entry.

There Has Been Plenty of Action in My Yard Today

The unbearable conditions from the 90-degree heat and humidity have made my bird bath the main attraction for both the birds and the squirrels since early this morning. I have already had to refill it three times due to my little feathered friends splashing around in the cool water, not to mention... Sign in to see full entry.
