I Was Feeling Bamboozled By My Freezer Choices

It took me a moment to look through my freezer to decide what I wanted to make for dinner. It was a tough choice, but the General Tso's chicken, shrimp egg rolls, and fried rice won out over the meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

Laundry Day and Lunch For One

After watching my many favorite Food Network shows this morning, I did a survey of the house and the chores that need immediate attention. John is working another double, so I have time on my hands today. No time like the present to wash the sheets, clean the windows, and wash the curtains. My car... Sign in to see full entry.

Heading Out for That Dreaded Trip to Wally World

One of the things that I try to avoid is shopping trips to Walmart, but my feathered friends and fur babies depend on me to supply them with their many treats, including apple-scented corn, peanuts, marshmallows, suets, and their favorite black oil seeds.

Not A Fun Day, but A Very Necessary One

Having teeth removed is scary, and it becomes even more terrifying when your dentist refers you to an oral surgeon. That is where John and I are headed this afternoon for his consultation to see what needs to be done and how much in debt we will be after the procedure. Thank goodness for dental...

The View from Our Living Room Window This Morning At 3:30 A.M.

John is on the day shift this week, so he gets up at 3:30 am. He saw movement out of our living room picture window and quickly grabbed my cell phone. This pretty little lady decided to play nice and pose for him. It even appears that she smiled for the camera. Sign in to see full entry.
