I agree with Sherri’s post earlier this week that the most important thing about the Oscars (to me, anyway) is what everyone will wear.  Still, there are movies up for awards and I guess I should give them a bit of attention in between oogling the gowns.   Nine films are nominated for Best Picture.  I’ve [...]

Actually, I should call this blog The DH’s Latest Gadget–because I’m still having a grand old time playing with my new smart phone.  But last week the DH did some online shopping and Ta Dah!  We are now the proud owners of this thing: If you’re scratching your head, wondering, “What the heck is that?” [...]

No big blog today–just my hopes for everyone to enjoy a safe, healthy, and happy holiday.  Would love to know what you’re doing today–I’m preparing for the Big Italian Fish Feast tonight and looking forward to being with family and friends.   What are your plans? WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY! xox Share this:

One of the things I like best about this time of year is the music.  So many good songs–it doesn’t seem fair that we only get to hear them for a few weeks out of the year.  Given it’s The Most Wonderful Season of All, I thought I’d share my Top Ten Favorite Holiday Tunes.  [...]

I love marshmallows.  Love their soft texture, their sweet taste, their ooey, gooey goodness.  I love them roasted, toasted, covered in chocolate, or plopped in hot chocolate.  My favorite sandwich is a Fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff).  My favorite part of being a girl scout was making s’mores over the campfire.   My favorite part of [...]

For Book Saturday I decided to blog about WIRN, which is What I’m Reading Now.  I recently finished Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and am about to begin book 2 of the trilogy, Catching Fire.   If not for my book club I never would have read Hunger Games–dystopia isn’t really my cuppa.  Plus, the premise [...]

I’ve never been particularly athletic.  I wasn’t one of those kids in school who was good at sports.  No, I was more like one of those kids who always got picked last in gym.  I sucked at volleyball, field hockey, dodge ball and all that assorted crap we had to play.  Yet I’ve always enjoyed [...]

I need to add another tv show to my already too long “must watch” list like I need a hole in my head.  But here I am, adding more and more shows to TiVo.  My latest addictions are the new season of Dancing With the Stars, Chopped, Rachel Zoe Project, Project Runway, and Revenge.  First–Dancing [...]

As a reader, I’ve always enjoyed anthology stories.  I like the fact that I can read one in a matter of hours and that I often find new-to-me authors in a collection that I purchased in order to read one particular story. As a writer, I love anthologies because the short length is not only [...]

Some friends I’m on an email loop with were discussing their favorite ice cream flavors, and now ice cream is now all I can think about (clearly I’m very susceptible to the power of suggestion, LOL!).  I recently discovered two new-to-me brands of ice cream and I am seriously in love.  Actually, they aren’t ice [...]
