I love to watch people win things on TV. I cry every time. This week I watched J.R. Martinez win the Dancing with the Stars mirror ball trophy, and then I watched Ellen DeGeneres give away $10,000 and a car. I got all choked up…
I think the pardoning of a turkey by the President is a ridiculous custom. It reminds me of Groundhog Day, when they take a poor groundhog, who would much rather be in a hole, and display him on a table, to see if “he sees his shadow” or not. Absurd. The turkey would rather be in a field than on a table…
The other day I tried a new cookie recipe. The cookies are so good, I only make four at a time so I can limit myself. If I don’t, I’d eat all the dough in one sitting…
I have zero interest in shopping on Black Friday…
I just showed my future stepsons the French black and white film, “The 400 Blows.” It was like “Scared Straight” with subtitles. When it was finished, I wagged my finger at them and said, “Let that be a lesson to you, kids!”…
I’ve decided that after my wedding in June, I’m going to cut my hair and let it go back to its natural color. I’ll be curious to see how much grayer I’ve gotten in the past three years…
My S.O. got a new job; I still have a hard time describing what he does. What I really want to know is if they have an office Holiday party. I’ve always wanted to go to an office Holiday party…
It’s beginning to feel a lot like…the beginning of fall, not the end of fall. We’ve had a number of 50- and 60- degree days here in Boston. I’d like it to get a little colder so it feels more like the holiday season. Am I crazy?…
I want a kitten so bad, but I’m allergic to cats. S.O. and I try to indulge ourselves by looking at pictures of cute kittens on our computers. It’s satisfying…for a while… There’s tea in the tea drawer, milk in the fridge, and bread in the pantry. I’ve been spending time with family lately. The house is clean. My latest tattoo has healed…
I have a great life. I am thankful…
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. And now, let it snow…
