Updates

Hello all – Thank you to all who contacted me after my last post.  I truly appreciate the words of encouragement. I’m down 51 lbs so far.  I feel amazing!  I have a lot more energy and just feel so much lighter in general.  The news about my ankle is much worse than I expected.  [...]

Hello Again

Well, I didn’t realize I had let such a long time go by without any updates.  A lot has happened in the last few months.  1.  I had weight-loss surgery.  Yes, yes, I did.  There were times in my life that I thought that was the easy way out.  There were times when I said [...]

Happy New Year!

Hello loves.  I’m coming out of bloggy retirement to say hello. Normally, I do a whole bunch of end-of-year posts to talk about whether or not I met my previous goals and to make new goals.  Well, I didn’t meet last year’s goals.  Not a one, I don’t think.  But that’s okay, as I made [...]

One Day by David Nicholls Regular Amazon Price:  $8.97  Kindle Price:  $9.99  Overage:  $1.02 I saw the trailer for the movie and decided that I wanted to read the book.  It was a twist (to me) on the movie Same Time Next Year.  The book was a bit difficult to get into, I though, but [...]

Dear beloved readers, As you know, I took the month of July off of blogging, as I knew it was going to be a very busy month at work.  I had hoped that during this time, I would “blog ahead” some posts, such as the décor posts or my book reviews. That didn’t happen.  The [...]

TV Tuesday

1.  You know, I was so disappointed with this season’s Top Chef Masters that I didn’t even bother to watch the finale.  I read about it and deleted the episode from the DVR. I love it when people get along, I really do.  But that makes for incredibly boring TV. 2.  I was so disappointed [...]
