• Most Awesome Dog Video Ever

  This has to be one of the most awesome dog videos I've ever seen. It was shot for a Pedigree commercial. I may just have to reconsider dog food brands after seeing this. ...

• Sunday, Icy Sunday

  Temperatures in the 20's this morning across Central Florida. This has been a cold weather record-breaking week in the Sunshine state. And in my life-long Florida resident memory, I don't recall as long a stretch of cold weather as we've had so far in 2010! Whodathunk I would actually need my near-f...

• Book Ban

  Someone needs to ban me from purchasing any  more books until I catch up reading the ones I already have. Two more books just arrived on my doorstep this week from Amazon.com.  I've been very fortunate to meet some wonderful people recently who just happen to be authors as well and I can't w...

• Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

  There is so much to be thankful for this year.  The beginning of the year definitely had a rocky start given the economy and all that surrounded it.  I am so thankful for my job with Disney and all my friends I've made from co-workers to new friends made online to friends made through project...

• My B’day Shopping Spree

   I have an unofficial tradition I impose on myself every birthday weekend.  It's been more of a tradition in the past decade or so, but I honor it nonetheless and it involves self indulgence and total "me" time. I shop. I shop all day. I go to stores I may not visit for another year and just have...

• It Pays to Shop Around

  I wanted a dinette set for my breakfast nook in the kitchen.  I kinda knew what I wanted - a tall-boy set with comfortable chairs.  For weeks I had been scouring the circular ads in the paper hoping something would catch my eye and also give me an idea of what items like that are costing these day...

• How Half & Half cost $64.46

  I woke up this morning and remembered I was out of half & half.  With company here I had to take care of this before they woke up and poured their coffee.  So I grabbed the car keys and headed to Publix.  I should have only spent under $2.00.  As I'm walking in the store I remember I ne...
