I know, I’m a bit early (again) but we are heading down to Waterford tomorrow and won’t be back until New Year’s Day. Everyone have a sassy and safe New Year’s Eve!

Staying Awake

So what do you do when faced with jet-lag?
First, you give in to it and stay awake from 2 am until 5 am.
Then you sleep until noon.
Then you make a big pot of salsa soup only to find out that your husband is being taken out to lunch on his last day of work, so [...]

Happy Anniversary!

Dressing Room Fun

Get your mind out the gutter, I don’t mean that kind of fun. Although that would put a little extra kick in the holiday shopping.
No, no, the dressing room fun that I am talking about is that I made a new friend! While standing half naked in a dressing room! Now if that isn’t shades [...]

Happy Hannukah!

Happy Hannukah! With my past history with matches I certainly won’t be lighting a menorah, but a child of less than five has bet me many, many chocolate gold coins in a dreidel - off.
She’s going down.
