30 Day Challenge- Through my Eyes:  Back Attack!

30 Day Challenge- Through my Eyes: Back Attack!

This is a sampling of my eye’s view all morning. Apparently, three days of moving concrete statues and other lawn fixtures, followed by a 4 mile run, followed by a day of bending over in the damp basement to remove water must have been too much for this ‘ole body! I’m suffering from a major ...

30 Day Challenge-Through my Eyes: The Morning After Sandy!

30 Day Challenge-Through my Eyes: The Morning After Sandy!

We survived! We lost a tree and spent much of the day ridding our basement of water but we fared well compared to many. Please keep all those affected in your prayers. As it continues to rain, Middle Creek may become Middle Road. But no worries….I’m ready to hit the highway! Have kayak, will travel.

30 Day Challenge- Through my Eyes:  Hunker Down with Sandy

30 Day Challenge- Through my Eyes: Hunker Down with Sandy

Today is Day One of Operation “Hunker Down.” I swear if I hear that term again (or the word Epic) I’m going to scream! The Fantasy Julie is quite impressive when she is “hunkered down.” She reads books, writes witty blog posts, makes pumpkin bread, and runs on the treadmill (assuming, of course, there is ...

Day 3 of “Through My Eyes”:  Say Cheese!

Day 3 of “Through My Eyes”: Say Cheese!

I am fast becoming the most “photographed” woman in the tri-state area. It appears that lately, when the fine men in blue are not stopping me personally to say hello and praise me for looking super-cute in my driver’s license picture, they take their own pictures! So today, on Day 3 of my 30 Day ...

The Sensational Sixties!

The Sensational Sixties!

Our friend, Tod, turned 60 this weekend. If you met him, you’d think he was just turning 50. He’s one of the most youthful people I know. Our families have been friends for a very long time and we’ve spent many wonderful times together. We’re heading over to their house to celebrate his big 6-0, ...

Smack down at Mickey D’s

Smack down at Mickey D’s

Dear McDonalds, I survived your pink slime scandal. I don’t eat that stuff and quite frankly I suspected something like that was going on in McNuggetville. I got over the fact that your last big marketing strategy was to make my beloved soda a mere dollar, regardless of the size. I forgive you for knowing ...

Magic Mike, the Italian Stallion, and Me

Magic Mike, the Italian Stallion, and Me

This past Friday night I joined a few of my gal pals for a much anticipated “girl’s night out.” After a yummy dinner at the Mediterranean Grill, we headed over to WestView Theatres to catch the 7:30 pm. showing of Magic Mike. Unless you’ve been living under a rock this summer, you’ve probably heard about ...

Hot stuff!!!!

Hot stuff!!!!

Unless you’ve been unconscious for the last several weeks, you know we are experiencing a bit of a heat wave here on the east coast. To put it bluntly, it’s stinkin’ hot. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I like this unbearable heat because it provides me with the perfect excuse to do……. absolutely ...
