Monthly Archives: November 2011

This is going to be a surprise to all of you as it was to me also.  The first birthday of this blog is November 15, 2011.  That is, tomorrow.  After 270 postings, 786 comments,      726 spam comments, and 8,879 views all-time, I have decided to take a long break. I was watching a show whereContinue reading “I am taking a break…and by the way… Happy Birthday!!!!!”

Hold it!  That’s what I am telling the frontal part of my brain.  The famous Perry moment has been dissected and analyzed so much that the subject of my posting today has been taken over by the incident this poor politician had last night. It was a simple…”senior moment.”  Why don’t they call it whatContinue reading “Oops!…I forgot…”

This is the way it looked when I purchased.  Very heavy box.  My Superwoman skills came very handy when loading and unloading the heavy bookcase into the cart, into my car, and into my apartment.  You don’t want to know what my mind was processing while doing all of this. But…I wanted a small bookcaseContinue reading “U.S.A. Made…and my own handywoman capabilities….”

As you have heard me say before, I love my new home in Florida.  It is a small city in Central Florida and it has many amenities to offer such as museums, a small college right downtown, a fabulous library, many boutiques, several ethnic restaurants, bistros and a beautiful park where the terminal for my friendly trainsContinue reading “Going down to the village for a stroll…”

Today, on my way out to drop my garbage, sometimes I do it two to three times a day.  Do not like bugs.  Oh yes, on the way to the big garbage container, I almost stepped on this snail.  Can you imagine the energy and time it took this beautiful creature to get right onContinue reading “At the speed of a snail…”

I already had something working on for today’s posting, but my good friend Lucy sent me an email that contained a story of a young man named Kevin Schombert, a senior at his high school in Frederick County, Maryland. He was named Homecoming King.  According to some of his school mates, he has the highestContinue reading ““Today was the best day of my life…””

All of us love the idea of the weekend.  We look forward to it as something that will liberate us to do what we really love and just to chill. It is as if we take a breather from life itself.  We feel excited, relaxed and look forward to doing so many things, even thoughContinue reading “The weekend…Fin de Semana…Fin de semaine…”

Today I had to run an errand “downtown,”  so I prep very well, with my blazer, my scarf and looking real fall weather like.  The high was supposed to be mid-seventies, so I thought, this is my chance to look real cool. Well, as soon as I opened the door, it was like “welcome toContinue reading “I am here…you are still there…”

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with my floating list of things to do.  But this morning, I wrote down all things I would like to accomplish for November, but some of them I must do. While the floating list was existing inside my cranium, I felt somewhat anxious, because on top of the regular stuff, the holidays areContinue reading “The list…the list…where is the list…”

By now you get it…raining all day.  All my ambitious plans went down the drain.  Lunch will be a lame soup made of celery, carrots, some leftover rice and leftover salmon.  Don’t know how that brew is going to taste, but today is spirits’ day.  I like to make my own holiday.  I call itContinue reading “Drip…drip…tick…tock…drip…drip…tick…tock….then…the spoiler…”
