  • Diverted Cookie Run

    The bad news is I went out last night to White Hen on a cookie run. The good news is instead of cookies I came home with a bag of granola cereal. The good news is I had granola instead of cookies. The bad news is I ate the entire bag. The good news is […]

  • Where the Sun Don't Shine

    All the fans are off. Autumn is here. The sun hasn’t shone (shined?) in 4-5 days and I think it is making me a bit loopy. Alarm off at 7 yesterday but didn’t get out of bed until 9. Ron was up all night (being seduced by Susan Lucci’s Youthful Essence infomercial) and had gone […]

  • Kringles and Bubblers

    Ron confirms that in Wisconsin Danish pastries are called Kringles and water fountains are called Bubblers. Is he pulling my leg again? Please confirm.

  • You Know What and You Know Who

    Very late start today. Didn’t wake up until about 9:45. Made the time today to handwrite my journal and my affirmations. Kitty is sequestered outside the bedroom so I don’t have him stomping on the keyboard. Lots of rain today. Gloomy outside. Today’s challenege is to not watch any television on this fifth anniversary of […]
