Last Thurday, my daughter had a performance at her after school program (following pajama day at her school) and I was asked to bring potato salad. It’s been a long time since I’ve made one and the first batch of potatoes I overcooked. My mind was on mashed potatoes and potatoes for potato salad need […]
The thrills and excitement of Christmas for young children never fails to disappoint. We had a nice dinner over my parents followed by late night wrapping of presents and the usual morning excitement to get started opening gifts. My daughter will take this full speed ahead if we don’t restrain her. We have always tried […]
I had a great weekend, where I am starting to recognize myself again. I was able to give myself me time, get my “stuff” done, and spend quality time with my daughter. It was a jammed packed weekend, yet I did not feel even the slightest bit of stress. Friday started with going to the […]
I am not much of a writer for this blog. I am a big writer, but it is more personal, things that I don’t want to share on a blog. It’s been a tremendously busy time in my life. The demands of work and single parenting certainly puts a toll on me. I’m learning to […]

Once I hit puberty, I was never a ‘skinny’ girl. I always had curves, but not always in the places I thought were the right places. It didn’t bother me so much when I was younger because I always wore a size 8, and was very small on top. It gave me the advantage of […]
I made a pledge to myself at the beginning of this year that I would train to run a 5K race. You haven’t heard from me in a while and perhaps you think I gave up. Far from it. I started this new year gung ho, and went at it with verve and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, […]
I just finished rewatching last nights season premiere of Battlestar Gallactica. It took a lot of gearing up to get back into the show after such a long hiatus.
