“Mom, I need you to come pick me up.”

Many of you have experienced those phone calls from your kids.   They have gotten themselves into a situation, and you need to come and help them out.    I am very fortunate that my first call (I think! or perhaps I’ve blocked out past calls…?) occured this past week. It was 12:36 a.m on a Thursday.  […]

Family time in NYC

Last weekend found me in NYC with my sister, my brother and his family, and my folks.   We were all there to celebrate my nephews wedding. This was a last minute trip.   I made the decision to join the family only two weeks prior.   I think this unexpected adventure made the time even more enjoyable.   […]

This season…it’s all about the suede!

Suede shoes!  They are everywhere!  You gotta love it.  I must admit that between last year and this season, I am participating in the suede parade!  Today’s post is a photo journal of some from my collection. Which is your favorite?

Do you lurk?

Lurker: From Wikipedia. In Internet culture, a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a message board, newsgroup, chatroom, file sharing or other interactive system, but rarely or never participates actively. Do you lurk?  I think you do!  This post is a shout out to all my lurking friends.  You know who you are!  […]

Barb vs The Honey Bear

It’s interesting what experiences you have while working from home.  I am not just working from home, I am working from home because I am under the weather.  More specifically…nasty cold and NO VOICE!    I can hear you all shouting (thank you for doing so, by the way, since I have no voice to do […]

Any Hootie and the Blowfish fans out there?

One of the most distinctive voices in music is Darius Rucker.  Many of you in my *ahem* generation will remember him from Hootie and the Blowfish.   When I recently heard this voice on my favorite country station, I immediately recognized it.  Darius Rucker has a new album, Learn to Live.  What an amazing talent. I […]

Nice Ride, Cowboy…revisited

I woke up this morning with a vague recollection that I had coughed all night.  I soon realized that I had lost my voice.   Ugh… For those of you who know me well, you realize that this is a tragedy for me!  What’s a girl to do? I also realized that I have a dinner […]

Love in New York City

Fun!  Fun!  Fun!  I have been able to clear my schedule to take a trip to New York City in three short weeks!  My nephew Adam, and his fiancee Tammi, are getting married on November 14, 2009.   I will be joining the happy couple, Adams parents (my brother), my folks, my sister and all the […]

Where have you been?

O.K.  Angel, before you ask me just where the heck I’ve been, I thought that I would beat you to the punch.   The last couple of weeks have been eventful and interesting.   I would like to say that I have been living the dogs life, and that I’ve been resting and relaxing.   But…not so much. […]
