Being Thankful

I’m going to pass the blogging baton over to you NaBloPoMoers and take a blogcation for the rest of this, my favorite holiday of the year.  In my absence, a running list of stuff for which I am thankful: My new apartment.  I wish we had met sooner. Hyperlinking The surgical pins that are holding [...]

Who needs turkey?

As I get older, I’m liking Thanksgiving more than Christmas.  First of all, it’s all about the food, and I love food.  Secondly, there’s no need to go broke on getting presents for everyone, or having that awkward moment of I didn’t know we were exchanging gifts… / I thought we were exchanging gifts?  I [...]

one year later

A year ago this time, I was housebound and walking on crutches, dependent on friends and co-workers for rides everywhere after the great ankle breakage of ’07.  But now I can walk, run, swim, and even swing dance on occasion.  No, I don’t play kickball anymore, but I do go and watch the games, even [...]

What’s news?

I took the day off yesterday, both from work and from the blog world.  I think I’m going to extend my little mini-hiatus until lunchtime when I hope to have a moment to put up the post I have in mind. No, no time.  Maybe tomorrow?  In the meantime, did I miss anything in the [...]

F^%# you kitty you’re gonna spend the night… Outside!

The cats are still driving me crazy.  They fight, they yell for food hours before the alarm, they don’t like the food I give them and they cry, or they love the food, scarf it down, it and cry for more.  They poop in a box in the bathroom, (and sometimes pee in the kitchen [...]

WTF? of the day

I just saw this ad on the Huffington Post:  (Yes, I was reading the article about the cancellation of “My Own Worst Enemy” a.k.a. “The show that makes me want to turn off the TV the second “Heroes” is over”) But what I want to talk about is what the hell is going on with [...]

This is my hometown

Thanks for all your support yesterday!  Now I have some added pressure to keep on posting…  It got me thinking about why I started doing this in the first place, to document my move from New York City to the Hudson Valley.  So I’m getting back to my roots today. I went for a long [...]
