This month I’ve traveled to:
Irvine, California
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
San Antonio, Texas
And tomorrow to:
Denver, Colorado
Some of this is for business, some for pleasure. Only one trip was with my husband (and I’ll post photos from the wedding soon – we had a great time!).
I’m looking forward to getting some things done around the house next month. It’s time [...]
And by the title, I mean myself.
Prime example: For a month this spring, I used an electronic treadmill instead of the track. Even today I used a Precor. Me. Miss “I leave the microwave and other appliances unplugged to save electricity”.
Why? Because I like the programs. That I can set [...]
The first Earth Day celebration I remember was in 1989. My teacher was young, hip, and inspired us to learn beyond the standard curriculum. I remember having several group talks about the planet, pollution, recycling, and global population growth. Keep in mind this was the fifth grade.
I don’t recall her using my current mantra: “Use [...]
Apparently my photo quota is almost reached, and I’m too cheap to buy more space. Here’s an oldie but goodie.

My mom found the faux fur in a clearance bin for $1.57 and I got a yard of pink satin for $1. And the button was in a giant “button drawer” I inherited from a [...]
Today marked the start of bike-to-work season. I can’t tell you how giddy I am about this!
I love being on the bike. I love the extra bit of exercise. I love being out in the sunrise. And I love that the morning temps are finally at 40 degrees (our threshold)!
Yesterday, on the bus ride home, [...]
I had a good week in Milwaukee visiting my family and thankfully, two friends, too.
My grandma is doing well, although she has her moments of pain and discomfort. She’s getting a bit confused some days, and takes out her frustration over it on my mom. Elder care is tough business. I helped out as much [...]
My business trip to southern California went really well. I arrived in the afternoon on Friday, smoozed at the dinner event, and then the following day got down to my primary assignment, which went very well. That left Saturday night for our own desires before flying back on Sunday.
After a quick change, my co-worker and I drove the [...]
