I’ve been spending a lot of time lurking on the DISboards while planning an upcoming trip to Disney World. Lurking, not posting much. Because it’s really rather crazy over there. There’s some good advice interspersed with massive flame wars (guaranteed hot spots: scooters and smoking). Threads can suddenly go south with [...]
Is the over-abundance of online reviews taking the joy out of exploring and trying new things?
Can’t remember the last time I just stopped at a place because it looked interesting. Now I have to google it first and read the top and bottom reviews and see if it’s worth it. And I’ve been [...]
Did so many things today and I’m exhausted.
1. Woke up early and drove to San Antonio.
2. Dropped off my Fiesta dress at the cleaner’s to get cleaned and boxed up. It’s been sitting on a chair in my bedroom for years, and it’s time to put it away.

When at first you wind the clock and set the pendulum to swinging, the noise of the tick-tocking seems overwhelmingly loud. Perhaps it’s all you can focus on for a while, this alien clacking. Yet, over time, it fades into the background and becomes part of the heartbeat of the world of the [...]
For dinner tonight we had pork tenderloin stuffed with prosciutto and breadcrumbs, smashed potatoes, and sauteed green beans.
When hub sliced the tenderloin, I had to laugh. It had to be the most phallic food I’ve ever seen! They make a cream for that! Georgia O’Keefe would be proud!

Trying to figure out which way she’s spinning? Cheat.
I’m trying to overcome my self-imposed title of “Black Thumb.” Yes, I have had a tendency to kill plants in the past, but mainly because I forgot to water them. Shame.
But there’s nothing like a home-grown tomato, is there? And now since the tree got blown down a couple of years ago, [...]
Doctor’s call center: “Thank you for calling, may I help you?”
Me: “Yes, I need to make an appointment.”
Call center: “And what is it for?”
Me: “I have a cervical strain.”
Call center: “…You sure you didn’t mean to call the OB/Gyn?”
Me: *sigh* “The neck cervical, not the other cervical.”
Call center: “Oh.”
GENERATION SLAP: They’re naive, self-important, and perpetually plugged in. This is a call to arms against Millennials.
Sure, Generation X survived AIDS, Reagan, the Cold War, Tipper Gore, and A Flock of Seagulls, but those adversities, suggest Strauss and Howe, pale in comparison to what Millennials face today. Consider the stress of having to juggle a [...]
