The Phone Call

The phone rings and I answer.
The man introduces himself and asks if I would mind taking a five minute survey about my old health insurance.  I agree and settle in for the rest of the call.
He asks the first question.  I don’t have much of an opinion but answer him anyway.
He asks the second question, [...]

The Great Blendini

Rita’s will be closing soon for the season, so our family just got some tonight…hence the title.
If you can believe me, I had quite a relaxing night at work.  I was working at our adult home, one consumer and very little work to do (the consumer is high functioning).  I was able to catch up [...]

Miss you love

I miss blogging.
I’m not even trying to avoid my blog, but the last few days it just didn’t occur to me to come on here to write. Kind of stupid in a way, as I’m doing my best to write everyday, yet, the one place that I never seem to be at a loss [...]

Busy, yet not.

I’ve been busy getting stuff done around the house…vacuuming, lots of dishes.  Last night I stayed up until 1am (well later) helping my mother with a work project.  The Pediatric unit at the hospital was having a “Healthy Eating” fair today with a food sale, raffles and the like.  She was busy baking pies (because [...]

It’s a dog’s life

Our family has two dogs, a nine (almost ten) year old Bichon Frise named Buddy, and a one year old German Shepard named Kira.  We are definitely a dog family and as you can imagine, our dogs are as much apart of our family as is any of it’s human members.
When you live with dogs, [...]

Heads or Tails: Keys

The Heads or Tails topic over at Skittle’s Place is all about keys this week.  I’ve been raking my brain, trying to come up with the “perfect” post for this topic.  I then realized that, oh hey, I ALREADY posted the perfect keys story.
A bit of brown, to cover up the blonde (from Feb. 20th)
I was [...]

The other day I wrote an update about this blog, reading back on it…I seriously think I need to really explain myself because I really was not clear to myself or to you the reader.
When I introduced the original Post College Years blog, the idea was for it to a record of my life after [...]
