book tour of portland

On February 18, 2009 By

Nope, not that kind of book tour. Not yet, at least. I took some time off of work last week and early this week to work on the book. I have a hard time focus­ing in the house, as I am eas­ily dis­tracted when there are other things to fid­dle with, so I fig­ured getting […]

something’s gone ari-se

On February 10, 2009 By

Whew! Tak­ing a breath now. Midterms are over. I have 4 weeks until finals (I hate quar­ters, I’m a semes­ter kind of gal). Ah, that’s better.

Two of the but­ton pack­ages were sent back to me because they were “too thick” and required more postage, so I will be resend­ing those tomor­row. I can’t imagine […]

signs of life…

On February 5, 2009 By

Hello there! Just a quick note that I am still alive, just swamped. I promise to have some yummy pic­tures up this week­end, as well as some food reviews. I am jug­gling full-time work, full-time school and the book– yesh! It’s all good, but I have midterms this week, so I’ve been run­ning a little […]

“Patri­o­tism is sup­port­ing your coun­try all the time, and your gov­ern­ment when it deserves it.” –Mark Twain

Mr. Samuel Clemens cer­tainly nailed it on the head with that quote. Isn’t this his­toric occa­sion quite the mix­ture of joy and relief? We have some hard times ahead of us, most cer­tainly, but to have some­one like Barack […]

A Berry Good Breakfast

On January 11, 2009 By

Wow, I am the queen of cheezy post titles. I think that one took me over the edge.

I wanted to take a moment to high­light one of the hol­i­day gifts I received. I think you can appreciate it.

My brother-in-law and his wife had a whole squirrel-themed box for me. It was filled with delicious […]

Wow!

On December 30, 2008 By

I am truly over­whelmed with your gra­cious response to my reimur­gence from my cyber­cave! Thank you so very much.

Well, a year has passed. It’s one of those sit­u­a­tions where so much has hap­pened that you can’t think of any­thing, you know? Like when you see some­one you went to high school with and […]

i’m back in the saddle again

On December 26, 2008 By

I’m not afraid to admit that I love Aero­smith. How can you not?

Hello there! I hope that 2008 is end­ing on a high note for all of you.

At the end of 2007, I decided to take a break from blog­ging to focus on some other things in my life that needed some focused atten­tion, namely […]
