I found out the hard way that today was the first day of school here. I got stuck behind one of those large, smelly, yellow school buses on my way to work this morning. I was late to work and the day went down hill from there. I’m sure that there are a lot of [...]

I like that when I get my hot mocha at Sheetz it comes with a coupon for a free donut. Sheetz is a gas/convenience store that I buy my gas and smokes at. They have the cheapest prices of anyone, most of the time. Their mocha’s aren’t as good as Starbucks, but they are cheaper [...]

My sister emailed me that in Fairfax County (near where she lives) there has been a great loss involving a drunk driver Sunday morning. One Catholic nun is dead and two others are in critical condition. A sad time for the local religious community. Drunk driving is still claiming way too many lives even with [...]

One of the things that I always enjoy about going on vacation is finding unique places to go. I don’t want to go around and always stay in the same chain of hotels and eat at the same chain of restaurants every time! What’s the point of going anywhere if everything is the same? Might [...]

My car seems to sucking a good amount of oil each month. It is a good thing that my Dad taught me the basics about my car, which is why I have been able to catch this oil issue. Looks like I’ll need to take it to my local FireStone dealer and have them take [...]

An very good long time friend of mine has asked me to take a get-a-way with her and stay at one of the nicer resorts in Myrtle Beach after Labor Day. She got one heck of a good tax refund check and saved up a good amount of vacation days at her work and wants [...]

Jules sent me an email inviting me to come join her to see Weird Al in concert with her. She won some PNC BANK CENTER TICKETS in a raffle drawing and she knows that I am a great fan of Weird Al. I am afraid that I am going to have to turn down her [...]

A friend on Facebook posted this video on Facebook, and I found it on youtube so I could share it with you. I think that is one of the most awesome videos I’ve seen in a long time! I hope you agree!

I received some luggage as a gift from my hubby. He asked his sister to help him find a good deal on luggage and she told him to look into buying Tumi Luggage. To be perfectly honest, I had never heard of Tumi Luggage before, but who am I to look a gift horse in [...]

The interesting news story of the day seems to be about the air traffic controller at JFK letting his kid talk to the pilots. Both the employee and the supervisor have been suspended over this. I understand why so many people are upset over this, but don’t you think a little bit of retraining might [...]

Many years ago I bought AAA insurance. I always thought it was a great investment. If I ran out of gas, got a flat tire, needed a jump start, or locked my keys in the car, they were there for me. And I LOVE their Trip-Tiks! Even so, they do not take care of all [...]

It always amazes me how today’s technology has become so advanced and are becoming more affordable so that more people can take advantage of all there is to offer us. Now if we could only get the insurance companies to start covering more technologies we could really see a difference. My sister-in-law just had some [...]

A friend of a friend who has a relative that knows someone that works for the Department of Transportation who told a friend of mine that the media has down played the snow storm that we are just beginning to experience. We are being told that we will be getting between 2 to 4 feet [...]

It is becoming a big issue for our emergency personnel that are not being able to locate people in need of assistance. If your address plaque isn’t displayed correctly then it makes it hard for them to see if they are at the right place for the right emergency. Since this is an issue they are [...]

Once in a while my best friend will send me a funny email. Not all of them are all that entertaining, but once in a while she will send a good one. Like today she sent me this picture with the title of “this Is What Deaf Looks Like” I thought it was hilarious, hope [...]

I can remember as a child vacationing at my parent’s riverfront cottage on the edge of a golf course. My brothers and sisters and I used to walk through the wooded edges of the golf course and find the abandoned balls that golfers had hit in the rough. Then we would walk the course and [...]

I’m starting to get the impression that staying in a Myrtle Beach Resort is the next best thing to being in Heaven! I’ve been trying to decide which Resort in Myrtle Beach I want to stay in, and it seems like there are so many wonderful places to stay! It may take weeks for me to decide [...]

Sophie just called me to invite me to attend a concert at Madison Square Garden next March. It seems that she has scored some Michael Buble tickets! Well, I am certainly interested in that invitation – there is no question about that! I asked her how did she manage to find out about the concert [...]

I have a very old conch shell that my mother gave to me when I was a little girl. She said it was a souvenir from one of her vacations to the ocean before she had any children at all. She would tell me to close my eyes and hold the shell up to my ear and [...]

Many of my fondest childhood memories involve walking along a beach. Sand in my toes, looking for shark’s teeth or pretty shells. I never was much of one for swimming, but I liked wading in the shallow surf. And the beauty of the beach – especially at dawn is a breathtaking sight that I absolutely [...]
