Is it bad that I ate a messy bacon cheeseburger two nights in a row?? I get that if my goal is to be healthy, then I shouldn’t be gorging myself on red meat, but there is just something about a beef burger. I do enjoy turkey burgers and once upon a time, I usedContinue reading “Day 152 — Saturday, August 15, 2020 or burgers again, anyone??”

My husband and I are creatures of habit — well OK, it’s definitely more him than me, but there are sometimes that I’ll willingly go along with with his routine. And one of them is a Friday night bacon cheeseburger. There is just nothing more satisfying than eating a messy burger loaded with all myContinue reading “Day 151 — Friday, August 14, 2020 or it’s Friday therefore I must eat a cheeseburger!”

Today is my 150th day at home. I can’t believe that so much time has passed, in some ways it feels like it was just last week that I was packing up my office plant and dragging my crap on the commuter rail train heading for home… And today is also my nephew’s 14th birthdayContinue reading “Day 150 — Thursday, August 13, 2020 or on my 150th day we actually went out for dinner with family!!”

Why don’t I ever learn?? Remember I mentioned last week about the painting group that I was thinking about joining? They started a yearly membership for $20 a month and they’d do virtual classes on painting techniques and other crafts. Well, tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the introductory price for $20Continue reading “Day 149 — Wednesday, August 12, 2020 or I definitely just overcommitted myself again…”

I had a two hour conference call this morning. And I honestly wasn’t looking forward to it, because two hours of anything is frankly just a lot, unless it’s two hours of wine tasting or two hours of floating in large inground pool while reading a book. But then it can go the other wayContinue reading “Day 148 — Tuesday, August 11, 2020 or the things that happen in my house when I am working”

Our local library reopened back in June for pick up only service. It’s the easiest thing ever. You select the books you want from their website and when they are available they send you an e-mail with instructions to call the library and arrange for curbside pick up. You can even request books from otherContinue reading “Day 147 — Monday, August 10, 2020 or I think I need to turn in my library card…”

Yes, they are!! Check out what I harvested today: How yummy do they look?!? And there are a bunch more that weren’t quite ripe yet, so I left them for a little bit, but I should get back out there and grab them before one of our furry neighborhood animals decides that they want aContinue reading “Day 146 — Sunday, August 9, 2020 or my tomatoes are finally ripening!!”

My husband and I went down to the shore to visit some of his cousins today. This was the first time that we really have left our town and the other surrounding towns. OK, maybe not my husband, who has been practically any damn place that’s been open for business since March because he can’tContinue reading “Day 145 — Saturday, August 8, 2020 or we social distanced with some family”

My husband and I went out for dinner tonight — big surprise, it is a Friday! We are definitely creatures of habit and Friday night means outdoor dining at a local restaurant. We typically chose one of two restaurants that are doing outdoor dining in our little downtown area. I try to alternate each FridayContinue reading “Day 144 — Friday, August 7, 2020 or what a nice Friday night surprise!”

Seriously, just how badly do I want to learn to paint? I’m always making little promises to myself that I’ll find more time to be creative. I have bins in my spare room closet filled with paints, glue, mosaic tiles and blank canvases. And that’s not even counting the baskets I have filled with yarnContinue reading “Day 143 — Thursday, August 6, 2020 or just how badly do I want to learn to paint?”
