Today has been a spectacularly rough day for me. So for dinner, we decided to have a treat and have pizza from our local pizza place – Eudici. Whenever possible, I order online.  That way there is no confusion about what I ordered.  No misheard (or miswritten) orders. I place my order (online) for a…

I was going to get the laundry done this weekend. I was going to get the laundry done on Saturday (instead of Sunday), just because I wanted it done and out of the way. First load was a single bath sheet.  It’s not easy to get towels to unstink, so I wash them separately.  A…

We have been living in Michigan just over a year, and these past couple months have been even more of an adventure because we are seeing all the shit that goes on with our yard that the previous owner kept cleaned up so we were totally unaware. Like these mounds of weird strings of seeds…

When we first moved back to Michigan, I got my dear husband hooked on Diet Vernors.  For those few uninitiated out there – Vernors is Michigan’s version of ginger ale.  It’s delicious and the diet version is almost indistinguishable from regular. Recently, I got a wild hair, and picked up some diet Faygo.  I wasn’t…

We have a pet bunny rabbit – almost. For some reason, one of the little fuzzy hoppers in our yard has become enamored with spending time on our front porch. How cute is that? (Warning, if you come to our house, don’t eat any brown jelly beans you find on our welcome mat.)

I am not terribly computer savvy.  I don’t stink at computers, but there is a shit-ton that I simply don’t know/understand. I am mostly okay with this, because 99% of what you need to know can be found on the internet. What you can’t find on the internet is how you, somehow, no longer have…

Much to my surprise, only recently, I learned that we had three chicks in our front-door-wreath nest.  Not two.  This makes me happy because I knew there had been three eggs.  I was afraid one egg either didn’t hatch or got tossed out of the nest. But no.  One was being very wily and keeping…

What do you do when it’s May/June? It’s kind of Spring. It’s kind of Summer. Hope you approve of my solution to my quandary. (Actually, I don’t care one way or the other, I just like it and it makes me giggle a little.)

I keep checking out nearby places as I slowly (but surely, and don’t call me Shirley) explore our neighborhood. The other day, I was on my way home from Golden Guild rehearsal, and I remembered that I needed some cream. Just cream. Our local supermarket doesn’t always have quart sized containers of cream, so I…

First, let me tell you that I am fine. Second, once you have had cancer, you are never “cancer-free”.  You can be in remission, and it may never raise its ugly head again, but cancer is the gift that never stops giving (or at least trying really, really hard). Today, I went for my first…
