uggh
I have been sick for the past week.  I have a virus that I just cannot shake and now Don has it too.  It started in my head as a cold, moved to what felt like a sinus infection until I bought a Neti pot and really started flushing out my sinuses [...]

Hello Weekend

Well, things are back to normal at the homestead.   Rye had a good rest of the week, as did the rest of us.  Don and I went to a Christmas party last night and it was the first time in I can’t even remember when I dressed up in a skirt, etc.  It was a [...]

We Made It!

It’s been a while since my last post but we made it and we are all in one piece!  Holy cow, though, what a long drive.  And we were pooped x100 by the time we got here.  I think we went through 11 states in all.  My favorite?  Montana.  Montana is spectacular.
So, we are here.  [...]

Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central: Review

Oh my gosh, did you by any chance see this last night?  I’m guessing if you had anything better to do at all you didn’t.  But for me, Rye was in bed with a cold and I was up late bored so I watched it.

Here are my thoughts:

Heading Out West

Yuppers, we are moving.  From East Coast to West Coast. All the way.
Why are we moving?  Well, Don got his dream job and is already there and loving it.  And I really miss the West Coast, the way of life out there, my friends from growing up there, etc., etc.  So, off we go!
To say [...]
