The days following January 1st are filled with people rejecting bad habits, discarding unwanted clutter, throwing out perfectly good miniature trees and resigning themselves to making healthier decisions.

Long days call for good dinners
Saturdays - a day for sleeping AND getting things done! While the cat did not let me sleep in very much I did keep my eyes closed past my normal wake up call. Then I was off to the pool for some exercise, I did some grocery shopping and dropped off laundry and met a …
WIAW – back at work
My cat, like all cats, does not like to sleep at night, but boy does she love to snuggle and snooze in the morning. We normally put her in the bathroom at night so she is calm in a small space, but Monday night we couldn't catch her and she kept us awake most of …
Working Girl
I may be stuck at home, chained to my couch and slave to my aches and pains, but that does not mean that I am not working hard on my recovery or on my career. I have an arrangement with my boss to work on some projects from home that don't necessarily need to be …

TCOB
Taking. Care. Of. Business. With the help of a list. I'm a girl who makes lists. Loves lists. Eats and breaths lists. So Monday, you guessed it, I made a list. I wrote down recipes, listed needed pantry items and jotted down random ideas. Then I followed my list and made the emails and phone …
Pudding cup!
If there ever was a day to enjoy a pudding cup, monday was the day. I loved vanilla pudding as a kid and when I saw these in Whole Foods the other day I couldn't resist. Already by lunch I needed a pick me up and while a beach-side vacation would have been ideal, I …
