This morning I had to make a quick run to the local discount store because I had a washing machine full of soggy clothes and no laundry detergent. Oops! While I was there I heard a snippet of the song “My Way” that has been recorded by many people over the years, mostly famously Frank Sinatra. Since my brain loves… Read more »
I am taking part in a 6 week team building training class at work. Today we talked about different personality types and how to work with people who are different than you and we took a personality test. One thing that was cool about this particular test that there were two parts to it- one for your work personality… Read more »
I am currently (hopefully) recovering from a bout with viral gastroenteritis. I will spare the gory details but let’s just say the highlight of my day so far as been that I have been able to eat a handful of crackers without any major ill effects.

I have said many times, and I will say it again- I consider myself to be a moderate, independent voter. Neither of the… Read more »
Tomorrow night my favorite season officially begins- FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!! (What? You were thinking of something else?) Yes, it’s the magical time of year when everything is possible and even the Detroit Lions are still in the playoff hunt! I love it! For the next 4 months on any given Sunday you can find me on my couch yelling… Read more »
I am half dead (or feel like it anyway) with a sinus cold but there are 2 things I just had to say: #1 Those are NOT my feet in my last entry. I pulled that picture off the internet!! #2 Why is it that the more TV channels I have the less there is on??
