Recently Pat and I took a trip to California- the Hollywood/ Burbank area of Los Angeles to be exact. And yes, we had a great time even though we managed to be in town during an unusual heat wave- 90+ degrees every day is a little warm for my tastes! People frequently say that California is like another country. And,… Read more »
If you’ve been on the internet for more than 5 minutes you’ve noticed that there is a lot of finger pointing going on between generations. The Baby Boomers ruined the (insert resource here). Millennials are ruining the (insert name here) industry. Gen Z doesn’t understand (insert topic here). If you are observant, you’ll notice that one generation is almost never… Read more »
Several years ago I did a post very similar to this one (hence this one called 10 MORE things). I thought since a lot has happened since then it was high time to do it again! #1 I am a very cheap date. i.e. I cannot hold my booze at all. A couple White Claws and I am under the… Read more »
One the things I discovered while spending so much quality time with my house in 2020 was a few YouTube channels that I still watch, including Mr Max TV and Randy Santel (check them out if you haven’t already). As much as I love writing, and yes, I will continue to do so, I wonder if the occasional vlog post… Read more »

There is nothing quite like writer’s block. All week long I have had all kinds of ideas that I was excited to write about. I didn’t jot them down anywhere because they were SO GOOD that there was no way I’d forget. Yet here we are. I’ve been staring at a blinking cursor for WAY longer than I care to… Read more »
Maybe it’s because I work indoors. Maybe it’s because I carry around a few extra pounds. Maybe I was born this way. Whatever the reason, I do NOT do well with high temperatures. I get light headed and sometimes even nauseated. I get REALLY grumpy. I smell like a sock that has been used for an entire year of middle… Read more »
So I’m a couple days back from my trip to Duluth and I had a great time. The weather was good, I found a couple new great places to eat, and it was all around a good time. The day I left my husband posted that I had just left and a few jokes about what he was going to… Read more »
By the time you are reading this I will be a couple days into my vacation back in my happy place – Duluth Minnesota. Yes, I’ve been there a bunch of times but that’s kind of the point. Please see https://beckypalmer.wpengine.com/why-duluth/ for my thoughts on why I keep going back there. And yes, I am going alone again. This… Read more »
I’m finding it difficult to concentrate today. Why, you might ask? Because today I am on the Hot Flash Express and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. I don’t know why they come in waves, but mine do. I’ll go weeks without a one and then for a period of time you could fry an egg on… Read more »
