Yep.  Workin’ Christ­mas Eve.
But that’s okay.  You know why?
I baked.  Cook­ies.  Lots of ‘em.  I made my tra­di­tional Fine Cook­ing but­ter cook­ies with rasp­berry jam fill­ing and frost­ing.  And choco­latey cook­ies sprin­kled with salt from Bar­bara Lynch’s cook­book Stir.  (Run, don’t walk, make these cook­ies.)  And the best tof­fee you will ever eat, ever.
That’s right– recipe links.  […]

This is a movie review– of sorts.  It’s also some­what sur­real– Magritte’s Treach­ery of Images, except instead of this not being a blog post or a movie review, ceci n’est pas ma vie, my life.  At least it’s not the life that I want.

Oh my God!  Did you hear?!? It snowed today in the North­east!  It’s going to snow more tomor­row!  And maybe even on Sun­day!  We might even get fif­teen inches before the weekend’s over!  Which is just over a foot, by my cal­cu­la­tion, but NO, it’s like a BLIZZARD or some­thing.  (Let’s humor me and stick […]

It was a good day today for a vari­ety of reasons:

I made it to my 8 am phys­i­cal ther­apy appoint­ment on time.
I got a park­ing space in the hos­pi­tal garage right.by.the.elevator!
I fin­ished PT in more than enough time to see my PCP.
My PCP looked great after some well-deserved time off.
My PCP agreed with my con­cerns about my migraine […]

You might won­der why the heck I blog so much. I mean, Danc­ing with the Stars is on! Well, I’ll tell you a secret. We don’t watch TV. No, really. Seri­ously! Don’t look at me like that…
It started out because we were just plain cheap. When the Bet­ter Half […]

I actu­ally liked some­thing in the Pot­tery Barn cat­a­log, the Westron Trunk. Bet­ter start look­ing at assisted liv­ing facil­i­ties.
