Decorating with Sheryl 101

I love to watch home decorating shows.  I started out watching the British, BBC – Homes – TV and radio, Changing Rooms, and moved on to Trading Spaces. Design a Room : Trading Spaces : TLC
 
Both are off the air now, although they are probably seen in re-runs.  I have moved on to the Home [...]

It just keeps getting better and better!

I pick on husband quite a lot in this blog.  But, this morning there will be no picking as he has received yet more dire news.  As if twenty years of COPD was not enough!
 
We were hiking, out east, when I came down with flu.  It mostly consisted of a bad headache and exhaustion, but [...]

What do you look for in a mate?

Now that I am back lifting weights, I am back to reading a fitness blog. Happily Ever After ? Cranky Fitness is my favorite and the blogged linked to here is a great blog about choosing your life’s partner.  I am not sure what that has to do with getting in shape — Oh, wait!  [...]

He says he’s never going to the doctor again!

Husband has decided he is never going to the doctor again. 
 
He went to his GP yesterday morning so that he could get his ten medications renewed for the year and he walked out with fourteen prescriptions and pneumonia.   I told on him, that his cough was worse than normal and after listening to his [...]

Tasering my life!

It seems, sometimes, that the world just likes to taser us with a jolt of adrenalin.  Mine, as I have written about lately, usually comes in the mail as a highly inflated bill.  I shared some stories this week about my own personal “really high” bills, so I thought I would let you know the [...]

Totally Biased Film Review – The Visitor – Life is too short not to learn a lesson from this movie!

Sunday, I watched “The Visitor.” With that title, and all the movies that seem to be playing right now, I avoided it the first time it was on.  Ithought it was a horror movie. But, it was a wonderful movie.  The Visitor (2008) – Moviefone  has it listed as one of the 50 best movies [...]

I vent – Part 2

I have come to hate opening the mail. It is not just that bills come in the mail; it is that bills come in the mail that are obscenely higher than they should be.
In the month after my open heart surgery, I opened the AT&T land line bill (normally $30) to find [...]

This year is NOT turning out better: I vent – part 1

I do try to keep things light on this blog, but this past thirty days just sucks a big one, so I vent.
We are lucky, we have a roof (albeit a leaky one) over our heads. We have a home (although this may be the last month we have heat). Our [...]

Did you know that the CIA has a World Factbook?

I was perusing my ClustR Map and the bottom country, along with many other countries with one viewer each, was Macedonia. I was never a whiz at Geography. I think it had something to do with teachers whose sole function was to point to the next student in the row and say, you read the [...]
