Saturday was an amazing day!
The morning was spent running errands with my husband, the noontime hour was spent sitting on my front steps reading a good novel, and the afternoon was spent having tea with friends.
Ahhhh…
Wait a minute… I don’t drink tea. I don’t like tea. What was I doing spending a Saturday afternoon […]
Today’s entry may fall in the TMI or “too much information” category. My apologies in advance. But it’s a concept I’ve been pondering lately as I rake leaves, climb on that dratted treadmill, and sort through piles of papers in an attempt to find my desk.

My pithy response to this person was: “I don’t know. I […]
Many people love and live by their “to do” lists. I happen to be one of them. But the truth of the matter is, that oftentimes I don’t do what’s on my list, I do other things and then add them to my list so that I can cross them off with a mightly stroke […]
During a presentation I gave yesterday morning, I shared the story of a luau-based celebration that took place where I work. The food was amazing and they had some luau inspired games for employees to participate in. One of the games was the limbo.
Typically I don’t participate in such activities. It’s not that I don’t […]
This morning I watched this week’s episode of the television show Hell’s Kitchen.
Warning: Stop reading if you watch the show but haven’t seen this week’s episode yet. I don’t want to spoil it for you.
This reality show focuses on wanna-be chef’s vying for the job as head chef at a fancy Las Vegas restaurant. […]
