It is hard to believe that this is my last blog for 2015. This year really flew by. Does anyone else find that as you get older the years go more quickly? When I was young, I remember vividly how September felt. At the beginning of each school year it was nearly impossible to imagine that June was just around the corner. It always was. As ti …
I saw a news report recently about an artist whose business is making bracelets. Each bracelet consists of colored string tied to a circle upon which a single word is imprinted. You choose the word and the artist imprints it onto the bracelet. Turns out it isn’t easy to pick one word that has significance, important enough to look at every day. …
There has been a lot of talk in my house recently about sleep habits. Most people I talk to complain about not getting enough sleep. Here is the debate though. Television or no television? I need the distraction of mindless television to take my mind off a long day. The men in my house would say the same thing, although I am reasonably sure i …
I sat down to try to write another blog but just could not. Friday night Bill was out with friends and my son and I had a “mother-son” dinner. [Bacon wrapped steak and a boulder blossom at Boulder Creek, his current favorite meal]. We were together as the events in Paris were being reported. We watched together and talked. He was intently in …
Facebook Moms that is. There is a phenomenon going on out there on Facebook. It is called the Moms groups. I have heard about this craze from a number of different places and decided to join two local Facebook Moms groups. Wow. Powerful on so many levels. One has advertising rules (Sunday and Wednesday only). Both are resources for sourcing do …
I do not understand the sneaker mania craze. A few years ago, I blogged about a Sneaker Expo that my son and his friend attended. Recently, however, sneaker mania leapt to new levels in my house. A few weeks ago, my son asked if I still had the box for a pair of sneakers he had outgrown about a year ago. I did. He still had the sneakers. "Why do …
I admit that I don’t watch much television anymore. It’s just hard to find the time to commit to a regular series. There are a few that call me, but honestly not all that much. The Big Bang Theory, however, is one of my favorite shows. First, it accommodates my schedule. I can watch an episode nearly any time the television in on. Second, I enj …
Amongst my friends I admit that my husband I take frequent selfies. Amongst my friends I also admit that they are mostly pretty awful. My kids run the other way when the camera comes out because apparently we are embarrassing. This past weekend, we reached the epitome of selfie embarrassment. On two different occasions, we were attempting to ta …
I asked my daughter this afternoon what time she had to “be in laden”. My husband asked me later, “Am I bringing you pizza?” Hint: Although I really like pizza, I was at work and he was heading to pick up my son. I asked my sister “What’s new?” and she said “Nothv”. And of course, I can never ever text “Oy” because it invariably ends up …
Around the dinner table last night, we were talking about family tree. My daughter recounted a story we had not heard before. Last year, she went on a trip to Israel where the group participated in an exercise about heritage. The question was how far back in your lineage do you find the first immigrants to the United States? As each g …
