What I know for sure

There will always be plenty of things I cannot control in life. My goal is to stop worrying about those things. (Easier said than done).
Consumer spending rose again in February for the 2nd month in a row after 6 consecutive months of falling. I’m glad to have helped.
I know I’m getting older when I [...]

Newspapers dying?

Note: I drafted this post last week, after I saw the USA Today article below. Then today, newspapers made the news again, this time on CNN, when the Ann Arbor News announced it will be publishing its last edition in July.
The newspaper business is not what it used to be. It’s losing money, losing advertisers, losing [...]

Getting back into the groove

Workout groove that is.
I tend to go in cycles where I’ll be really diligent about working out, then I’m lax for a few weeks…or months. I really hated how cold it was this winter, and that was part of the reason I never got to the gym as much as I should have. But now [...]

Wordless Wednesday

While I’m on a roll with posting, I wanted to share these pictures that I Kevin took of space shuttle Discovery’s launch on Sunday, March 15. We went down to New Smyrna Beach to catch the launch, as did several hundred others.

Shopping spree

Some extra work has allowed me some extra money lately (for which I’m so grateful),  so I went shopping with a friend this weekend. Can I just say that I am really loving all the bright, cheery spring colors?! Everywhere we went the clothes were nice and bright and crisp. I can’t seem to find [...]

Rock my world

A few things to be excited about:
Girl Scout cookies. It’s that time of year, and despite the economy, I was suckered into buying a box. Okay, 6 boxes. But only 3 are for me; the others are for Kevin. And I wasn’t exactly suckered. I seek these things out they are that good!
I’m now the [...]
