We’re in the market for a new mattress. When we were deciding what to put into storage before moving a few weeks ago, our mattress didn’t make the cut. It was a great mattress when new- almost 20 years ago. Over the years though it has fallen into disrepair and our mattress was starting to …(Read More)

Wings or no wings? Mini, maxi or thong? Applicator or no applicator? Cardboard or plastic? Life has gotten really complicated since I was a teen. Back then, if you needed “ladies things” they came 1 way. In the 60′s my mom’s “needs” were actually delivered discreetly wrapped in plain brown paper by Jones Apothecary . …(Read More)
Yesterday Evelyn invited me to come do our laundry at her house. I reminded her that I couldn’t leave the pack at the Motel 6 while I was gone. “Bring them with you. They can stay in the yard”. It’s in the mid-70′s during the day now, so being outside, especially after being cooped up …(Read More)
Here I am still sitting at the Motel 6. Right now, Doug is speaking to his new boss at the Census. Everyone hired had to go in before starting work for a quick face-to-face. His face was due there today at 11am. I took the same test yesterday. I’m awaiting my score. Doug got a …(Read More)
My life has been so crazy lately that I haven’t really been in my usual routine- the Today show, CNN and USAToday.com. I didn’t even know that Tiger Woods had surfaced again and had a press conference. I was seriously out of the loop! Today I got to see about an hour of TV this …(Read More)
I’m a happy camper- well mostly happy that is. We got our pack from the kennel yesterday, only cost me $300. That was the best thing that’s happened to me in a very long time. They all had lost weight. (I guess that’s to be expected). To say that they were happy to see us would …(Read More)
I woke up at 5:15 this morning. I know for a lot of people that’s no big deal; but for me it is. I woke up with a headache and just couldn’t get back to sleep. (I think it’s all stress related). Brett called yesterday. He finally went to the ER and as I suspected …(Read More)
Doug and I went out today looking for a new (to us) place. Before we started out I had Amanda do an online search for us. In the zip code I wanted and the price I wanted their were 25 options. Three of them were actually two stories, not one; they were eliminated. Four of …(Read More)
Last weekend Doug and I stayed at two different Motel 6 locations, 1 in San Antonio, 1 in Austin. Everything was fine. Motel 6 is not the Ritz-Carlton as we all know. However, since they’ve started renovating their rooms, they are much improved. It’s not that it’s my favorite place. But when you’re working long …(Read More)
Well, I’m back home. I’m back at Evelyn’s house. Doug and I went to San Antonio last Thursday night to work for two days, then on to Austin to work at the kite festival. The event in San Antonio was new, but had promise. It was being held at Old Market Square, a popular tourist …(Read More)
