Seriously? Now our fair commonwealth is being threatened by a hurricane, too? What’s left? A volcano? I must admit that there is a bit of me that is excited at the prospect of a major storm. I’m just having trouble believing that all of these sorts of natural disasters (granted, the earthquake yesterday was not […]
Wow. I love bizarre headlines…and this one appeared online in today’s Boston Globe. I must admit, this is probably one of the last reasons I would expect for closing a barber shop in New England. Ah, it never ceases to amaze me what people will do in the name of religion. Anyway, life has been […]
It sure has been a busy month. It seems that we’ve been on the go non-stop since Memorial Day (when we went to Maine). Since then we’ve had 8 guests stay with us and got married. The wedding was great (though, this is probably old news to most of you who also follow on Facebook […]
Seriously? How the hell did a full month pass since my last post? Things have been a bit busy since then (though, admittedly not so busy that I coudn’t have posted). We went to Portland and Peaks Island, Maine, for Memorial Day weekend. The following weekend we had a guest from New York stay with […]
Does anybody else out there think that Harold Camping (the freakazoid crazy-man who “predicted” the rapture in 1994, then again May 21, 2011, oh, wait, now October 21, 2011) should be arrested? Here me out. If you cry “FIRE!” in a crowded theater, it’s against the law. Harold Camping has essentially done that. But not […]
Since I turn 40 next week I think I qualify as being old enough to rant. Besides, we even received an AARP magazine in the mail last week. Granted, it was addressed to somebody else and arrived in our mailbox by accident, but I know there must be some sort of higher power out there […]
Argh! So I was writing in jest about my cavity filling being major surgery last week. But now it truly does feel like major surgery – at least from a financial perspective. I received the pre-estimate yesterday from my insurance company (Delta Dental). Apparently the cavity (determined to actually be between teeth, so technically two […]
Ok, so I suppose most people wouldn’t call it major surgery…but I went to the dentist yesterday and learned that I have a cavity. But this is traumatic for me. I’m one of the few people that doesn’t hate going to the dentist. I suppose a major reason is that I rarely get cavities. In fact, […]
We’re back! OK, we’ve technically been back for 3 days. But I’m not sure I mentioned on here that we were going anywhere, let alone that we’d returned. A week ago last Friday we boarded a plane and flew to Minneapolis where we spent one night before catching our connecting flight to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. […]
After over a year of talk, we’re nearly finished with having hardwood floors installed. From the minute we first stepped foot in our townhouse to tour it with the real estate broker over 1.5 years ago, we said that we thought the upper levels would look better with hardwood floors versus the off-white carpet that […]
