Happy New Year! I hope you had a terrific holiday season because 2008 promises to be a busy, fulfilling year. Here’s a glimpse at what we’re planning…

Between playing Santa and going out of town for my grandmother’s funeral in a few days, I’m going to take a little blogging break until the New Year.
Best wishes for a fun, safe and happy holiday week to all of you!
I have been lucky in my life in so many ways: one is to have grown up knowing all of my grandparents and two of my great-grandparents. Both of my grandfathers are deceased, and sadly my Mom’s mom passed away yesterday at the age of 93, peacefully. My grandmother had had a roller coaster of [...]
Well, it appears Chemistry is out of chemistry for me; they’ve exhausted their inventory of eligible men who meet my criteria — and those who don’t. I mean, if I see one more “match” with a 40-something guy who lives with his parents, or who wants to meet a “pretty country girl,” I’m gonna lose [...]
During my eye exam yesterday the nurse/technician/miscellaneous person who did some of the preliminary tests said, “Wow! You have such a difference in vision between your eyes!” (My left eye is -1.75, the right -3.50.)

I finally put up our Christmas decorations this past weekend — I say finally because everyone in this damn town had everything up and out in all its jolly glory exactly 3 minutes after the bastards finished stuffing their faces on Thanksgiving. I’ve never seen anything like it: we had neighbors who had their lights [...]
Remember the response I got from the guy on the online dating site who finally contacted me – with another email address at which to contact him? Well, late last week he responded to my chipper “hello, how are you” note at his preferred his email address with this:
Hi Susan. Thanks for the note. Just [...]
A few days ago I decided I needed to take back my health and begin making some healthy lifestyle changes — sort of a preemptive strike before the holidays hit in full force. I have this idea every so often — usually coinciding with the tightening waistband of my jeans (from too long in the [...]
