Not Me Monday, 5th Edition

February 16, 2009 by Elaine

It’s time for another edition of “Not Me” Monday, hosted by the multi-talented, multi-tasker, mother of four, Mckmama! I did NOT panic a few times realizing that the hubs and I had NO dinner reservations for Saturday, after our museum outing. I did NOT thank our lucky stars when were able to walk into a…

Not Me Monday, 4th Edition

February 9, 2009 by Elaine

Monday has come back to bite me again. This time the sting is a little worse since my man will be out of town ALL week. UGH! Oh well, let’s help numb the pain a little by “Not Me”ing along with Mckmama, mkay? I did NOT rejoice when I got to sleep in a few…

Weekly Winners 2/8

February 8, 2009 by Elaine

February 1 – February 7 I’m cheating a little. Since I didn’t do a Weekly Winners post last week some of these are from the previous week as well. We had a little freeze a week ago Wednesday, after a small sleet storm, so a few of these were taken the following morning. The sun…

What DO I Do All Day?

February 5, 2009 by Elaine

Sometimes at night I will stop a while and take stock of what I do all day. Yes, there is some time spent on the computer. Obviously. But I do a lot of other things too. Here are just a few examples of things that might currently fit under my “job description.” Miniature Railroad Builder/Engineer…

Not Me Monday, 3rd Edition

February 2, 2009 by Elaine

Here it is Monday again. How’d we get here again so fast? Oh well, time marches on and one thing that makes the sting of Monday a little less painful is Mckmama’s “Not Me!” Monday! Here’s all the stuff I did NOT do last week. I DID NOT freak out just a little when the…

Will You Read My Random?

January 22, 2009 by Elaine

I’m sitting here watching a re-run of “Will and Grace” and missing the good ole days of “Must See T.V.” How random is that? Ok, so here’s the rest of my randomness for today. *I’m getting a little bored with the running. I still want to do it but sometimes I am running (since I…

Back to Books

January 20, 2009 by Elaine

I don’t read a lot. Ok wait. I do read quite a bit but most of what I read these days can be found within the four little corners of my wonderful laptop screen (that as I am writing this, my husband is trying to sweet talk back to life, so… so am I! Please…

Not Me Monday – 2nd Edition

January 19, 2009 by Elaine

Here’s my second attempt at “Not me!” Monday, hosted by MckMama! I did NOT eat too many mini buttercups from Trader Joe’s. Nope NOT me. I really did NOT forget where I was and start singing along to a Rihanna song on my iPod too loudly the other day while on the treadmill at the…

Grammar Shrammer

January 16, 2009 by Elaine

So I want to ask a short, but I am sure, loaded question. What’s up with our grammar on the world wide webby lately? I mean for the most part it’s pretty good but I guess I just get turned off by some of the “slang” that goes on around here in the blog world…

Christmas Meme

December 12, 2008 by Elaine

I got this from Holly at In My Over Active Head and I thought it would be fun. You should “play” along too! Let me know if you do! 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I do a little bit of both but mostly wrapping paper. 2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. Less expensive in…
