From the Outside Looking In…

This evening I had the opportunity to host coffee with a friend. No, I am not referring to the second window salesperson who tried to sell windows at more than double the price as Sears. Yes, someone actually quoted me a sale of a window for two thousand dollars each – and he [...]

And for a thousand dollars, you can buy it.  I had two representatives from Sears come over to give us an estimate on replacing five out of the six windows in the bedrooms on the second floor.  The cold and wind have helped me realize exactly where the drafts are coming from so without a [...]

Dinner. A concept familiar to most, but the idea of sitting down after preparing a meal of my own choosing has been something I was only able to enjoy on days off. With this new job placing me in a more ‘normal’ working schedule, I have been able to prepare a home cooked [...]

I finally did it. I am swifferized. After using this amazing little dust picker-upper in Cambridge a few times I decided it was time to get one for the Cheverly house. After doing some work errands I had some extra time on my hands and went grocery shopping. I am amazed [...]

If the American Idol first elimination round and a Project Runway reunion show weren’t enough moments for excitement, I witnessed the Lunar Eclipse last evening and even took a photo or two. Luckily we had a clear sky and I easily noticed the eclipse after stepping out of the front door of our home [...]

Get it? It’s a play on the phrase “There’s No Business Like Show Business…” Ah, nevermind.
