Combination Oven/Refrigerator »

Can it be?  Is this a sign of the apocalypse?
It seems that almost everything on the television now pertains to cooking.  This evening, after coming home from a very long (but productive!) day at work, I turned on the boob tube and saw something I could not believe – a combination oven and refrigerator.
Yes, a [...]

I’m Tired »

Really, I am.  I got to bed late last night catching up on some reading and could not fall asleep.  The tv was off and my phone sat silent on the table next to the bed all night as I flipped through the newspapers and magazines that somehow piled up over the last two weeks.
When [...]

I plan on being a baking machine today!
I started this morning with a fresh batch of walnut and cranberry scones for breakfast.  It was my first attempt at making scones since all the times we made scones at home prior to today, T was the pastry chef leading the way.  I [...]

The Great Debate »

Allow me to blab, please.  I have been up since 4am and thought this would be a good way to go back to sleep…wrong! 
Did you watch or listen to the presidential debates last night?  I was glued to my television because I wanted to be sure to listen to each candidate’s responses to [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away! »

It has been rainy the last two days, each day just as rainy as the other.  I love the rain and enjoy sleeping in on a chilly, rainy day.  However, since I don’t have that luxury during the school week, it makes travel to and from work slower than usual and somehow influences student mood [...]

Back to School Night »

I am beat!
Over 14 hours at school today and at the end of Back-to-School night I just took my keys and left.  No briefcase, no calendar, no pads…just me, my keys, and a quiet ride home.
The evening was a success and filled with lots of praise for the good things going on at school.  Sometimes [...]

Google First, Eat Second? »

I have a great Filipina who teaches at my school.  She has been teaching for many years and with my honorary pinoy status proudly displayed in my office and in my lunch box each day, she has occasionally brought me a treat or two.  When T came to my school for Family Orientation in August, [...]

Everything’s Coming Up Roses »

You’ll be swell!  You’ll be great!  Gonna have the whole world on your plate!  Can you hear the music, people?  I know I can!  T and I made a trip to the NYC area this weekend and had a lot of fun.  We stayed at JH’s apartment in Staten Island, arriving early Friday evening.  T [...]

Heading North »

I am excited.  Why?  Because tomorrow I will be making a quick drive to New York City for a weekend away filled with friend-filled fun.  I am meeting up with T tomorrow night and we are going to stay at a friend’s apartment in Staten Island to be a bit more convenient as we have [...]
