No, there aren’t any stores in this area that are geared solely toward emergencies. This is a post about inclement weather predicted and what I’m doing to take care of myself. Starting tomorrow afternoon, snow with accumulation is supposed to come into the area. According to WeatherBug, there will be 1-3″ of snow and sleet [...]

Remember when I posted information about the VitaMix contest? I just watched one of the finalists’ contributions and in my book, it’s a winner. In addition to its being a whiz-bang video, the entrants have promised to give all the proceeds (if they win) to the relief efforts in Haiti. All you have to do [...]

My Holiday Date Nut Balls have stirred up some interest so I decided I would put them and the Cranberry Salad in a post all by themselves. The balls are on the recipe page, too, and someday I’ll do illustrated recipes but not tonight. Holiday Date Nut Balls 1/2 lub medjool dates, remove pits (DUH!) [...]

With the holiday season already in full swing, shopping has begun in earnest. For some people (like me), it’s been going on all year. I see a deal and I go ahead and get it. No use to wait until the last minute and either miss it completely, have to pay more, or get slim [...]

I’m down to the wire. I’ve been playing with WordPress. Between my son-in-law’s help and my bungling around, I think we’ve made some progress. Last night’s time to bed was exactly one hour later than the night before. I slept in until 8 o’clock. Lazy, lazy! It was nice not to have to roll out [...]

I got to bed reasonably early last night but it won’t happen tonight. I’d eaten a hunk of coconut after I finished blogging to “bring me down”. I think it worked. I got into the bedroom at 10:02, finished brushing my teeth at 10:07, and was in bed, covered up, ready to go to sleep [...]

Let’s see…I need to go back to yesterday. I did my BodyFlex and a routine or two of the LSEs. I was half an hour late to work. Breakfast was a banana/peach/spinach smoothie. I took a walk around the buildings three times. The man from the Asian market called to let me know my coconuts [...]
