Absence

For no good reason at all, I have been absent.  The past several months have not gone as I had expected/hoped.  However, after much though about blogging, I decided I am interested in rambling, and so this post is to put it out there that I’ll be making a few posts on updates we’ve done, […]

My job

On March 22nd, I lost my job.  Was I upset?  More than I thought I would be. After 10 years with the same employer, my position was made ‘redundant’.  The news of restructuring came to us on February 15th…that same day, two roles consisting of about 50 people, were eliminated.  The administrative assistants were to […]

Lists, lists, lists

As everyone, we have a lot of things we need to do in our house.  Things we NEED to get done and things we’d like to because it would be nice for the house and would make us happy.  We also have non-house  things we need to save up for. I find the easiest way […]

So mid December last year, Carlos and I were debating on whether to get new windows or get the fireplace insert we’ve been wanting for our fireplace. New windows would add a good resale value to the house, if we were to put it on the market (though there are no plans of doing this […]

I’m priming the kitchen pantry.  And trying to decide on a color for the walls!  I’m considering a blueish color on the walls and leaving the shelves/molding a crisp white. Carlos is searching what is causing a certain noise in his car.  Doggies all being lazy due to the weather…too humid! Soon we’ll head outside […]

Has anyone tried this chicken?  It’s so yummy and so convenient.  It’s great to make crispy chicken sandwiches, added in a salad or to make buffalo chicken. The best way, in my opinion, is the way my hubby prepares it.  This is what he does: Pre-heat oven to 450 Place chicken on bake sheet/pan Drizzle […]
