Getting what I need

On my way home from work I talked to my boyfriend.  I asked him if he could take Critter to cub scouts two weeks from today so I could go to an Orthodox Christian Women meeting that is being held at our Church.  He said yes.    He went with me to the den [...]

Friday night is date night

I love Friday evenings, especially when it’s my weekend with Critter.  Last year we would go to Leo’s Coney Island for dinner then watch a movie.  This evening, he wants to cook.  So, he’s making me Ham and Egg Hashbrowns and we’ll rent a movie – probably Fever Pitch.  Sometimes we play games.  Sometimes we [...]

Fabulous Friday?

Well, today marks the day of a very long week.  Critter is slowly getting back to his old self but asked me this morning not to pressure him anymore.  When I asked him what he meant he clammed up.  My tenure as president of the local medical librarian association went unacknowledged at yesterday’s meeting and [...]

My surreal life

My boyfriend recently bought a 1987 Mercedes 300sdl diesel.  Though it’s a fun car it has come with its fair share of used car issues.  Last Wednesday, while Critter was with his dad, the boyfriend and I went to run errands.  We got to our first stop and when he went to turn off the [...]

Looking for my blog mojo

Well, I fell off the blog bandwagon but good.  I’m thought the beginning of the school year and new routines will help me get my mojo back.  I’m shooting for 1-2 times per week.  Wish me luck!
Critter started 4th grade last week and he’s very excited.  He did very well in school last year and is [...]

Burned out

Last week was a “week from Hell” at work.  The department was short a staff member (vacation), which in and of itself would not have been bad except that we got almost as many literature search requests during that week than we did for the first three weeks of March.  All I did at work [...]

My son, the future Reader

I’ve been reading the daily Bible readings alound to Critter during Lent.  Friday he decided he wanted to read them to me.  He’s 9, in third grade.  My Old Testament is a KJV so I was a little unsure of how he’d do.  He did GREAT!  He has such a sweet voice; I felt as [...]

The silver lining

I subscribe to daily email “Happiness Booster” and this popped into my inbox this morning.  I was struck by the simplicity of it, as well as the fact that it’s so similar to my mantra of “Life is too short”.  Unfortunately, I don’t always practice my mantra.  It is so easy to get bogged down by [...]

TGIF

Thank goodness it’s Friday.  This week has really been rough and I’m glad it’s over.  I’m a bit numb physically and mentally and just want to sit back and relax this weekend.  Tonight Critter has a cub scout pack meeting.  The pack is going tobogganing.  It’s a tad cold for my taste but the activity [...]

Is it Friday yet?

I miss blogging but I have not had anything to blog about.  My urge to blog has finally overcome the silence in my head so here it goes.  You may end up reading a lot of nothing but it will be entertaining nothing.
The past few weeks at work have been busy.  Insanely busy.  The type [...]
