In a few short weeks the hubster and I will be celebrating 14 years of marital bliss, ok maybe they haven’t been all blissful but it’s been more or less a good ride. In the 16 years that we have been together, what started off as an awkward friendship has blossomed into him truly being my best friend. We are …
If you follow me on twitter, last week you may have caught my mini hair drama or crisis. I woke up last Friday and pretty much decided most of my hair had to go. I was tired of the struggle, the time and the worry. Sure I was scared that to go as short as I did back in 2000 …
I must admit blogging was not on my to-do list today, I am short staffed at the plantation since my trusty employee wanted to go on vacation…gee, imagine that a vacation? Seriously he is a good kid and still young enough that his parents include him in on the family vacation, maybe next time I should suggest he bring his …

That said while this started …
This post is for a few folks who asked me about some recipes I had mentioned recently. For new readers, I don’t talk a great deal about it since I am always running my mouth about something else but cooking is one of my hobbies. Living in Maine in fall it also means apples galore! We recently picked quite a …
Happy Hump Day folks! I think today I will pass on sharing any deep thoughts but did want to acknowledge that I have done some housekeeping around the blog. Gone are the Blog Her ads, my relationship with the Blog Her network was a mismatch and we said our goodbyes. Sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side then …
