Happy 17th Birthday JP!

Wow . . . I can’t believe 17 years ago I had given birth to my first born.  Time sure does fly . . . that’s what JP’s god-mother, Rina said too!  This is one of my favorite pix of JP taken one July 4th at Baby K’s (Kit-Kat) parents’ house.  JP was 10 months [...]

Dog day afternoon . . .

After the hubs had taken Toby out for a walk this afternoon, within 30 minutes later I found Toby fast asleep on our fireplace hearth. The weather was very warm today so Toby found “comfort” by laying down on the cold tiled hearth. He ended up taking about a 30 minute nap while [...]

A beautiful “Autumn” day . . .

Bril and I just got through eating our lunch outside in one of the building’s courtyard. I brought my lunch and made a ham with provolone cheese on a “pandasal” bread. Like hamburgers & fries, I can’t have a sandwich without potato chips.

It’s too nice of a day to be working. [...]

Before getting ready to watch “Dancing with the Stars,” I decided to make myself an ice-cream sundae with slices of bananas!  Yummy!  So here I am  multi-tasking:  watching T.V., enjoying my sundae and blogging all at the same time.

If Toby could talk . . .

this is what he would say, “Mom, I don’t like my new hair cut! It’s too short! My head looks bigger than my body because of this cut. I used to be a cute puppy. Will my fur ever grow back?” “I don’t want to go back to that “groomer” [...]

Behind all the “fluff” is . . .

one scrawny dog.  (I was told by my co-worker that since Toby is still a puppy, he still has yet to “fill-out.”  Toby currently weights 7.5 lbs.)  This morning, we made it a “family affair” sans JP to bring Toby for his first “hair cut.” I was so desperate to have Toby groomed and couldn’t [...]

One very very long day . . .

Yesterday, AC had another one of her volleyball tournament. Since they won 4 out of the 5 games they played (a total of about 10 school teams), we were at the gym from 7:45 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. [I had to get my java fix in the morning so AC, her friend [...]

That was the winning raffle ticket number which I actually won! Yahoo! My co-worker and I attended this ergonomic workshop this morning and my “attendance” paid off because I won a gift card valued at 20 buckaroos for Landmark Theaters.  I was one of the three that had won.  I was surprised to win because [...]

We be bad . . .

after our meeting with Father NG yesterday evening, Jack, SM, RA and I finally got to try Barcardi Silver’s Mojito drink. I had emailed the gurls earlier in the day telling them that if I/we didn’t have to meet with Father N that evening, I would have gone to BevMo to buy the Mojito [...]
