Today it was 104 on our thermometer in the back yard. That’s my goal weight . . .

I have been coming to the New Jersey shore long before Snooki or the Situation. Truth be told, I am old enough to be Snooki’s mother and at my Jersey shore a “situation” means your monthly visitor came early and you have to go to the drugstore for supplies. (Sorry…

As I’ve mentioned in previous blog entries, I love this country and I love that its birthplace is right down the road from my home. My new company is headquartered in Florida. I was given a laptop for work, and for security and bookkeeping purposes, every laptop issued has a…

I knew that when I got the new job and started immediately, with only 5 days between the offer acceptance and my start date, that I was returning to the work force in a rocket ship. But I don’t think I realized the impact of that on me until today….
