Thanksgiving is a great tradition, what with long weekend, the family, the food and the friendship. It’s also the best season of the year – leaves are falling, there’s a chill in the air, and everything feels just a little bit more romantic. Unless of course you’re diagnosed with Strep Throat and a middle ear
Last May, my mom moved to DC. She got a new job with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. It was an opportunity she couldn’t turn down, so just a few months after Mike and I moved to Hampton Roads, she relocated three hours north. Mike and I went to visit early in the summer. He’d
We got quite a bit of snow this winter – two storms with about 6 inches and several days of minor accumulations. The pups love their snow days, almost more than I do. During one of the storms, our fancy pine tree got overloaded and one of the branches snapped. Other than that we didn’t

In South Carolina, you only have 90 days to get your SC driver’s license after you move to the state until they start hunting you down and threatening you with jail time. And since I
My mom is in NOLA on a business trip, but yesterday she might’ve indulged in a little more pleasure than business. Here are some of the texts she sent me: “Mam goin crazy in NO. 2 Glasses of wine already. Lol.” to which I responded, “Lol who are you with?” “A bunch of guys I
So, I’m moving to Asheville. I use the term “moving” loosely, it’s really more like temporarily relocating since this is only a 4 month deal. Temporarily relocating is a hassle. Mainly the finding a place to live part. This is what I’m looking for: 1bed/1bath apartment in or near downtown, (preferably north or west), fully
I recently had to go to the doctor. Nothing major. They just needed to run some tests to determine why I have such a high IQ. You know how it is. Anyway, while I was there I was reminded how much I loathe waiting rooms. I get my impatience from my mother, and let me
