I don’t know if many of you are familiar with Michael Buble (pronounced boo-blay), but he’s a Canadian singer who has recorded a few CDs of well known standards.We (my honey, sis, and brother) attended his concert last night...and I just have to say he put on a really good show! (Here is a pic and info link): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00070Q7VO/102-7883096-7031340?v=glance&n=5174 He started off with an energetic song called “Feeling Good”...making a smooth entrance down some st...
I log onto Netscape news everyday to look at the latest goings on. The following article, dealing with Gingrich and "WWIII" has gotten so much attention over there, it's insane. It's been either the top or one of the top stories greeting me since yesterday. Over 700 comments and going strong. Link .
Several days ago a woman in Boston was killed when the car she was riding in was struck by a ceiling tile that fell from the Big Dig Tunnel. It was already known that this tunnel was in poor shape, but nothing had been done about it. Why does it seem that it always takes some sort of tragedy to get the ball rolling on solving a problem? You see this in other circumstances as well, such as the dangerous intersection that doesn't get attention until someone gets in a fiery car crash there,...
I got a slurpee from 7-11 today on the house...in honor of their "birthday". According to the cup, they've been around almost 80 years...wow.So maybe I shouldn't be too excited about this...only 7.11 ounces of the sweet slush was offered....but ahhhh...hits the spot on such a hot day. Maybe you can stop by and get yours, too.
It's only been a few days It's not like the sun has permanently faded away, Yet I feel the effect it has on my mood: The sluggishness, The bit of emptiness, The lack of spunk. Please peek out of the clouds...even if just for a bit of the day. Don't play games with me... Giving me a little glimpse, And then going off to find your hiding place amongst condensation. I'm not used to this. Oh, don't get me wrong. Rain is a beautiful thing. It quenches the the thirst of this hot a...
Nostalgia can be a beautiful thing. It allows you to go back in time and mentally re-live moments in your life. It brings smiles and laughter to your lips. It floods you with all sorts of good feelings. However, sometimes nostalgia can hurt me. I was playing some music last night...and it began to remind me of my family. My mood started out with smiles...but it soon turned sad, really sad. The music I was playing especially reminded me of my sister. When she was younger (from child...

My sunshine, my Digitthemost...he's gone for two weeks. So, here I am on the first bright, hot day of summer feeling like gray clouds are hanging over my head...yeah, yeah, how schmaltzy...but hell, I miss him. Hope he enjoys the time with his family, though...sly guy, he made it a surprise visit, so they are going to be ecstatic! They haven't seen each other in over a year. So, my summer may not be off to a great start, but his is, and I'm happy for him.
It's not even offically summer yet, and we have had several days of 100 plus weather here. Just a few days ago, we hit 106 degrees...yikes. My guy and I have been gulping down iced water like two frat boys chugging on a Friday night... I should thank my lucky stars that it has "cooled" down to the 90s today...Believe it or not, you CAN feel the difference...
My brother, sister, and I took our One and a half year-old niece out to McDonald's the other day. We are all only too eager to dote on her. None of us have children yet...plus she is the youngest of our nieces (literally the baby of the bunch). Anyway, as we are sitting there, our niece starts acting a bit naughty...throwing a few fries and napkins around, almost knocking over someone's drink on purpose, grabbing at my sister's digital camera...sooner than you know it, we all found oursel...
