All Grown-Up?

I was struck by something funny the other day as my husband and I prepared our Easter dinner a day early for a change. Ready for my big revelation? I think that we are officially all grown-up now. How’s that for news? Not really news, is it? I realize that that statement may sound silly …

It Can Pay Off to Deny Yourself

Yum, yum, yum AND yum for my tum! I love chocolate! It doesn’t like me. It’s called acid reflux and if you’ve ever suffered from it, you know how brutal the symptoms can be. I’ve had to eliminate a LOT of tasty things from my diet as a result, which sometimes makes me sad, especially …

A Nibble Here and a Nibble There

One of my all-time favourite ‘chick flicks’ is, Thelma and Louise.

Words To Live By…

Oh gosh....this is just too darn funny!  For some odd reason, I managed to somehow hit the 'publish' button when all I had done thus far was to copy and paste today's word prompt link.  Talk about taking the day's word of 'Unfinished ' literally.  Yikes!  I must admit that I am still laughing as I …
