A Truly GREAT Day!
Posted on 18. Apr, 2008 by Deb.
Today I attended the 66th Annual Doolittle Raider’s Luncheon, which was held at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. Of the 80 men who made the first WWII strike on Japan’s homeland, 11 of the gents are still alive and 6 of the men were there today. At my table were Col. Jimmy Doolittle III, Jimmy Doolittle’s [...]

The Smell of Fresh Paint
Posted on 17. Apr, 2008 by Deb.
The painter guy just arrived. He is doing all the prep work so that he can paint Kid’s room. I really want to have the rest of the house painted as well, as it’s been at least four years since it was done, but kid’s room needs to be done first as I think it’s [...]

I struggled to wake up this morning a couple of times. Once when I heard Kid in the shower…and through my foggy dreams…I thought it was the sound of rain outside my windows. That was about 5:30 or so…..but I couldn’t get up as the bed seemed to be sucking me down into the mattress [...]

tales of the day….
Posted on 14. Apr, 2008 by Deb.
I just watched the (downloaded) finale for the mini-season of Dirt! It was good, but overall, was anti-climactic. I guess I was expecting a bit of a cliffhanger like last year…..but, to be honest, it was more on the sweet side. I got an email tonight from the youngest kid. The title of the email [...]

Well then….

I remember Melissa saying something about the updated version of WP (2.5) and it being different….and it sure is. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I like it. I guess I am a creature of habit and the previous interface was all kinds of comfortable like a favorite pair of shoes…or maybe that black [...]

When talking to the girls about the doctor visit, Em immediately told me that I needed to eat Cheerios. Research has shown (and of course the advertisers picked up on) oat bran helping to lower cholesterol. I did some research, and yes, according to the Mayo Clinic, eating Oatmeal (or Cheerios) daily will help. [...]

I had mentioned the other day that life being what it is….we have the occasional reality check. Then a week later, came the call that my cholesterol was elevated, and we set an appointment to discuss it. today’s appointment was pure torture. Incredibly high cholesterol. Weight way too high. Waist too large. I don’t eat [...]

what to do when your first choice for comfort is food…and food is now one of your biggest stresses? Good heavens. More later when I get my head around things……

Posted on 10. Apr, 2008 by Deb.
Spring is very much in the air. We are experiencing the weather disturbances that happen….but also the incredibly beautiful days as well. Home was 85 and sunny when I landed. I changed from my jeans and sweater to a skirt and sandals. I had lunch with Miss O, picked up kid from school, and then [...]
