I was lucky enough to babysit mp (Mini-Pookie) while her parents took a quick trip to Monterey a couple of weekends ago. Me and mp had so much fun…we did ring-around-the-rosey about 400 times, danced (A LOT), decorated cupcakes, and did educational exercises (ie. puzzles). From the looks of Pookie’s text message the other night,Continue reading “I’m Puzzled”

Happy Thanksgiving!
I have so many things to be thankful for…I had the best Mom in the world. Even though she is not with me physically today, I feel her presence and carry her with me always. I am also blessed with an amazing Dad, the MOST wonderful family, great friends, my health, a job I enjoy,Continue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”
Smoking Bandit
It is with great relief that am I able to do a blog post tonight. I was nearly chopped into tiny, little pieces a mere 20 steps from my apartment this morning. (That might be a slight exaggeration). As I turned the corner from Washington onto Polk and walked about 5 steps I suddenly feltContinue reading “Smoking Bandit”

I thought it was meant for the lady of color in the apartment above me, but no…it was addressed to me. For thoseContinue reading “Yo, yo, yo…Folkies!”
Stop, drop, and fried rolls
No, I am not on fire, but after having a few meals in Memphis last week that was the only way I was going to get anywhere…by rolling myself out of the restaurant. I was in Memphis for less than 48 hours (quick work trip), but I did manage to get a taste of things…Continue reading “Stop, drop, and fried rolls”
Fall back
I cannot believe someone walked in front of me while I was secretly snapping a picture of Father Time! Grrr…I will work on getting a better photo over the weekend. I assume he’s showing his face to acknowledge that Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday at 2am. It looks like he rang in our return toContinue reading “Fall back”
Giants!
While the SF Giants were on their way to clinching the World Series I was in Memphis for work. I can’t believe I missed all the mayhem that ensued on Monday after the Giants won the game! Although, truth be told…the mayhem would have kept me up all night and I would not have beenContinue reading “Giants!”
