For whatever reason, I had it in mind to decorate our place for Christmas. It'll be the first time I've put any effort in decorating, aside from a Christmas wreath or a bouquet of evergreens. But this Christmas is likely to be my last in the condo, and I want to commemorate all the happy times I've been here by going ALL OUT. Haha. Or as all out as ( Read more... )

Two more women came forward today: Kristin Anderson, who alleged Trump molested her at a New York night club in the 1990s and Summer Zervos, a former Apprentice candidate.

It was a nice outing, and we've come home loaded with goodies, incl.  the vegan chocolate cookies I'm munching on right now. Plus, two containers of burrata cheese; each ( Read more... )

The last week has been a whirlwind -- a good one cuz I've been getting a lot of family time with my brother and his wife and my super cutie-patootie (but occasionally snobbish) nephew. It's been a lot of eating out and touristy, family-friendly attractions. Also a lot of driving around in Hijax and waiting at the lunch/dinner table for the kid to ( Read more... )
