While this weekend blew the no-spend challenge, it was much needed. Last year, Pete won a Visit Erie package at the Home Show. It included an overnight stay, several gift certificates and some other goodies. Well, as is always the case, things got crazy and we didn't get a chance to use the package until this weekend. Only the coldest weekend ( Read more... )

I promised an update like 4 months ago.  Oops.  Life has just been nuts lately.  Work has been busy and I thought summer would slow me down.  If anything, I've been more busy.  I'm enjoying a quiet evening at home while Petey has wings and drinks with old high school friends.  I have reviews to write, but I should say hi, right ( Read more... )

I hope I will be able to find stuff to talk about every day on here.  Today's topic is being off for vacation and getting sick!  I think I may have gotten the dang flu.  All I can say is that it SUCKS !!!  Hot, Cold, achy everywhere!  Ugh.  I have so much stuff I wanted to get done yesterday and today since I had the vacation time and we just put ( Read more... )

I apologize to "certain people" that this won't be much of a picture post ;) If you check out the link in my last post, those pics could keep you busy for a while. Okay. I'll give you one picture :) Of the beach. We got to go to the Pacific Ocean while on vacation. It wasn't a great day to go to the beach, but I love the beach and it was ( Read more... )

I've been trying for a week to put our trip into a blog post and I figured the way I write?  Not happening.  So let's see if I can just give you a quick idea of how much fun we had and how much we saw...(this is probably going to be a couple of posts....)

I have a ton to write about from the past 11? days, but, we're home, in one piece. Thank goodness. But I fully plan on getting on the phone to a specific airlines either tomorrow or Tuesday... Let me tell you about our day ( Read more... )

Looking back, it looks like i haven't done a real update in a while.  That might be because no news is good news, but that isn't the case.  Life has been utterly chaotic lately, between family things, working on quilts, doing book reviews, etc.

Maybe I don't have all that much to write about.  I've posted the important news.  Our new neice, Pete's ( Read more... )

This describes my ROTR experience perfectly on Day 2 :)

We got up a little late on Sunday because we didn't really care if we missed the first band on the main stage (Five FInger Death Punch).  We took our time getting ready.  Plotted breakfast/lunch and tried to decide what to do about needing cash.

We ended up eating at a pizza place called Donato's.  Now the funny thing about Donato's was that they ( Read more... )
