How can a lifelong football fan not look at the game schedule before signing up for a class? I guess this time happened because I signed up before the season started and who suspects a game on a Thursday night? So instead of watching my team lose their second game in five days, I was… Continue reading New Skill

Should Know Better
Right after I wrote the blog post about my awesome new pedometer, it quit tracking my marching-in-place steps. It started to behave again when I threatened to return it. After I wrote about having walked 500 miles (there goes the Proclaimers song in my head again) since getting my FitBit Zip, things started going wonky.… Continue reading Should Know Better
Anti-Tammy Cooking Show
As my regular readers know, one of my guilty pleasures is watching competition shows. Summer is my favorite time because two of my favorite shows run: The Next Food Network Star and Master Chef. With as much as I enjoy watching these shows (and Chopped!), you'd think I'd enjoy watching regular cooking shows. Not so much. There is… Continue reading Anti-Tammy Cooking Show
Life Changing
In the past, I've mentioned how I've been so busy I can barely breathe, much less plan. My life recently changed. I'm now in a new job with traditional hours. The effect on me was immediate. Now every week I have two days off in a row - Saturday AND Sunday. It feels like a vacation every… Continue reading Life Changing
Skewed Perceptions
The other night I was talking to DH2U about some changes in my professional life (more on this coming up soon!), when I started off saying, "I know I'm not that good at attention to detail..." He stopped me, "Yes, you are. Why do you think you work 14 hours a day? You have great… Continue reading Skewed Perceptions
Three Years Old
Three years ago tomorrow I launched this blog. That first post is still my favorite of all that I've ever written. It feels just as true to me now as when I wrote it - more than 300 posts later. In my first post I talked about how different my life was then versus five years… Continue reading Three Years Old
Library Escapes
I love libraries. They have become my thinking sanctuaries. Whenever I want to get away from my usual routine, I head to the closest branch, find a spot, and sit and think. I'm always quite amazed at how big a difference a change in location can make. Being away from my normal environment helps break… Continue reading Library Escapes
Passover Favorite
Every year at Passover I think I should try my hand at a cookbook of recipes for the season. I never end up doing it, but I still think it would be a good idea. I consider revisiting this idea part of my annual Passover ritual. I love this holiday, with all its food restrictions.… Continue reading Passover Favorite
Invention’s Mom
Last weekend, one of my friends held a birthday party with a theme: Shoulder Pads and Pleated Pants. No wonder I am still so stuck in the 80s - my friends are, too!!!! I love it! The price of admission was dressing up in one of those two (or both) items. Up until the night… Continue reading Invention’s Mom
Living Together
One of the submissions I received for my birthday guest blogger posts I thought would be better suited to mark a different special day. Two years ago this weekend, DH2U moved in with me. It violated one of my self-imposed rules (and we all know what I think of rules), but once again, breaking them was… Continue reading Living Together
