Happy Hour Chatter

I am not! I really realized it today when I was discussing the fact that my Android phone loses it's battery power so quickly while at work.  My friend, a "techie" says to me, "You need to get the AC adapter with the USB port on the end, then you can just plug it in to the USB port on your computer and let it charge all day." I was like, "Really?  I didn't know they made one like that."  He was like, "oh yeah, it works great."  So I'm like.."Kewl...I'll save a copy of this text (yes, I DO text!) and take it to my phone store and pick one up. As I'm sitting at my desk ruminating over the text conversation, it dawns on me that I have an AC adapter.  I go and get it...and imagine my surprise when I pulled off the end and discover....a USB port!  I texted him back and said, "don't laugh at me!  Promise??!!"  then shared my discovery with him. He was nice  (Thanks Brad!) and didn't laugh at me...(...

I don’t know how any of you feel, but here’s my thoughts:    it’s freakin cold outside!!   I’ve been snuggled up to my heater (that’s under my desk) all day long.   I’m even seriously considering buying some of those fashionable gloves with the fingers that can come off. (Remember, Madonna used to wear them?!)  Seriously!  I would even pay to have a hot flash right now!! J Supposedly the building has a state-or-the art heating and cooling system.  Right! I think they forgot the heating part because it’s 60 degrees in here 12 months out of the year!  If this is a prelude to what winter is going to feel like, I’m moving SOUTH!  Anyone have any good beachfront property they want to rent to me?  So, now that you’ve listened to me whine just a little bit… how the heck are you doing?? Me?  I’m doing good.  I’m listening to my favorite DJ on the radio (...

I hope everyone is having a Fabulous Friday!!  I can tell you this – I haven’t met a Friday yet that I haven’t liked!  J   Today I indulged in my “once in a while” guilty pleasure; a chocolate chip muffin!  Oh my gosh!  It was freshly baked and still warm.  Coupled with a piping hot cup of New England Blend Coffee, well let’s just say it was pure ambrosia!!  If truth be told, I only had ½ of the muffin as I didn’t want to sabotage my weight loss efforts too much.  Yes folks, you heard correctly.  Once more, I am watching my weight…go up, and up, and up.  ~L~  Seems that when I give myself permission to eat on special occasions (such as my birthday), I go for the gusto!   Indulge in caramel rolls, pizza – with extra cheese – Mike’s Hard Lemonade (several of them!) and I find myself up 4lbs on the scale.  I know, what WAS I thinking!!! So now I get to spend even MORE time at the gym than I normally have been and I...

Good Morning Peeps!!!  I hope all is sunshiny in your world, because it certainly isn’t outside! L If you haven’t visited my yoga blog in a while, you may want to do so today . http://www.betterlifethroughyoga.blogspot.com/    I posted some information regarding events happening on Friday night and Saturday morning.  What else is going on?  Not much.  Well, that isn’t entirely true.  I seem to be running at Mach1 speed these days.  I’m looking to downshift in to low gear any day now!  (lol).  That day may just be when the snow is on the ground and I don’t want to go out in the cold.   Now, you may be thinking…”How can she be looking forward to winter?”  I’m NOT…..I just need to slow it down a little bit so I have time to breathe.  When the weather is nice (relatively speaking) and the sun is shining, I feel the inexplicable need to be doing something!...

Good Morning Everyone.   At 11:48 am – 48 years I go – I entered this earth.  Today is my Birthday.   While I do not necessarily look forward to advancing my age number each year, I do look forward to the yearly celebration of my life.   This year has been no exception.  I’ve been blessed with wonderful family and friends who have truly made this day special once more by wishing me a Happy “Birth Day” through emails, text messages, Face book greetings, phone calls and hugs.  And – yes - even gently ribbing about my age. J  I’ve heard a song recently that pretty much describes me and outlook on my life.  I hope you enjoy the words and can envision me in them.   Sherry My Best Days are Ahead of Me – By Danny Gokey Blowing out the candles on another birthday cake Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes Young enough to look at the future and like what I see M...

Oh this is a riot!  I received this little gem in my mailbox and couldn’t resist sharing with all you blog stalkers out there.  Now, for those who know me (and know me well), you KNOW how much I love wine!!  (Haven’t met a bottle I haven’t liked yet!).  This tickled my funny bone!  A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought  she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive, and  invincible.....               ...
