Mixing and mingling

What an awesome week, first a three-day weekend at the lake with Mike and the family, then the Mix and Mingle last night and Dave Matthews Band at Fenway tomorrow! The Mix and Mingle actually turned out to be pretty fun, with some decent music by Rick Page and the Round-Ups and yummy food and [...]

Rain, rain, go away!

It’s hard to believe it was really just Memorial Day weekend since it’s cold and rainy outside. I sure hope summer gets here soon because I need to bask in the sun. I’ve always been a summer girl. As a child, I used to put my bathing suit on in the middle of winter and [...]

Over already?

I can’t believe the weekend is already over–it went by so quick! The top headline from the holiday: Seeing the Tonneson’s helicopter crash into Lake Winnipesaukee right in front of our house. Mike and I were sitting outside watching the helicopter land on Pine Island when a gust of wind caught it, slamming it into [...]

A must-read book

Last night, I finished reading an amazing book, “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett. Muzzy gave it to me a few weeks ago and I’m SO glad I read it. The book centers around Jackson, Mississippi, in the early 1960s where racial tensions are flaring up at every turn. The book’s main characters, Skeeter, Abileen, Minny [...]

Filling my soul up

What a gorgeous day! It’s sunny, warm and feels a lot like summer. I decided to take advantage of this lovely day by getting up early (5:45) and going for a run before work. I used to do this a lot last spring/summer and it was wonderful. Running through the neighborhood when it’s warm and [...]

Remembering memories

One of the best parts about having a blog or journal is being able to read old postings or entries and remember what happened at certain times. I love reading my old journals to remember my time in London because as much as I think i remember, there’s always stuff I’ve forgotten. So I decided [...]

Memorial Day aniticipation

It’s finally getting nicer outside, with 70 degrees predicted for later today and a whooping 80-plus for Thursday. This weekend looks to be shaping up well, too, and I can’t wait to get to the lake. Memorial Day is one of my very favorite weekends on Lake Winnipesaukee because it always feels like the start [...]

Weekend update

What a relaxing weekend! I got a lot of stuff done, including knitting like crazy in anticipation of my last class tonight, but at the same time, didn’t actually do all that much. I went to the gym twice (yay!), painted my nails, did laundry, went shopping with Mike, took a long walk, ate some [...]

Could I have been … anyone other than me?

“Could I have been / A parking lot attendant / Could I have been / A millionaire in Bel Air / Could I have been / Lost somewhere in Paris / Could I have been / Your little brother / Could I have been / Anyone other than me”–Dave Matthews Band
I once heard someone say [...]

Kate - Jon + the Entire Country

As some of you probably know, I used to LOVE watching weird TV shows on TLC. You know the ones I’m talking about: “The 10-Ton Man,” “The 500-Pound Tumor,” and “I Have Six Million Kids.” One of the shows I used to love watching was “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” a show about the daily [...]
