Time To Play

I know very few adults who wake up and jump out of bed with a ton of energy. Personally, I get up and need a cup of coffee in order to get the day going. My daughter, however, always seems to be up and ready for the day as soon as she gets out of … Continue reading Time To Play →

Hardly Prepared For The Real World

I have made it no secret that Math (Algebra in particular) is NOT my best subject. I did poorly in my high school algebra classes. Yes, I did pass the college Algebra classes I had to take, but it was harder than I could have imagined. It didn't help that I hadn't looked at an … Continue reading Hardly Prepared For The Real World →

Time Well Spent

Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent →

Bad Coffee?

I've been drinking coffee for a long time. I have gotten to the point where I know which brands I like and which ones I don't. I very rarely stray from them when I am home. While I tend to prefer certain flavored coffees, when it comes to just plain coffee, I get Tim Hortons. … Continue reading Bad Coffee? →

Too early …

They are doing a big upgrade at work this week. Because of that, I'm on days for part of the week. In order to be here at 6am, I had to get up at 3am. I haven't done that since I did a morning radio show on a daily basis!! At least when I did … Continue reading Too early … →

I have sleep apnea. I sleep with a CPAP machine. With it on, my apnea issues are resolved and … Continue reading Darkness and a Laugh →

Coffee Sweetness

The Old Favorite A couple years ago, I blogged about my favorite holiday coffee blend. The Coffee Beanery has a seasonal coffee that comes out right around Thanksgiving that I absolutely love called Cinnamon Holiday Blend. I usually try to buy a few bags throughout the holiday season and get enough so that I can … Continue reading Coffee Sweetness →

Hurry, Spring!

After the HUGE dumping of snow we got a week or so ago, in typical Michigan fashion, we've had some warm weather recently. Most of the snow has melted away. The other day, we actually went to the store and didn't have to wear a coat! Walking in Sunshine! We have a small house. Ella … Continue reading Hurry, Spring! →

What a wacky dream…

Dreams are funny. So was mine last night. The above is the cover of a journal you can buy off Amazon to write down your crazy dreams. I have often thought about keeping something like this on my bedside table. I actually had a weird dream last night and wrote it down. As you know, … Continue reading What a wacky dream… →

Yawn – I need sleep – or coffee

It's been an extremely long day for me. I was up early with Ella, had an appointment in the afternoon, and still have to go into work tonight. I'm sure that I'll be drinking plenty of coffee tonight! Another Milestone We've been trying to get Ella to sit up. Sam has been doing it with … Continue reading *Yawn* – I need sleep – or coffee →
