This evening we placed an order for Yats Cajun Food. Their meals are about as close to authentic one can get in our town. The food is good and the portion size is just about right. Plus you can’t beat the toasted bread that comes with each meal. The other day we ate at Noodles… Continue reading Take Out Pet Peeve

Ever have a hankering, nay, an overwhelming urge to rewatch a movie you haven’t seen in a while. A couple of weeks ago, the movie The Secret Language of Bees ran through my mind. This evening, while scrolling through Prime [correction, it was Peacock, not Prime], what should pop up but the movie that’s been… Continue reading Movie Was Calling

Our HOA Transition Committee meeting is in a couple of days. I need to do my homework to be prepared for discussion. One of the topics will be the CCRs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions). There has been a lot of chatter about the CCRs, both in agreement, and against, some of the items, such as… Continue reading Read the CCRs!

It was a morning of revisiting the Short North and memory lane, and an afternoon of traveling home. Although tired from the trip, there were still a few things to do. When I got home, I mowed grass before settling into making dinner. I had been planning on making meatloaf earlier this week, but it… Continue reading Meatloaf Tonight

Over the past few months I have had three bald eagles sightings. Throughout the course of my life, I had never seen a bald eagle in flight, and only really seen one while visiting a zoo. The first was in Iowa on my way to visit a dear friend. As I was driving along, something… Continue reading Eagle Sightings

The Performance Task presentation has been delivered. I think it went well, and there are four yet to come after me. As with most jobs, it will come down to who has the skills needed for the vision of the director. Good luck to us all. Every once in a while, I bring some supplies… Continue reading Dinner for My Mom

This evening has been a bit of a whirlwind. I’m going to visit my mom, other family members, and a friend this weekend. Since I rarely go empty handed, I’ve been rushing around trying to remember everything I want to take to her. I’ll also be stopping at Costco, so I had to remember to… Continue reading Performance Task 4th and Final Day

Finally, we have a new faucet for the kitchen sink. The old one was very low, had a separate sprayer (which stuck a lot, meaning we got wet when least expecting it), and just didn’t work for me in the way I needed it to do. The new one is higher up so I can… Continue reading Performance Task Day 3

Today I learned one should not use canola oil as a vegetable oil substitute in making brownies. It was an epic fail. The brownies would not cook through, would not hold together, and were, well, a mess. I had to throw most of the batch away and start over. It was a little lesson though.… Continue reading Performance Task Day 2

This week may have shorter than usual posts. I have a job interview on Friday morning, which should I be chosen, would be a promotion. I’m up against some fantastically talented colleagues, whom I wish the best of luck, as we all would bring different strengths and skill sets to the role. This evening, I… Continue reading Performance Task
