Orange Man

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:04:03 +0000

What is your favorite color?

We seem to have our own fave color. For me, I tend to gravitate towards green. Not that I always pick green colored clothing or accessories, but the vibrant green color looks refreshing to me.

My husband is a different story, altogether. He loves ORANGE. And his love for this color is [...]

Grounded!

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:26:21 +0000

I’m grounded not by choice but by force! And it is highly likely that this will be through Saturday. New York is for the nth time getting clobbered with snow, and this time it is the heavy wet kind of snow. Meteorologists described this storm - a very powerful but unconventional storm with snow, rain [...]

Keeping Warm On A Frigid Saturday

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:09:17 +0000

It’s 4:00 p.m. and in as much as I wanted to head out to the spa I canceled my appointment. Why? It’s 18 degrees outside and I’m not in the mood to bundle up. Besides, I just got out of a nasty cold last week so I’m better off inside where it’s warm and toasty.

The [...]

Lucky Once, Can It Be Twice?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:15:36 +0000

Call me lucky, and I’m so happy that I won’t have to wait for next year after all to see my Gyno. On my previous post, I wrote about canceling my appointment because of the inclement weather that we experienced last week. Right in the middle of the afternoon today, I got a call from [...]

The Lone Survivor

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:19:01 +0000

My herbs in my garden are now wilted and all gone but one. Yes, I was able to save a pot of basil which is now lovingly perched in my kitchen windowsill. Not exactly, on my windowsill though, because the planter is way too large to fit. I know it’s going to be challenging to [...]

Juicing Up!

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:39:01 +0000

If there is any juice that I never, ever had to stock on, that would be orange juice. Not that I and my husband don’t love drinking OJ. I can drink OJ anytime, and any supermarket variety would do for me. It’s just that, my husband does not care much to drink pasteurized (store bought) [...]

Wise Picks

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:25:51 +0000

Unbeknownst to many is my passion for home decorating. Of course, by now for those of you who frequent my blogs, you already know my love affair with baking. Yes, I cook, I bake, I tinker around in my little garden during planting season, I paper scrap, and I run a household but I’m not [...]

Options Are Unlimited

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:48:16 +0000

In the midst of this recession, nothing can be sweeter than being made aware of available awesome deals online or in-store. And that includes not only our basic needs but also the many basic utilities a household needs.

Apropos, the ongoing sweet deal that Qwest high speed internet is offering. For just $19.99 a month with [...]

Lackadaisical Friday

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:49:05 +0000

With a very stressful day yesterday, I wanted to relax and just enjoy the day today. That meant getting out of bed at 12:30 p.m., took a leisurely brunch and a 3 mile walk in the company of Leslie Sansone here at home. Heading down to the gym was not even on my agenda. In [...]

Herb Garden

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:06:10 +0000

I couldn’t bear not to see any sign of life in our balcony this planting season. With an anticipated very hectic schedule this summer, I initially planned not to plant at all but the idea just didn’t agree with me.

Now, I have an abundant supply of cilantro and parsley. In fact, they seem to grow [...]
