The birthdays of my two Scorpio best friends, and another precious new friend who also happens to be born under the sign of Scorpio are over, but my search for one of a kind birthday gift ideas does not end there.

I’m back, yes, I’m so back but it’s tough. My writing mood comes and goes, and when it’s there, I seize the moment. It’s exactly what I did a few days ago, when I finally updated my other blogs.

It’s good to be back! Nonetheless, I must admit that I really don’t know where to start. Be it online or in real life, it’s been tough. It didn’t help that I had the first Mother’s Day ever without my Mom. For this comeback post however, I will make it as short as can . . . → Read More: Thank You

The past three weeks had me worried and stressed out. With my Mom finally discharged from the hospital yesterday, I can now rest and put my worries behind.We’re all hoping that she’s going to get better and be more compliant with doctor’s orders.

75% Is Good Enough

I haven’t done one of these in a long time. Just because I had time to do so, I went ahead and answered this quiz. I’m hoping that we will never experience another great depression, but should it happen it’s good to know that I can somewhat survive it. That is, if the analysis . . . → Read More: 75% Is Good Enough

Java Chip Frap, Please

It’s been freezing all day yesterday, but my trek to Long Island was inevitable. As soon as I hit the parkway, it didn’t take long and there was the traffic. It was a harrowing stop and go for two hours for what would have been a 20 minute drive sans congestion on the road.
