I love action movies. The running, jumping, car chases, explosions, the villain, the hero, the incredibly epic (or epically bad) banter between the two regularly makes for good entertainment.

Sorry i haven’t written all week. Monday was Thanksgiving and I woke up with a runny nose, sore throat, and every muscle in my body ached. Turkey day in our house was canceled sadly. I wasn’t in the mood or physically able to cook, clean, and then entertain. The usual tryptophan induced sleep was replaced… […]

I can’t believe how fast the leaves start to change colour, it’s only been a week and the once lush green leaves are now turning to rustic reds, oranges and yellows. The once balmy temperatures… […]
It has begun. I wake up at 6:30 am to make it to work on time. It is early but since I started working in the summer it wasn’t too bad. The new day always greeted me with the sun streaming through my windows energizing me for what lay ahead. Today I awoke in… …more
I proposed this little challenge to my cohorts a few weeks back and have yet to hear back so I’m throwing it out there for anyone who may want an interesting yet fun challenge, or perhaps it will be easier for you than for me. The challenge: Create a soundtrack for your life… …more
