There are situations that happen that you can’t quite believe it’s real. Even if you witnessed it yourself. The weekend before last with my dog Brooklyn was one of those times. Now to set this up you need to know a bit of background. I got him when he was 11 months old, and even … More A Hairy Tail to Tell
It’s two days until Christmas, and I still haven’t shopped for my husband. Mostly because I’m broke and have no idea what to get him within the budget of no money. (I can’t get him stuff like the new computer chair and range finder like I did last year.) It’s a good thing that I … More Holidays are Here!
The other day (or yesterday, whatever) while I was still mostly asleep, my husband asked me if I was planning on running the Shippensburg Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning. I had seen the banner hanging over top of King Street about it, but hadn’t looked into it at all, so I told him I … More I Can’t Take Him Anywhere
That’s what he said. And by he, I mean my fairly new friend and wedding videographer, Alex Goodlive. Dylan and I met Alex when we were looking for an affordable option to get our wedding ceremony recorded. After an email to a photography and videography listing in the yellow pages inquiring about their rates, I … More “It’s Nothing to Worry About!”
Sugar is my bane. I’ve had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. Donuts (typical cop, I know…), cupcakes, ice cream. With how hot it’s been this week, the latter of those has been calling to me. So…..even though I’ve been trying to avoid such delicious calorific treats, after I checked the … More The Monkey On My Back
So Judgment Day came and went two days ago, and no, I’m not talking about the “Rapture.” Those of you who joined me Tuesday, I’m sure, already know I’m talking about the Shippensburg Community Fair judging of the home goods exhibits. I’m not even sure where to start. Entries….here goes. I entered purple jalapenos, yellow … More Judgment Day
Once in a while, you experience something so surreal, that when you look back on it you question if you’re remembering it right or if the details have become exaggerated in your mind. This is one of those times. So no kidding there I was… Last night, Dylan woke me up in the middle of … More Late Night Chiroptophobia
Deep in the mountains of Pennsylvania, the German roots run deep and certain traditions have carried on and evolved from the old country, their origins long forgotten. I remember one year as a kid, at school we made little paper cutouts of a groundhog and taped them onto popsicle sticks, then took them outside to … More Catching the Punxsy Madness
When I got home from work this afternoon and was scrolling through Netflix I discovered that Roman Holiday was available. I have loved this movie since high school and haven’t seen it in years so I selected it. And that got me thinking…. What makes a story? Yes, there’s the plot and characters, but if … More Story Appeal
Big cities always seem to get the attention when it comes to shopping and finding wondrous items, be it dresses, food, or jewelry. After my recent experience finding a very special piece of jewelry, I really think that shopping small business in a small town is really where it’s at. Here’s how it happened… Back … More Kalpana’s Fine Soaps (and Jewelry!)
