Are you out there Starbucks? It’s me…DINK…

I’ve had several gingersnap lattes this season from Starbucks and I’m feeling very letdown.  Something is very different about them from the gingerbread lattes in years past and they don’t taste right.  They taste very watered down… it’s disappointing.  I’ll be headed back to my sugar free vanilla lattes for the rest of the winter I think.

We also finished sorting through our double closets and now have 3 large garbage bags full of clothes.  It caused a bit of marital discord.  Apparently one of my [...]

Life

We’re preparing for our next vacation right now.  We have a lot of packing to do.  We started sorting through the clothes in the closet but have not finished.  My goal is to find a few more outfits that we may be able to sell at the consignment shop.  We were interrupted by out of [...]

Illness in Our Family

I apologize for the absence…
We visited a family member this week who is very ill.  Her disease is common and often chronic.  She is afflicted with “stuffitis.”  Many of you are likely familiar with the symptoms: starting collections of different stuff, finding comfort in an excess of stuff, tendency to start new hobbies which require you to accumulate [...]
