We have a treat today, a guest post from my sweet husband, the CPA. I awoke this morning as I often do, with the remnants of a vibrant but quickly fading dream on my mind. I cannot recall what the dream was about, but it was a pleasant one. As I struggled to recall the details of [...]

Air travel is something that I don’t do well. I tend to break out in a cold sweat, my limbs begin to shake and my breaths come in shallow gasps. And that’s before I’ve even boarded the plane. Flying didn’t used to be a problem, but several years ago, this changed. There was nothing dramatic; no [...]

There is something about a holiday weekend that is so liberating. Just the thought of having an extra day off is almost enough to make me forget that my husband is going to be working all weekend and that I have to teach a lesson on Sunday that I have barely started preparing. It’s almost [...]

I had a therapy session this morning (more on that next week, it’s a new thing that you may find interesting) and during that session I was asked the question: what little things does your husband (spouse) do you for you? So it got me thinking about all of the things that my spouse, aka the [...]

It is nearing the end of a long week and I couldn’t be more thankful. My mind is frazzled and I can barely form a coherent thought. Which is why I am especially grateful for my sweet CPA who has offered to write today’s post. I think you’ll agree that it is beautifully written and [...]

The Apple iPhone. One of man’s greatest inventions since, well, the telephone. I must confess that the CPA and I weren’t original converts. When the iPhone was first introduced we looked at it, smiled and thought, “$500.00, are you crazy?” And we went on our merry way. But a few months later, when the new and improved [...]

It hasn’t even been two weeks now since our area was blanketed with several inches of snow that covered the bushes in our backyard. 11 days later and those bushes now look like this: Leafy, green, and robust. A testament to their ability to withstand winter’s final attack. And now that winter has had its last hoorah [...]

We always have music going in our house. It’s just one of those things. We both love listening to all kinds of music and we always have. It’s also one of the few things that we don’t necessarily agree on, at least initially. The CPA tended to lean towards old school rock-n-roll from the 60s [...]

I’m at a loss today. It’s not that I’m not grateful for things, I am. I think it has to do with the fact that I’ve been feeling sick all afternoon. That, coupled with the fact that half of my face is numb after having dental work done four hours ago. And on top of [...]
