On Saturday, I went to a fun little place with a friend to paint. It's called Ceramica. I've never been there and was not looking forward to it, but I gave it a shot and was quite surprised. The place isn't huge but it has a great variety of things to paint. I chose one…… MORE
It’s A Cheese Shop
I have known two people in my life who didn't like cheese. And I don't mean they simply shunned unusual varieties of cheese like brie or camembert. Neither of them would snack on cubes of cheddar, and neither one could stand having a slice of cheese added to any sandwich, including a hamburger. I was…… MORE
Time For The Blue!
We are now within a week of the start of fall practice for Boise State Football. The league meetings have been held, they are traditionally the beginning of hype for the fall football season. Boise State was again picked to win their division. BSU has been picked to win the league in all four…… MORE
Hot Fun In The Summertime
As you can tell the temperatures are getting really warm in Idaho. And I figured with warmer weather I should be enjoying the water. And that's exactly what I did for the last couple of weeks. My boyfriend and I decided to take the boat and jet ski out to the lake. It was a blast. We…… MORE
Not All Kids Are Test Scores
There are lots of reasons people call each other stupid. To some, if your opinions are different than mine, you're stupid. Because if you weren't stupid, you'd think just like I do. Other people are called stupid if they didn't do particularly well in school or business. Personally, I don't like to call someone stupid.…… MORE
Making Sports Better
Lots of Americans have been caught up in World Cup fever the past few weeks. More were interested before the U.S. was eliminated, but there are still millions who will watch the final between Argentina and Germany this Sunday. But there are also lots of Americans who just can't get into soccer, especially those who…… MORE
Not Fun In The Summertime
I read recently that the summer job is a thing of the past. With the poor economy of the last seven years or so, businesses aren't making a practice of hiring extra help in the summertime. And a lot of the traditional part-time jobs for teenagers are now held by adults who can't find full-time…… MORE
Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover
I may be a red head (or ginger as others call it) but I do have some blonde moments. The other day I was filling up the hummingbird feeder in our backyard with nectar and adding some bird seed to a bird feeder we have. I snapped the cage onto the bird feeder and hung it…… MORE
Time For A Road Trip
There's something about the road. For the past 2 months, I've been looking forward to my Cleveland Indians put forth their best effort against the Mariners. See, I love to drive. I don't mind flying, but driving allows me to observe the scenery. The mountains, the towns that once were, and, of course, the…… MORE
Time To Lose
I'm thinking about trying to lose weight again. I decide to do it every few years. And I'm pretty good at it. Once I lost 130 pounds in six months. Another time I lost 88 pounds. And I lost 50 pounds the first time I went on a diet, which was when I was 20…… MORE
