Welcome to the soundtrack of my life! Ever since I saw this tag post done by the ever-lovely Em (be sure to check hers out HERE), I've been meaning to give it a go. Then the also ever-lovely Hayley recently inspired me to create a playlist blog, but since that's still a work-in-progress, I figured... Continue Reading →
Since I've been so vocal over the past week or so about my love for my new camera, I thought I'd take a moment to profess my adoration for my late father's old cameras. This past Sunday (February 28th) I decided to tackle the ever growing pile of stuff next to my computer desk. Naturally,... Continue Reading →
I found an old playlist on my computer the other day, and Boat On The River by Styx was the first song to come up. I was immediately transported back to high school, when not only did I own the album, Cornerstone, but I had the 45 as well (to be honest though, I hardly... Continue Reading →
Actually, to be more precise, I love new beginnings. If I had to create a Facebook status for my relationship with New Years, it would be, "It's complicated." I touched upon the reason in an old post, so in the spirit (that permeates this time of year) of leaving the past behind, I won't rehash... Continue Reading →
I grew up Catholic, so Christmas has a special place in my heart. After hubby and I converted to Wicca back in '91, we still continued to celebrate a secular version of the holiday. In fact, it grew more special to me after researching and discovering the history and symbolism of so many of the... Continue Reading →
Three things I'm a fan of this Fourth of July holiday weekend - Fishtown Horribles Parade My dad, way back in the day, used to park his pickup truck on Stacy Boulevard the night before the parade (July 2nd), and on more than one occasion, walked the three and a half miles to our home...

They're baa-aack... And yes, technically Carol Anne and crew are also back (although our favorite spooky child is now named Madison), but I'm talking about the spectacular spookiness that launched a thousand 'shippers. The X-Files. https://twitter.com/gilliana/status/580418104011972609 Hubby and I started watching from the very beginning, way back a gazillion years ago in 1993. We're definitely...

Happy birthday baby! Fifteen years ago today, our youngest arrived - This is the most recent picture of her, taken a few minutes ago, as she and her older sister got ready to head out for some birthday shopping - I know it sound cliche, but I'd swear those two photos were taken about five...

I credit my father for my ability to code. Granted, I’m no wizard at it, but I have enough knowledge to get by, thanks to being introduced to MBasic back in the day by Dad, who figured out how create programs and databases and encouraged me to do the same. No big surprise that when... Continue Reading →
I have a major case of mixed emotions. December and the accompanying holiday season has been a time of joy and sadness for me since 2001. That year, within a two week span, I lost my maternal grandmother and my father. Some years it hits me hard, and it's a struggle to maintain a cheerful... Continue Reading →
In about seven months, I'll hit the half century mark of my time on this planet. And yes, I most definitely still believe in Santa Claus. Santa and I have been buds for a long time. Just before I hit the years ending in "teen," I realized there was a great deal of similarity between... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm making a concerted effort to take care of those projects I've been meaning to get around to. One of those projects is to turn the four or five plastic storage boxes of family photos into an online collection. To that end, hubby set me up with an external hard... Continue Reading →
