2008 recap and final thoughts
I’ll be ringing in this year a little different from last year. Last year, I was home alone wallowing in my own “i’m all by myself” drama b/c Obi-Wan was deployed. I didn’t want to celebrate the New Year with anyone and I didn’t want to be out driving on the roads with crazy drivers [...]

Obi-Wan had our first date at a local neighborhood hangout in Columbia, MD named Rocky Run. It wasn’t a national chain although they did have a few locations in Maryland. The restaurant was always special to us b/c of our first date being there and we would periodically go back and grab a beer or have [...]

I’ve mentioned before how my bedroom floor and the hallway floor have become a tool repository for everything Obi-Wan is using on the bathroom remodel. Well after I took the time to straighten up everything in my room and hallway so that I wouldn’t trip on stuff, Obi-Wan was right back at it yesterday spreading [...]

Since 8:00 am today, we’ve been on a rampage getting stuff done around the house. Obi-Wan tag teamed with me to get some cleaning done, give the paws both a good solid bath, and some smaller things. We also both hit the gym for a good workout, came back and he tackled the bathroom remodel [...]

Unleashed dogs – ugh! I was out walking the paws tonight and came across an unleashed dog in one of my neighbor’s yards. I don’t know what it is about my neighborhood but several of my neighbors who have dogs let them loose in their yards all the time. It pisses me off b/c (a) [...]

I’m freaking out here – I left my cell phone at home today. Ok, I’m not totally freaking out but I had a serious moment of frustration driving to work this morning when I realized I left my cell phone at home. It’s amazing how dependent I’ve become on having it with me, even when [...]

I knew my deep and abiding love of chocolate had some sort of scientific justification behind it. A friend forwarded me an e-newsletter about food this morning and one of the things it mentioned was why women like chocolate - because it gives off a “feel-good” hormonal response. You bet your bippee it does. Every bite [...]

No particular topic of this post, just some random updates of the past week.
First, Obi-Wan and I ran a 5k (3.1 miles) with some friends of ours on Saturday. It was the annual Jingle Bell Run held locally. Obi-Wan ran like the wind and clocked in at 22 minutes and some change, beating his previous [...]
A fine Italian meal
Obi-Wan and I made a lovely meal last night. We began with some caprese salad and had this Doghouse 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon to drink throughout the evening.
We then made some rigatoni with a creamy sauce consisting of garlic, roma tomatoes, parmesian, butter and sausage. Obi-Wan bought some crusty bread too and we put some home-made [...]
