I never win anything. That’s my mom’s department. She once won a timeshare which she and my dad have enjoyed for many years now. But me? I don’t win. So imagine my surprise when I went to read one of the blogs I enjoy and discovered that I had won a contest and would be…
Good dinner
My parents are retiring and today was their last day at work. I invited them over for a little celebratory dinner tonight. I made jambalaya from the recipe I got from a friend in New Orleans, homemade potato salad, layered salad (lettuce, bell pepper, green onion, celery, frozen peas, hard boiled eggs, bacon, cheese, more…
Two years…too long
Is it possible to be homesick for a place where you’ve never lived? I don’t believe in reincarnation but if I did I would swear I once lived in New Orleans. I was strangely captivated by the city on my very first visit and each time I return it feels like going home. And that…
My name is Deanna and I’m 45 years old
Whew! I wrote it and it didn’t kill me. I’m generally not all that freaked out by birthdays but they do tend to make me reflective, sort of like New Year’s Eve. I was awake rather early this morning, lying in bed trying to go back to sleep. That rarely works so I found myself…
Dinner in Dallas
David and I have been invited to a special dinner tomorrow night in Dallas. If I understand correctly, this is being hosted by the company that David buys their company fuel from. I think they are hoping that he will talk the rest of the company into using their services so I suppose you could…
Rock on!
Yesterday I drove through a local convenience store to get a vanilla Diet Coke. I had my iPod plugged into the car stereo and the song happened to be Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”. The guy at the window was probably mid-20s and attractive in that *long hair/bad boy* sort of way. He asked for my order…
What’s in your refrigerator?
I just read an interesting thread on a forum I occasionally peruse. Everyone was sharing what is in their refrigerator and some even shared photos. I haven’t figured out the picture posting thing yet so I’ll have to settle for just describing the contents. I tend to keep most of the same things on hand…
What are you reading?
I love to hear what other people are reading. Some of the best books I’ve read were recommendations that I might otherwise not have considered. I nearly always have more than one book going at a time. Here’s my current list: Bedside – “Le Mariage” by Diane Johnson Treadmill – “Bird by Bird” by Anne…
Thursday Three…
Three things I want/need to do in the next few days: Finish writing and editing an article I’m working on for a magazine. Bake bread. Work on flowerbeds. I know this isn’t much of a post and that I haven’t been doing a very good job blogging lately. However, I’m going no mail on my…
