A couple of months ago, I was over our friend Mary I’s house and we were talking about, of all things, food! I mentioned how I made gnocchi with the kids and we had a great time doing it as a family… and Mary thought “ooh, let’s have a get together and make gnocchi”. Well, we did it and it was an absolute success!

I recently purchased a new iMac 24″ 3.06Ghz desktop.  LOVE IT.

It came with 10.5 (Leopard) installed, but had the 10.6 (Snow Leopard) upgrade disk in the box – so I upgraded, of course!

STOP FRICKIN’ SENDING ME EMAILS!!!!

I’ve unsubscribed so many times now that it’s a joke.  This last time, I got a message that “an error occurred” – you think I can find anything on their website to direct me to a contact of ANY sort?  It makes me nuts that I can’t unsubscribe by just replying “unsubscribe” in the subject line.

Yep, that’s right, and I’m good and peeved this time too…

Back in May, Eileen and I bought a new sectional sofa (leather) from Macy’s. It’s the first time we bought a new couch in 15 years, so we felt good about making the purchase. They were closing out this particular one and it was comfy and we got a good deal – so we thought.

Yes, it’s a new record alright, and it gave me a GREAT idea and wanted to share it with you all!

I got a call today, you know the ones, that have a caller ID that says “New Brunswick” or something to that effect. Since I already know what to expect, I can kind of feel my blood boiling, but I took a deep breath and answered it anyways.
