StarStruk By Life

…winter!  We got a few inches of gorgeous, sparkly white snow last night…first thing this morning, the only thing despoiling the glistering perfection on the back lawn, looking out from my bedroom window, are the cat prints and other deep holes that hus says are cat leaps.  Ahhhh…I love the snow when it is fresh fallen.  […]

So much that needs doing and so little getting done…oh, well…some days, you just need to do nothing.  I have been trying to baby hus who had some dental surgery this week…we are experimenting with a variety of pureed but tasty foods…the black beans, tomatoes, corn, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder simmered in a frying pan for […]

I get to come home early on Wednesdays and Wednesday has become one of my favorite days.  Worked hard at work, ran errands on the way home and then snuggled under a blanket on the reclining chair with a sweet tea vodka and lemonade at my left hand and the kitten spending time snuggled up […]

What a break, to have four full days off…nowhere we needed to be, nothing we needed to do…we stuffed ourselves on Thanksgiving and the day after with turkey and all the trimmings, made another amazing thin crust pizza yesterday (carmelized onions, mozzarella balls, parmesan cheese on my side, add sundried tomatoes, grilled pineapple and chopped olives […]

OK, yes, another “I am so thankful” post.  But what do you expect on the day that we have set aside to count our blessings?  As I sit here in the dark early morning this Thanksgiving day, I am thankful for so much…my husband, my children, my parents and sisters and cousins and aunts and […]

Another wonderful weekend, good weather, nothing on the calendar for the whole weekend…ahhhh… Yesterday, hus took me to his favorite local wings, etc. bar, Chicken Bone Saloon, for lunch…had one of the best cosmos I’ve had in ages!  Then we went grocery shopping, both for this weekend and for Thanksgiving.  Got a beautiful boneless turkey […]

What a night last night…hus was away, so I shared my bed with baby Sophie kitten.  All was well until around 1am, when Sophie woke up and decided it was time to play…and she didn’t want to play alone.  She attacked my feet, purred and buzzed and head-butted my hands, turned over on her back […]

Yesterday was my first full day post-Prelude to a Kiss.  I got home from work, folded and hung up loads of laundry (huz was home doing laundry all day), took a nap, ate homemade turkey chili (ohmygosh, so good!), fresh sheets on the bed and to bed to watch Monday night football.  What a luxury… […]

Sophie, the wonder cat, has either caught her first mouse or hijacked one of Phoebe’s freshly killed prey…she pranced into the bedroom moments ago with the mouse in her mouse.  She dropped it so I could see it and I praised her fulsomly as I went to get toilet paper to pick up the trophy […]
