Thursday night we attended a sneak preview of Transporter 3 starring Jason Statham. While I can’t really talk about the movie, I will say that Jason Statham was a site to behold. He must certainly spend as much time in the gym as the rest of us spend sleeping. If you liked his other movies, [...]
What a great workout I have been getting by simply climbing the stairs! No special equipment needed. I have been using a heart-rate monitor to try to gauge my pace and progress but it would be easy enough to just slow down when I start to feel tired and out of breath. It’s a bit [...]
Friday night I attend the CITYterm Neighborhood Study presentations. The two neighborhoods that the students visited were Roosevelt Island and Jackson Heights. The entire experience was amazing. Fifteen high school students spent 4 days learning about and experiencing Roosevelt Island. Their presentation Friday demonstrated that they were able to learn more about Roosevelt Island in [...]
I’m very fortunate, in fact, blessed to have some really great friends. How many people can say that they have a friend who will drop everything and travel across the country to help clean and organize your house before you put it on the market? Well, I have such a friend. That is just one [...]
Our visit to the Lion Brand Design Store went as planned. There was a good crowd and it was exciting to see all of their yarns on display. I will probably take another trip on Thursday when it could be less crowded. It sounds as if they will have plenty of events and classes in [...]

I have been listening to the pod-casts for Yarn Craft for a couple of months and they keep talking about the store opening. Well, it’s finally here. They officially open on November 18, [...]
Not too long ago I picked up some frozen burgers for a quick and easy dinner. I really wasn’t expecting too much from these frozen burgers but was pleasantly surprised. I have tried several different brands of frozen burgers in the past but I think I can safely say that Bubba burgers are now my [...]
I highly recommend having a date night whenever possible. Last night my hubby and I set out for a date night in the city. A friend of mine bought show tickets for a group of us to attend a charity event. I looked up restaurants in the area of the theater using Yelp.com and came [...]
I keep thinking that one of these days I will have a break from sewing baby blankets. No end in sight. I really enjoy working with the teens and teaching them how to knit but I would also like to make a few things for myself and finish a project or two for family members.
Anyone [...]
We are still holding steady with tolerable temperatures here and we added some evening rain to the mix. The hubby and I both enjoy the rain even though we each have extra curly hair in wet weather. A touch of wind with the rain really makes for a wild hair day for me. I am [...]
