I’ve always been okay with New Years Day being a holiday, but if the powers that be changed their minds and made it a normal day, I would understand. I get it… we are flipping the calendar over to a new year (hence the name!) There’s nothing to celebrate, though! What happened on this day?…

I asked my mother if, while watching my sister’s dog, I had to spend time with the four-legged friend or just feed her and walk her. She texted me that just feeding and walking is perfectly fine. She added “I don’t think they have a concept of time.” That made me chuckle and wonder, well…do…

We are getting blasted by wind right now. Cold, nasty wind. There’s some snow included but the blacktop of the road is still visible. The gusts are stunning. They are strong enough to rock your car back and forth and they can pick snow up from the ground and create a whiteout. It was a…

I need to learn Spanish if I want to visit Tijuana. Well, truthfully, I don’t need to learn it. The people there probably know Spanish and English, at least the ones selling things to tourists. However, I think using Spanish in Mexico opens the place up way more than only speaking English. It is also…

It is Christmas today and my mind is filled with thoughts of Tijuana. I want to go, and I want be there now. I was surprised to learn that it is the second-largest city in Mexico. I wrongly assumed that was Guadalajara or Monterrey. Tijuana has a bad reputation for being a dangerous border town,…

Adding to my previous post about San Diego, another intriguing thing about the city is it’s proximity to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I’ve enjoyed Mexico in the past, having spent time in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. I hear tons of people walk across the border daily and I may join them. It would be…

I’m thinking of visiting San Diego in February. The things I’ve heard about the city throughout my life, like the Mediterranean climate they enjoy, the burritos, the beautiful baseball stadium and the world-class zoo, have built San Diego up to epic proportions in my mind. Will the reality match my dreams and visions? Does reality…

I went grocery shopping today. It’s not even the tasty treats that tempt me in a big supermarket, but the ingredients I could use in my cooking. How insufferable does that sound? I’m being serious, though! I find joy in planning and cooking a meal, but I am not wealthy and these things that tempt…

I did laundry today and now I have every sock that I own in front of me. It’s a weird feeling, “owning socks.” Why don’t we let the socks be free? To be fair, socks are the most elusive of all the garments. We all lose that random sock and it happens all the time.…

I feel stuck. I whine and moan about the price of things, like breakfast sandwiches, but I don’t intend on not buying breakfast sandwiches. I get bent over but I do not change my ways. I am saying, with my behavior, that although unpleasant, I will continue with this experience. Same with drinking. I don’t…
