2015_Day 35: Ready for the next big change in life? I am
When I left my job in July, I was excited and a bit anxious about what lie ahead. I had worked for one media company or another all my adult life — I was a reporter, photographer, paginator, news editor, copy editor, online editor. You name it, I probably had done it in some capacity as a journalist over the years. But husband’s new job in thriving Austin, Texas, was giving me an opportunity to explore my career choices.

2015_Day 34: Will junk email ever go away?
It’s not this Spam that bothers me (I actually like it!), but the junk emails that clutter up my email box.
2015_Day 33: What’s up with traffic anyway?
I just don’t get interstate traffic, especially during rush hour. Because for the most part, it isn’t a rush. Some days it’s a maddening crawl. Other days, it’s stop and go. I understand the fits and starts when there are accidents or disabled cars. You have to slow down for emergency vehicles or to let traffic in when another lane is blocked. I don’t like it, but I understand.

2015_Day 27: Girl Scout cookies will always be my favorite
These lovely treats need no introduction.
2015_Day 26: So, I sewed a pair of pants and saved $20
Hemming pants by hand really isn’t that hard. It just takes a little bit of patience.
2015_Day 25: Easy stir-fry beef with veggies a great Sunday ticket
I’ve gotten into a comfortable routine on Sundays lately — finding a recipe on Pinterest that I can make for supper. It was hard to do in the fall when daughter’s soccer games took us away from home one or both weekend days, so it’s nice getting back to the homemade meals for the past month or two. Continue reading
Being a Caesar Salad Lover in a House Salad World
2015_Day 23: Reblogging because I love Caesar salads, too!
And, I loved Katie Hoffman’s recent blog post on sassandbalderdash.com about her experiences trying to order a Caesar salad in place of a house salad. Amusing, but, oh so true.
Happy Friday. Enjoy!
Of all the foods to stab me in the back, I’d never have suspected Caesar salad.
Caesar salad is very dear to my heart. I credit it as being the very first salad that taught me salads can not only be a healthy side dish alternative, but also quite a lovely, filling meal on their own when you’re in the mood to fill a bowl with a portion of garden goods doused with enough dressing to make you forget you’re eating leaves. I’m not sure what it was about Caesar that captured my attention in a way that those boring house salads never did. Maybe it’s the minimalism of it. Maybe I just like the fact that romaine lettuce isn’t shredded carrots or purple cabbage. Maybe I just live for that last crouton you find at the bottom of the salad bowl, drowning in dressing and spackled with Parmesan cheese crumbs.

2015_Day 21: Rush hour just another part of new life
So, the traffic I’m behind in this photo is just the frontage road. Interstate traffic is to the far left.
Fortunately, I haven’t had to navigate a lot of rush hour traffic between Austin and Georgetown. Until tonight. Continue reading
2015_Day 19: Change can be a beautiful thing
Change is a challenge and an opportunity, not a threat.” — Prince Philip of England
It’s been a long day and, I hope, the start of a very fruitful week. The weather is beautiful, and so are all the people in my life.
Happy Monday all!
