Love Is In The Air...And So Is Bug Spray

By
Two years ago today the most wonderful event of my life took place...


That's right, folks!  I got hitched!  I will do my best not to get sappy and emotional in this post, but I really and truly am delighted to tell you that I married my prince charming, the man of my dreams, my knight in shining armor (and all of those other corny descriptions).

To celebrate, this past weekend Habibi took me camping.  To give you an idea of where I stand on camping, a co-worker asked me this week what kind of tent we had.  The only response I could think of was "a red one...BUT IT HAS A PORCH!!!"  Clearly, camping is not typically my thing, although I have experienced it in the past.

Luckily for us, my sister lives near the location where we camped, so we were able to use her shower the following morning.  (We really had to "rough it.")  For the sake of my own laziness, I won't be giving you a long description of the peaceful evening we shared, roasting hot dogs and reminiscing.  Nor will I describe the beautiful morning where we looked out our tent window at the thick fog over the lake or at the wild turkeys not 20 feet from where we had passed the night.  No, instead, I will let the pictures do the talking:

The beginnings of our campfire...LOVE the smell!!!!
Dinner time!

Other than the food, this about sums it up!

Our anniversary toast (wheat beer in tin cups)

Our private bathroom...Once the sun set, I refused to use it.
Habibi got a little mad when I peed right by the fire, but it was too cold to venture out!

Happy Anniversary, Habibi.  I love you more than words.

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

By
Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

By
My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
