A new look – the next brave step
I’ve been exploring my new website; poking around, clicking icons and feeling quite fancy but getting a little lost at the same time. I’m a person who likes familiarity and right now even my own words are looking less familiar- I feel like a visitor. I will get the hang of things, I’m confident of […]
ten…. nine…. eight…. Go For Launch
I am excited to announce that my new website is going LIVE. Allaboutelva.com is making its debut online, on Facebook and on Instagram. Please log in, sign up and check out the new format of the blog. I will be continuing to categorize the archives to make searching for topics easier. The website, the blog and […]
New-ing and improving
Grammaniaonline.com is taking a bit of a breather. There are changes in the works and I’m really enthused about them.
In other news….
The Miss America Beauty Pageant has decided to scrub the bathing suit portion of the competition. It’s true. It was on the news the other night – there is still a Miss America Beauty Pageant! I remember watching ‘Miss America’ when I was a kid, back in the day when TVs had rabbit ears and […]
On a lighter note…
I collect airmiles like a fiend. Recently, on the recommendation of my daughter, I spent the equivalent of a flight to Paris on a cordless vacuum cleaner. That’s right, I’m at a place in my life where vacuum lines on my family room carpet trump the Eiffel Tower. What’s with that? To justify the purchase […]
An Old Geezer Leaves a Lasting Impression
It seems there is one on every street — that old geezer who doesn’t appreciate the antics of young people growing up within puck shot of their driveway. The old guy with no patience, no sense of humor and no idea that he has made himself a target just by being ‘that’ old guy. My […]
Here’s to good sports
I am up to my armpits in the Olympic Games – totally immersed in what ever is being televised at any given moment. I root for everyone, regardless of where they are from, but I cheer the loudest for the kids sporting the maple leaf. Those are my kids, the Canadian contingent, and I am […]
On the road again
I’ve never been a fan of most ‘necessity’ purchases. There is something totally unexciting about buying things like lightbulbs, toilet paper and dishwasher soap. A new roof for the house is as pricey as a decent vacation but definitely a more responsible purchase if you’re wanting to get out of the weather. And purchasing new […]
Coming Clean
I’ve been making a lot of proclamations and promises about things I plan to start/do/accomplish in 2018. Grand statements of intent. I’ve been writing blog posts about them – and waking up every morning saying to myself ‘this is the day… the day I begin’. Well, it’s time to fess up, time to come clean. […]
Netflix and me — a match made in heaven
I am an ‘all in’ kinda gal. If something is good, more is definitely better. Restraint has never been my strong suit. I binge with the best of them – I jump in with two feet and rarely come up for air. I’m always sorry when I’ve run out of episodes to watch when I’ve […]
