one of my favorite things to do, ever is stay home on a friday night with ROF. it’s my blog and i can go on and on about my awesome husband if i want. you see, i didn’t get married until i was 40 years old. and i don’t regret it one bit at all. […]
while in NY for business, i got a chance to stay until saturday at my sister/brother in-laws house in chatham, nj. you can’t beat new jersey in the fall. you know, now that i think about it – new jersey and detroit are very similar. yes, one is a state and one is a city […]
but i hope not embarrassing her by talking about her so much! susan and mike kindly put us up this past thursday through sunday. i was in nyc for a conference and ROF flew in and we spent some quality time together. i treasure the time we get to spend because it is never enough. […]
we break into your regular scheduled programming for an accounting of hurricane irene damage. guest recipe blogger and now on-the-scene reporter from new jersey, susan prendeville gives us some smart lessons learned this weekend. before: i was a little smug and mildly excited. we had been getting calls and texts all day asking “are you […]
more than anything i want to get out of my comfort zone. but i don’t try too hard to do so. a while ago i mentioned liking airplane turbulence because it jolts me out of that zone and there is a bit of unknowing, uncertainty and immediacy about it. notice i said that airplane turbulence […]
well, well, well… we’re already into february and here i am still thinking about resolutions. luckily, i watched this short TED video that lent a new spin on it all for me. it’s about trying something new for 30 days. i dig it because it’s a fresh thought on a resolution. first watch this before […]
i just watched the most amazing TED talk. i’ve seen a lot of them, but this one was simply awesome. please click on the highlighted links to watch. she addresses in a very scientific, researched way our most important and fundamental need to connect. that is what life is all about. our connection with other […]
i’m happy to have the popular dana clover from the Homesteading Housewife blog. dana is our chevy lma community manager in houston and i’m excited to get her take on that great city to my south – houston! where in houston do you live and how long have you lived there? i have lived in […]
by jeanie hornung, president of touchstone marketing group what do you love the most about boston? wow, that’s a tough question because I love so many things about boston. but if I had to limit myself to “the most” then I would have to say family (and friends). do you miss it? desperately. but […]
by ROF how old were you when you came to the big d? first time was the summer of 1992, i was 22 years old. why did you come here? i was a summer intern with fults companies – a bad ass commercial real estate firm. we were on the 14th floor in the crescent […]
there’s a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a while now. my family once considered writing a book but that’s just damn daunting. this blog –while it’s new and just getting started – is the perfect place to tell “the story”. I’m going to tell it on thursdays wednesdays because I like wednesdays thursdays. […]
last week, i started a weekly series in telling “the story”. You can find that story here if you missed it or feel so inclined to read it again. as a reminder, we spoke about my dad, our relationship and hopefully i gave you a pretty good idea of what he was like. now, the […]
this weekend holds two momentous occasions for me. saturday, is my one year anniversary to my wonderful husband ROF. i’m going to give that it’s own post. on the 25th it will be the anniversary of my dad’s death. it will be 6 years on sunday. it’s not sad, just i remember back to everything […]
welcome back wednesday story readers. if you’ve missed the past few weeks of the krause family drama, please click here to see past stories. i’ve decided that next week will be the end of my side of the story. as you read this, remember there are a lot of interesting viewpoints that would probably like […]
before i continue on our wednesday story, there is something i need to say. since this is my therapy a little bit and i’m bringing you along for the sorted ride (insert evil laugh) i need to share. there were so many people in our family’s lives who dropped off at this part. my parents […]
bawling like a baby at midway airport is where we left off last week. dad had just left mom for another woman after 34 years. if you’re new to the story, you’re going to want to get caught up here. do it quick…we’re moving on. i’m going to fast forward a bit. my mom made […]

there is a daily thought that comes into my mind and comes out sometimes at our before-dinner prayer and that is: i’m really really blessed. it shouldn’t be such a surprise every day how realizing this instantly de-stresses me. this is my list today: appreciating now: – the anticipation of spending quality time with family […]
this past week i was fortunate to be forced out of my comfort zone. if you remember, i like turbulence on a flight because it shakes me out of my thoughts and forces me to be present. well, that is kind of how this past week was for me. i’ve worked in the automotive advertising […]
if every big time advertiser partnered with one or more charities and gave the cause just :05 attention on their TV or digital ads, think about the much needed attention that charity would get.
now that i think about it, i was always driven by inspiration and passion. i was far from an all star all “a’ student in high school. in fact, i don’t even remember caring to be one. that seems like such a sin to say out loud in a day and age where high school […]
there are so many little things to love, here are a few things i’m loving right now… 1. portlandia. this show tickles me. carrie & fred are my new best friends after flying around the country with them on my ipad. it pokes fun at portland in a lovable, hysterical way. they love the city, […]
