New Year’s Resolutions for 2008

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Happy New Year! First things first… It’s 2008 - can you believe it? It’s funny, I distinctly remember being a little kid and watching the ball drop to ring in 1986. But that was over 20 years ago in my family’s Manhattan apartment! Now on to the annual self-consuming resolutions!

Reviewing 2007’s Resolutions

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Every year I like to beat myself up by taking a look back at my New Year’s Resolutions from last year and whether or not 365 days have been enough time to accomplish them! So here we go…
Last year I stated that I wanted to pay off my smallest student loan, which was from […]

Merry Christmas!

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here’s hoping that you and yours have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. May we all remember the reason behind this season and the reason why we all celebrate today.

Movie Review: Fred Claus

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Boring. Completely boring. Lucky for me, viewing this film did not cost me anything because if I spent ANY money on this train wreck, I would be real hot right now. My apologies go out to my roommate who enjoyed this movie - I didn’t care for it.
The premise of the movie […]

What Will It Take For a Profitable Christmas Season?

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Believe it or not, it’s almost Thanksgiving Day! At the beginning of this month, I bookmarked an article on CNN.com that I wanted to blog about and I just haven’t gotten around to it until now - so forgive me if this information and my opinions are dated!
Over at CNN.com they posted an article […]

Happy Easter

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Just wanted to wish a Happy Easter to everyone out there! Who would have thunk that we would have thunk it would be snowing on Easter? Funny - it felt closer to Christmas today than Easter!

Storm of the Century!

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

A few weeks ago I posted about how people go completely nuts when it comes to snowstorms in New Jersey. Granted, we had a few nice hits in February, I think the Garfield comic strip below explains just how nuts people are about snow in this state!

Ha ha ha! I actually KNOW people […]

Bad Ice on the Roads in Monmouth

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

The storm of the Century DID, in fact, come - but not in the way that many people thought it might down at the Jersey Shore. Yes, we got hit with some of the white stuff, but the big problem in Monmouth and Ocean counties is the unbelievable amount of ice all over the […]

Storm of the Century on the Way!

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

You all know that I’m the first one to bitch and moan that we’re not getting enough snow this winter (or any recent winter for that matter). But some of the crap that I’ve heard last night and today about the upcoming “blizzard” is just comical.
People on the radio are talking about how snow […]

We Almost Had Winter!

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

For about a half an hour this morning, it was snowing in Trenton, New Jersey! I hear from other people around the state that it was snowing in Monmouth County, too.
And now it’s about 50 degrees in Trenton and the sunshine is overwhelmingly bright.
Mother Nature has cockteased us once again…

The Snowstorm that Wasn’t

Monday, January 8th, 2007

For those of you who live on the East Coast, you know that this has been the warmest winter on record (so far). You also know that we had a 70-something degree day just this past Saturday! Well, for all of us who have been asking, “Where is the snow?” I think […]

Happy New Year! It’s 2007 Already?

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Happy New Year!
Another year gone by and another set of resolutions to put up on the blog, only to break in a few days! Here’s a look at last year’s resolutions.
Unfortunately, I don’t think that there will be anything earth-shattering in this year’s resolutions. Pretty much the same old stuff that I’ve done […]
