It was announced this past Friday that schools in New York are officially closed for the rest of the year. It comes to no surprise to me and the kids; we already discussed the probability of that happening. And they aren’t bothered in the least, taking the news really well; almost enthusiastically. My college kids…

Restoring Hope πππ
I need to get my hope restored. I need my faith refreshed. I’m feeling a bit in despair. The past couple days have taken a toll on my worldview. Between being home 95% of the time, keeping updated with the virus, trying to follow what science and facts say versus the Buffoonery on both sides…
6 Weeks and No End in Sight
We’ve been in lockdown, quarantine, social distancing, whatever you want to call it for a month and a half. Nothing is changed much personally…still not working, lots of reading, working out, but now getting a little lazier and not keeping up with my routine for the past two weeks. Starting to feel the lack of…
Wine Re-port: Cupcake Vineyards Red Velvet
Being a lover of Red Blends, today I’m trying Red Velvet from Cupcake Vineyards. Examining the bottle I could not find the vintage year. I bought it based on three things: the attractive label, that it is a blend and that it is under $10. Single moms on a budget understand being frugal. The label…
Our New Reality, For Now
When I came home from my mini vacation a few weeks ago, I arrived to a different, not new, but not normal way of life that I was currently used to. I am by no means the only one…millions of people…either displaced or unemployed as I am upon my return; overworked like the healthcare systems,…
Serenity Now?!
I had a chance to get away last weekend, so I took it. It was the beginning of the craziness when the coronavirus was hitting us in early March. It was a Monday, talking to my friend at work. She says “I have the place and the car, you just need to get to there…
I Do Like Turtles, Thanks for Asking π’β€οΈ
So I stopped for a drink on my way home at a local haunt where I know the owner and bartender and everyone is pretty friendly. Only reason I did stop is because my kids are on break and I know they are still up playing videogames so it’s not a quiet house. So I…
Oh, Ricky, You’re So Fine….
I have always enjoyed watching the award shows since I was a young girl. Except the Tonys….wasn’t in tune with theater…get it?! And I loved seeing the performances and the wardrobes but mostly I enjoyed the hosts. They made the show. Monologues, jokes… keeping me entertained while maintaining flow of the show. Billy Crystal hosted…
20/20 Vision π§
Happy New Year! It’s really not a big deal anymore. It’s just another day, another year. The eve was fun back in the day when I was in my youth and would party and no responsibility. Even when my kids where younger, we had people over the house for a little festivities Now, I worked…
The Most Amazing True Story on Stage β€οΈπΆβοΈ
So I try to catch a show or two a year since I moved to Rochester. I’ve always loved theatre: caught the bug back in highschool when we went to see Cabaret at Shea’s in Buffalo; Loved it!! Never knew anyone else who wanted to go, didn’t really ask, Wasband didn’t like and frankly didn’t…
