It’s What’s For Dinner

Posted in July 31st, 2008

Living alone is taking some adjusting. Not a bad adjustment, but adjusting all the same. Like when I make dinner, I’m accustomed to making enough to feed an army. Not that I’ve ever fed an army. I’m only accustomed to feeding my boys. They are Eating Machines. We watch The Food Network alot when they’re at my house [...]

What I “Learned” On My Summer Vacation

Posted in July 29th, 2008

by Donna in Learnin'

They said it couldn’t be done.
Ever since my kids grew up and stopped needing me so much, I’ve sort of turned into a workaholic. It’s my deep rooted need to be needed – and appreciated. I happen to have a terrific boss who DOES appreciate me and all of my extra effort, so it’s all [...]

What I Did On My Summer Vacation. . .

Posted in July 28th, 2008

by Donna in Redecoratin'

I CLEANED! While I don’t think that everyone should spend their summer vacation cleaning OR do I think that it is the most fun I could have had with my first ever week long vacation, I can honestly say that I’m very happy with the end result.
The weather certainly cooperated with my “timed vacation” – [...]

I Finally Have Time to Read

Posted in July 11th, 2008

by Donna in Readin'

I’ve spent the past couple of nights reading about Wordpress plugins and widgets and CSS style sheets – trying to figure out what I can do to jazz this site up a bit. Sadly, the geeky part of me thinks that’s a fun activity. It’s not more fun than the beach or going to the [...]

Meet My Monkey

Posted in July 8th, 2008

by Donna in Chillin'

Okay, so she’s not a REAL monkey, but she certainly acts like one – alot of the time. I’ve said since the day I got her that she’s confused. I don’t think she had a mother to show her how to be a cat. She’d swing from the ceiling fan if I let her.
She was [...]

Birthdays and Birthday Cakes

Posted in July 7th, 2008

by Donna in Cookin'

You know those milestone birthdays that when you were younger were just THE BIGGEST DEAL. Officially becoming a teenager, Sweet 16, 21 and legal. Then you get to 30 and try not to feel bad, 40 and you slowly descend into straight-up freak mode, then 50 – whoa horsie!!!!! I haven’t gotten there YET, so I’ll [...]

Not So Blue Skies

Posted in July 6th, 2008

by Donna in Chillin'

Over here on the East Coast, it has been an unusually HOT June – and dry. While the middle of the country has been inundated with rain and floods, we’re dry as a bone. While we have the wildfires in the Great Dismal Swamp (just down the road from me) and my flowers and tomatoes [...]

Hey ya’ll!
I sure hope that you all get to participate in some form of fun outdoor activity, grillin’, drinkin’, swimmin’, partyin’ and oooin’ over some fabulous fireworks this weekend – not necessarily in that order. And by all means, be careful! But do have a good time.
Me – I’ll be chillin’ by my pool . [...]

Testing Testing – Is this thing on?

Posted in July 1st, 2008

by Donna in Learnin'

Hello!! My name is Donna, aka Yellow Jeep Blonde, for lack of a better nickname since I’m not terribly creative. I’m more of the nerdy type than the creative type. And since I am more nerdy, I’m taking on the task of creating my own site. I started blogging in February 2006 on MSN Spaces. And [...]
