Had I been in elementary school today, that’s the note that would have gone home to my parents. “She didn’t play well with others today.”

Even though I’m 147 years old, I still learn valuable lessons every single day. Today’s lesson actually concerns my dinner last night. I made Mexican Lasagne and it was very tasty.

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 [...]

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 [...]
