M - 29

That's code for Move minus 29 days and counting. I am going to take each day in stride and try to accomplish one small thing each day as we march to the Move. Today, I called Ferguson's to get an update on an open claim with UPS. We ordered 2 sets of Grohe faucets for our master bath back in February and never received them. UPS claimed the package was delivered to our house and handed to a woman. Since I was at work that day, and none of the construction guys were at the house, we are not quite sure about this mysterious woman.. The claim has been going on for 2 weeks. I've been dealing with Casey at Ferguson's, and at least he's been responsive, even though he reported that there have been no updates.  I just want my money back. I also mailed in my commuter pass for April to get reimbursed. I wonder how much of a windfall C-19 will bring?

 Today was a long day. Work was busy and I'm finding it draining to be on calls all day long. Top Chef All Stars LA is on right now, but I'm too tired to watch. I'll plan to watch it  tomorrow night.

 Good Night

Tuning in to Neptune

Image
Last weekend a few friends and I headed down to Virginia Beach for the annual Neptune Festival for a girls get-a-way weekend. I decided that even after spending several weeks in Turkey with my kids and extended family this past August, this Momma needed a BREAK from EVERYONE right about now. So my latest Now What moment took a detour to Virginia Beach for some sun and fun while my husband and kids bonded back home. While this was my first time in VB, I am positive it will not be my last. Here's why. One big never-ending beach Virginia Beach is home to endless miles of clean, sandy beaches stretching along the Atlantic coast with a convenient paved boardwalk and bike path running parallel along the entire way. And let me emphasize the "clean" part. Not an ounce of seaweed, rock, shell, dead jellyfish or crustacean skeleton could be found along these sandy shores. Kudos g...

Introducing the Frenetic Fours: Pour Me Some Whine

Image
My daughter will be four next month. It seems like yesterday she was this innocent little angel with a head full of soft curls who ate, pooped and slept her way into our hearts. We managed to get through her infant years blissfully unscathed from colic, reflux, "crying it out" and other sleep-inhibiting factors. The toddler zone was tantrum-free. We waited for Year Three to be THE year of fits, kicks and shopping mall embarrassments. But we got nothing. Her daycare teachers raved about her fierce independence yet warned, "You'll have your hands full with this one." Ignoring the warning, my husband and I high-fived our success. We were home free. Or so we thought. And now, on the cusp of Year Four, our perfect little princess has morphed into Demanding Diva. Her list of requests far outweighs Madonna's or JLO's. Urgent needs usually include immediate access to car keys, iPhone, Kindle, gum and lipstick. And when I say NO I immediately get WHY, ...

Debunking 9 to 5 -- 30 is the new 40

Does anyone remember the Ronco rotisserie grill? You put a massive piece of meat inside, set the button, and hours later - presto - your food is cooked to juicy perfection while you carried on with your life for hours outside the kitchen. I like to live my life like the Ronco grill  - set it and forget it. Don't get me wrong, I can handle change, and I think of myself as very adaptable. Heck, I lived abroad at age 19 for my junior year of college. However, now that I'm married with kids and have a full-time job, I like the day-to-day things to be on cruise control. I like to set it and forget it. Well this week threw me for a whammy just as the start of the back to school routine started to marinate. I received an alarming message from work. The CEO of my company announced a change to the standard work week hours. Beginning November 1, all salaried employees will adopt a standard 40-hour work week. Now, for all you busy full-timers, you may be thinking, "so what...
