Spring cleaning

Posted by Trisha on Mar 27, 2007 in Family, the kids

Regardless of what the calendar might say, spring doesn’t begin for me until I embark on the tedious task of digging out spring/summer clothes from the attic. This year, that was Sunday. While the boys ate lunch, I dug out the 6 boxes full of clothes I had tucked away in a corner of the [...]

Goodbye Chuck & Ginny’s

Posted by Trisha on Mar 26, 2007 in Erie

I was so sad to hear on the news update on Jet radio today that Chuck & Ginny’s is finally closing. This is such a great place to eat. Their food is better than any Italian place I’ve eaten. But, here it is, up for sale on e-bay. It is sad, to be sure. For [...]

College degree vs NBA/NFL

Posted by Trisha on Mar 24, 2007 in NCAA, NFL, Sports

As I’m sitting here watching the OSU/Memphis game, I am once again hearing talk about Greg Oden. A phenomenal basketball player, to be sure. The talk is whether he will stay at OSU, or turn pro, now that he’s one year removed from high school. SO I sit here wondering if he should go pro. [...]

Bracket Part 3

Posted by Trisha on Mar 24, 2007 in NCAA, Purdue, Sports

I haven’t said much about my brackets, but that’s because they are pretty bad. Only 4 of my 8 Elite Eight teams are in, and I only have one Final Four and Championship team still in. That’s OSU. I was pulling for Pitt Thursday night, but they just couldn’t hold out My women’s bracket is [...]

Are we too “PC?”

Posted by Trisha on Mar 23, 2007 in News, Politics

I have long thought that we are too PC. We try so hard to be neutral, to not offend anyone. We are told we shouldn’t say this because we might offend this person, or we shouldn’t say that because we might offend that group. I’d like to know where in the Constituion and Bill of [...]

Which living celebrities would you want to meet, and why?

Posted by Trisha on Mar 23, 2007 in General

I have been having bloggers block lately. To remedy the situation, I went in search of inspiration. I came across a site called BlogInspiration.com. Some very interesting topics on there. This one caught my eye. Here is the idea: Most of us have favorite celebrities, like singers, actresses, sports figures, politicians, or other public figures. [...]

My herb garden

Posted by Trisha on Mar 19, 2007 in General, food

I’ve often thought about growing my own herbs. I do a lot of cooking and many of our recipes call for fresh herbs. I typically buy them fresh, as I need them, but the problem with that is that I always have a bunch of whatever is it I have bought left over. I have [...]

Round 1 & 2 complete

Posted by Trisha on Mar 19, 2007 in NCAA, Purdue, Sports

After a dismal start to the left side of my bracket, I thought I’d get some help in yesterdays games. No such luck. The best I can finish in Brendan’s pool is 5th, which, I guess considering I lost one of my final teams, is pretty decent. I’m out of the running for the t-shirt, [...]
