Time is Money – What’s your hourly rate?
Posted by RyanG in Personal Expressions on February 16, 2011
You’ve heard the colloquialism that “Time is Money” right? Perhaps you agree, or perhaps you just scoff at the sentiment. I, for one, have given this particular little proverb a good amount of though. So much so, that I usually work out how much something will “cost” me for my time before I get serious [...]
Today was a good day
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on January 5, 2011
We all mark good days on different scales. My good day may be different from yours, and I know my husband’s good day is different from others (geeks have different definitions of most things in life). Now that I am a new stay at home mom, it’s only been six months, and have health issues [...]
Pleasin’
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on September 7, 2010
I am a movie-a-holic to a degree and when Sandra Bullock’s character in Hope Floats was told that she was so pleasin’ by her mother and she told her mother she had to be pleasin’ I could relate.
I Made Velveeta

I attended a city college culinary program, which means I know a little about food. I learned the basics of the culinary world, things like mother sauces, cuts of meat, basics of pastries, ect. I’m a foodie. I love food, like it and love to play with it and experiment. Thankfully my husband enjoys my [...]
Sleep, sweet sweet sleep
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on August 1, 2010
I remember being young and fighting every single nap time in preschool, daycare, and kindergarten. I remember whimpering when my parents held true to my 8:30pm bedtime. I just wanted to stay up and play with the adults, I didn’t get why I had to go to bed. I imagined that my parents were having [...]
Renewed passion
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on July 18, 2010
I attempted a day of rest yesterday as it was one of my last days when my husband was easily available while I recovered from my c-section. I ended up watching a lot of the new food channel (Anyone else feel like this is a more cooking focused fine living network? Anyone?) and found my [...]
My first five days…
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 22, 2010
My first five days home with both my boys and my husband were a bit of a whirl wind. Slowly my mom has shortened her visits here to help, trying to give our newly extended family more space. When writing these posts I heard Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek with beeps and all. [...]
Men and Women are different
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 20, 2010
Yes, I know the obvious differences, body parts, hair growth, DNA. My husband and I are different, he is a good foot taller than me, has straight hair, is fair and has dreamy blue green eyes. I’m short, olive, with dark brown eyes, you get the point. I have been reminded time and time again [...]
Sushi, glorious sushi!
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 13, 2010
There are a few things I miss when pregnant. I miss a ice cold pilsner on a hot day. The full bouquet of an well balanced cabernet savigion. The crisp, acidic flavor of a well chilled savignion blanc. Even the syrupy sweet nearly effervescent flavor of an ice wine. Tequilla, oh how I love it [...]
How do you remember that much?
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on June 13, 2010
I’ve been asked this question numerous times and usually shrug and say, “I don’t know. I just do.” I have been teased for years by my husband as I have memories, vivid memories, from two years old if not younger. I have asked my mom about them and she is always caught off guard when [...]
