I’m a big fan of drive-thru windows at restaurants, especially Starbucks . I use them often and when I’m by myself, it’s easy. I know what I want and I order it. It’s far more complicated with more people in the car. Drive-thrus are also great if you have mobility issues because you don’t have …
Yes, I get flustered ordering at a drive-thru. So what? Read More »
Don’t you just hate the process of moving? Packing boxes, cleaning, trying to convince your family and friends to spend the day helping you move in exchange for a couple of pieces of pizza? Well, we dislike it about as much as you do and we’ve done it 10 times in 16 years! Yes. That’s …
Growing up in the country and then moving to “the big city” (London,) when I was 24 years old has given me an interesting perspective on life in the country vs. life in the city. Overall, growing up in the country was AWESOME! I would not trade growing up in the country for a childhood …

Today is a BIG day. Today is my Dad’s 70th Birthday! It’s hard to even put into words how much my Dad has influenced me over the years right up until the present day. Some of my earliest memories are of my Dad working outside on the farm, driving the tractor, baling hay or coming …
I could have also titled this blog post “Young and Stupid” but, I will let you make the judgement call on this after reading. (Photo gallery at the end of the post) In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been in vacation planning mode. We have a trip to the Southern US planned for late …
I thought I should update all 5 of my faithful blog readers on my weight loss journey as I’ve been slacking on writing the past few weeks. It’s been exceptionally busy work-wise and after I type tons and tons of emails all day, I don’t feel like typing anymore in the evening. But, I’m back …
You know…you live your whole life not having to worry about certain things, and then one day you realize that the time has come. You’re faced with a situation you have never come across and you are forced to deal with it, like it or not. It’s part of life and it’s inevitable. For me, …
Ahhh…the 1980’s & 1990’s. Big hair, awesome music, ugly cars, video games, the introduction of the personal computer. What a time to be alive! This was the era I grew up in and it was an interesting time to have a disability. In the 1970’s there were all kinds of laws that were passed in …
