‘Mad Men’ Prototype Barbie Dolls

I confess that when I watched the first season of Mad Men, I couldn’t understand what the big hype was about. Sure, the costumes were spectacular and nostalgia for this era was understandable, but I believed the plot and storyline were a bit too dry for my taste. But I kept watching, and boy, am […]

There has been sooo much going on in my life lately that I do not know quite where to begin. First, my neck is recovering nicely. I am still in a bit of pain but it is nowhere near as bad as it was two weeks ago, and through acupuncture and chiropractic therapy I am […]

Herniated Disc

I woke up this morning to horrible pain in my neck and shoulders. I immediately called out to J, who had to take yet another day off from work due to my health problems, and phoned my mother to see if she could come watch the girls while J took me to the doctor. I […]
