It is definitely true love from the start! Meet Wesley... all 2 lbs. 14 oz. of love sponge. I have always loved spaniels--I had an English Springer for 14 years--but…
Spring has sprung!
Spring has sprung at the Celona home! I love those peonies... they were transplants that mom gave us from her house. They bloom and I think of her. And…

A friend in need... is a pain in the a@%... that is a quote from a friend of mine, not my opinion, LOL... but I am a friend in need…
Caramel candies…
Yes, it’s that time of year again!
We made our own caramel this year and the first batch came out AMAZING! Tricky thing caramel… the wrong temp and it is either hard as a rock or it is way too soft and doesn’t have any tooth! You have to leave it overnight to come to room temperature. (more…)
On the wagon, off the wagon… who’s counting?
So, you mostly missed the part where I got back on the wagon (last post) and then fell off (until yesterday). I ended up losing 9 lbs. between November 15th…
Don’t faint… but I’m back on the wagon…
I've been waiting for a lightbulb to go off... a fire to start and something to motivate me to lose this weight (and not just put the covers over my…
What doesn’t kill you…
Saw Dr. Newsome at the MS Clinic at Johns Hopkins yesterday. He's such a cool person and nice doctor. I'm still symptom free and so he thinks the meds are…
Ooops… did I forget?
I can't believe that I haven't posted since March. Oh well. I can't seem to commit to a diet and am way too tired to exercise. I absolutely hate the…
Back on the wagon
Not too long after my last post, I came to a few realizations. The biggest was that I was wandering around in a fog and not really taking care of…
Can’t sleep…
I'm having trouble sleeping. And something is up with my legs... I can't sit still. I feel like I need to stretch them--they feel tingly and the muscles feel strange--I…
Getting back on the wagon
I'm sick and tired of feeling tired. I need to get back on the wagon and lose weight. I stepped on the scale and weigh more than ever. It has…

I have been WANTING SO BADLY to get a cleaning person for years... no kidding. I mean someone to do cRaZy things like DUST and detail clean the kitchen!!!…
It’s all funny until…
Okay--make fun of me because I marked myself with my Sharpie before surgery, but *this* is what happens when you aren't careful! Besides, the nurse told me to. It one…
Got to get back on the wagon…
I have to get back to exercising. Unfortunately, I have absolutely NO motivation lately. Not just for exercise, but for anything! Not sure what will wake me up already, but…
And don’t call me…
I can't WAIT until the darn elections are OVER!!! I'm tired of the incessant calling--want to lose my vote? CALL ME about it! So, I guess on Wednesday, I'll be…
Missing mom…
I know, I rant a lot... but while I do rant, I do have a lot that I am grateful for. I met my husband just over 29 years ago…
What do they know really?
Well, I promised Prince Charming that if Johns Hopkins says I have MS that I will finally accept it. I've been putting off going and they've moved out the appointment…
Not letting this get to me…
After a tough three months of learning how self-inject my Copaxone, I got a call from 'Shared Solutions' (front company for the drug--they called once a month at the beginning)…
%@%*! doctors…
Damn. I know I haven't posted. Hey guess what... the numbness in my face? Yup, freakin' MS. Got the MRI about a week after my last post to confirm a…
I’ve been bad…
Okay, hit the magic 15 lbs. lost and then went on the cruise late May and proceeded to not exercise all summer. The good news is that when (note the…
