Sam Adler + Eschler Music Foundation = Music for All

Ilinap · February 19, 2013 ·

I am not musically inclined. Most would say I don't even have good taste in music. I am admittedly stuck in the 80s. My musical ability is just a tish better than my athletic prowess. The only time I was in a talent show I played keyboards in an air band. It's not the swimsuit … [Read more...] about Sam Adler + Eschler Music Foundation = Music for All

Shot@Life – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · February 15, 2013 ·

I am delighted to be a Shot@Life Champion. Advocating for global health and immunizations is right in line with what fires me up. I am happy to support anything that leads to the health and safety of children. It matters not if said children are in my zip code or in a time zone I … [Read more...] about Shot@Life – 5:00 Fridays TM

Don’t Cupcake and Drive – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · February 8, 2013 ·

My colleague's daughter made cupcakes for a fellow colleague's birthday. Being a sweet tooth kind of girl, I had to of course have one, even if that meant inviting myself into his office and asking him to open up the cupcake tray for me to taste one. Luckily, this colleague is a … [Read more...] about Don’t Cupcake and Drive – 5:00 Fridays TM

Menopausal Mother Nature – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · February 1, 2013 ·

It's cold. I'm a master of the obvious. Earlier this week we were sporting shorts (even me, and I'm always freezing unless the temps hit 82 at a minimum). Let me outline this for you. Monday - 3 hour delay for school due to threat of freezing rain (Nothing happened, but we … [Read more...] about Menopausal Mother Nature – 5:00 Fridays TM

Just Snow – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · January 18, 2013 ·

There's snow in the forecast, but all I hear right now is rain. There were some fluffy flakes before the boys went to bed, so at least they sparkled at the glimpse of (practically) ne'er seen snow. They went to bed in fits of giggles and wide-eyed wonder and kept popping out from … [Read more...] about Just Snow – 5:00 Fridays TM

It’s Getting Hot in Here – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · January 4, 2013 ·

I'm starting 2013 with no resolutions. I break them anyway, and I don't need anything else to make me feel inadequate. I'll simply continue living my life, living the dream, living la vida loca. I'm so far on the wild side right now that I am munching on Doritos. Doritos are the … [Read more...] about It’s Getting Hot in Here – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ring It In – 5:00 Fridays TM

Ilinap · December 28, 2012 ·

I hate New Year's Eve. I always have. I don't understand why it's fun to get all dressed up in sparkly clothes and have some lush spill his drink on your lap. And then you have the whole ordeal of restaurants and bars overcharging you for cheap champagne and fried congealed … [Read more...] about Ring It In – 5:00 Fridays TM
