By Barbara Girion. I couldn’t find a lot of information on her, she didn’t achieve Judy Blume status, but I think she is still alive. I did see that she wrote “Misty and Me”, I remember reading that and will tr6 to find it somewhere.

Popcorn
What’s your go-to comfort food? Boring old popcorn. The kernels get stuck in my teeth but I love it. I love air popped or stove popped. Just a little bit of coconut oil and truffle salt. Occasionally I will make caramel popcorn. Movie popcorn is okay but no extra butter. It’s filling and I canContinue reading “Popcorn”
Fifth Grade Book Report – Blubber
I’m thinking of having a book club where we read books from our childhood. Young adult novels. Discuss the book as usual but also discuss what we remember and why the book was chosen. I’m starting to go back to some I remember. Last week I read “Blubber” by Judy Blume. I’m not sure ifContinue reading “Fifth Grade Book Report – Blubber”
Rules are NOT made to be broken
What bothers you and why? I’m a rule follower. A classic hands in the steering wheel at 10 and 2 (I know that’s not a thing anymore) rule follower. I’m an introvert and an accountant, it’s in my nature. So I don’t like when people don’t follow the rules. 13 items in the 12 orContinue reading “Rules are NOT made to be broken”
Go to girl
What are you good at? I’m not the best employee but I’m usually respected. I am not sure if I seem approachable or appear smart but I’m the person people go to for questions. At work I get a lot of questions; mostly related to my job, but some not. Once someone asked me theContinue reading “Go to girl”
It takes a village
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. I had a wonderful family and loving parents and I don’t take them for granted. But friends parents were the surprise impact for me. Not just one parent but several parents. Yes, there were the jerky parents that made me grateful forContinue reading “It takes a village”
Definitely not Accounting
What’s your dream job? As much as I love my job I think that my next career would be something with kids or helping people. I don’t have a dream job per se but there are things that I would love to do. It would not be sitting at a desk all day. I wouldContinue reading “Definitely not Accounting”
Cross country
Think back on your most memorable road trip. I drove cross country in my 20s to start a new life, or at least a change. The journey started with my aunt and her friend. We had 2 cars and 3 drivers. My car was packed with my stuff, ready for my new adventure. It wasContinue reading “Cross country”
The Door Knob
Last year my family and I were in Spain. We rented an apartment (I’m sorry to the locals that we are doing this). It was a building probably done in the mid 20th century and it had a European appearance (duh). The door to the apartment had the knob in the center of the door.Continue reading “The Door Knob”
Manga
What is your favorite place to go in your city? The North End, Boston’s “Little Italy”. The food is fantastic and it has an old world charm about it. I try to go there at least once a year. I was there a couple months ago for a work event and walked through there. I’veContinue reading “Manga”
