Sunny today

Sunny today

I prefer snow in winter. We didn’t have, but one storm. We had lots of rain. Had that all been snow we’d still have snow on the gound in April which just doesn’t happen in NJ.

I can retake the Grammatika exams when I [...]

My husband and younger son are at the NY Auto show. The hubster wants me to go with him. The problem? I love cars, yes, but only some cars. He wants to look at [...]

Waiting

Waiting

On 3-12-2008, I mailed out my copy editor/proofreader exam. I also completed the optional exam for certification as "Expert".
Now I am waiting to hear how I did.
I applied for a paying job proofreading a manuscript. I found that, although proofreading isn’t easy, I like it. I also like copy editing. It is fun to take [...]
