I know that I can be a bit "cocky." I was a good softball player. And I am a passable musician. But I possess a skill that I don't often brag about. Do you have certain skills that you don't often brag abut? This is your chance to...

My student, Ava, was struggling to read "grown-up notes" this morning. I sometimes write the notes out of the staff as letters, to make it easier on kids when they first start. I gradually encourage them to read real notes.
But...

Toni LoCicero Through the hundreds and thousands of years music was a form of communication and expression. It was NOT a requirement for the person participating to be perfect. Ava's father reminds me of my parents at times. They would want me to be perfect in certain...

Right now Kitty is guarding me at my feet. She is dozing, but she is in that regal "on her tummy" position, like the Sphinx.
Last night at abut 2 AM, she jumped up on my bed and demanded a purr fest. I gave her one, and then...

Toni LoCicero Both cats sleep with me at night. Freya loves sleeping on the pillow on the other side of the bed (I bought a queen sized bed, so the cats had room to sleep) and Petey curls up along my back. They will get up and do a security check and often settle down in...

I was in one supermarket and decided to look at Sugar in the Raw sugar as we were very low on it. The two-pound package was $4.39. I didn’t get it because we usually buy the four-pound package and this store didn’t have it.
When...

Toni LoCicero I have a calculator in my purse that I use to figure price per. The calculator is over 40 years old and is a solar powered one that I bought at the place I worked. I not only figure price per pound, ounce, bottle etc., but I also figure in the cost of the...

After my lessons were done, I was bantering with my last student, an ADHD 16-year-old. He is a quick learner (what is it with these kids who are called "special needs"?) who really enjoys music.
I wished him happy Pi Day. (It's...

Toni LoCicero Gee, if it had been me I would have brought a "PIE" to class. And as for fist bumps, I go for the hugs right off. Of course you had to have a PIE because they come in a circular pan which would be figured with the PI of 3.141592654.... I would have gone...

Now I'm feeling kind of "Bleh".
I have a bit of a lunch together for tomorrow. I'm going to try to get to bed by nine p.m. so that hopefully I'll be able to wake up at a time when I won't be too much later than 8 a.m. at the...

I was not fun to be around yesterday. The kids were somewhat dumbfounded. I am usually fun-loving and easy. I was upset with my daughter big time. She waited until the time my grandson said he would go help her mop the living room...

Toni LoCicero I must be some sort of odd ball, if I stayed with anyone-whether I paid rent or not- I always would pitch in and help keep the house clean, do dishes, cooking, and other household chores. When I lived with my mom I also took care of the yard and made sure we...

Toni LoCicero I have had it happen to me, and I have had men who would start to make that kind of advance and I would look them in the eye and simply state to the person, I really don't recommend that you follow through with what you have on your mind to do. While I am a...

I have been getting back into tea. Used to drink coffee but could never find one I liked unless I ordered out so I quit drinking it. Now, back to tea. I have been enjoying Lemon Giner by Bigelow lately. I like it with a little...

Toni LoCicero I drink mostly black tea. I would have to special order the ones I really like, and they're kind of expensive. I drink coffee, there is a wonderful caramel/coconut flavor that I brew in my Kereg (I got it at the thrift shop, brand new, for $3!!) and toss in...

Jimmy Chérizier, a 47-year-old gang leader known as "Barbecue," wields a rifle and has a reputation for brutality. Some say his nickname reflects his alleged cruelty - setting victims on fire. However, he claims it's a childhood...

Toni LoCicero Well, he won't make it to Martin Luther King level with all the stuff he's packing or all the brutality his is accused of; but I sure wouldn't want to fall face first on any of the hardware he is carrying up front...he won't be making children for awhile.
I...

I say that lovingly. We have five. I have had cats in my life all of my years. I love them and their little oddities. Our one cat, Colbert, is a very handsome animal. He is very vocal and almost says some words at times if you...

Toni LoCicero You need to move down here. I'll get us both motor scooters and we can be "Hell's Lady's" together. I'm still dealing with the broken ankle, but I'm determined. Your daughter is cutting her life very short with the cigarettes. My mom lived to the ripe old...

I got a text from a phone number I didn't reconize. Since I'd recently been in contact with home health, I answered. It didn't take me long to realize I was talking to a scammer. And, the tip-off, is they continued talking to me,...

Toni LoCicero I have gotten a few scam calls, and they ask the same question about gender. When that happens I simply reply that "I'm an ignat". It's quiet for a couple of seconds and they finally say, "That gender isn't on my computer" and I tell them to suggest that it...

Bitty treated me to a "socker" match last night.
I wear socks to work everyday. End of the day I often take them off, roll them, and put them in the hamper when I head to bed.
Bitty found my rolled socks last night, and...

Toni LoCicero We had a Siamese that would retrieve rolled up socks, bring them to you, drop them at your feet and wait for you to toss them again. When she got tired of playing fetch she would jump on the back of the couch, with the sock, and sleep with it. We had to play...

Toni LoCicero Be careful!! After living my life with cats and dogs I have often found that when they are being extra needy they are trying to tell you something. Sometimes it's that you might be in for an accident (not too serious other wise you wouldn't even get to go to...

I got in a 34-minute walk today, according to the time I left and the time I came back.
The weather's nice today--cool but not too cold--cloudy, but the sun's out there, somewhere.
I read somewhere that there's a storm...
