Wordless Wednesday (and Happy New Year!)
“SURPRISE!!!”
becky | December 29, 2008
Sunday my mom and I traveled down to Chicago to surprise my sister for her birthday. Since my sister, mother of seven, wife of one and a preschool teacher, is by far the hardest working woman I know, we try to make a big deal out of any occasion we can for her. Her daughters came [...]
We Had Ourselves A Merry Little Christmas
becky | December 27, 2008
Despite all my bitching and moaning, Christmas turned out very well this year. Better than I expected. Christmas Eve I had my folks over to my place for dinner and then we all went back to their place to spend the night. Santa only comes to my parents house because at my house we have a gas [...]

Death By Holiday
becky | December 23, 2008
I might not make it. This year might very well be the year the holidays take me to the light. Christmas might actually do me in. For good.

Twas the night before a snow storm, when all through the city Many a plan was cancelled, which was such a pity. The snow plows were waiting in the garages with care, In hopes that Blizzard 2008 soon would be there. The children were dusting and waxing their sleds, While visions of a Snow Day danced in their heads. [...]

Just Call Me The Elevator Air Freshener
becky | December 16, 2008
The other day as I was leaving work, I got on the elevator with a man I hadn’t seen in the office before. We were doing the classic idle chit chat as we were riding up. But when we got close to my floor he paused, and said randomly, “You smell really good.” I muttered [...]
