Dear 2009, Hi sweetie. I’ll make this short since I know you are on your death bed. And for that I’m truly so sorry. When you were just a twinkle in Father Time’s Eye I declared you “My Year” and whoa, you didn’t disappoint. I knew we would be close friends but I never expected you [...]

Thanksgiving is one of my top 3 favorite holidays. It’s in the fall – love fall. It’s centered all around eating – I’m a big fan of The Food. And it’s a day that is about hanging out with friends and family watching football. No gifts allowed. Therefore, as I did last year, I feel [...]

Let’s see, what should I write about… By a show of hands, who wants to hear about Ben’s first day of fourth grade? Hmm, I count one. Thanks Aunt Sheila. I’ll email you. Who wants to hear about the Cubs game we went to in Chicago last weekend? Anyone? Anyone? Wow, no Cub fans [...]

I know I should be blogging about all the wild and crazy things going on in my life (like the laundry that is overflowing, the dust that is an inch thick or the soccer/baseball practices/games I attend…) but I’m just too busy signing up for eHarmony!

The tree is down. The Santa’s and Snowmen are packed away for another year. The wallets are bare. The jeans are tight. (oh so tight) The mailboxes are full of junk mail and bills instead of Holiday cards. Winter break is over (THANK YOU LORD!) and so are the two day work weeks. The holidays are all [...]

Unlike many others, I’m not going to look back on 2008 and remember it fondly. I won’t be going through all the past events of 2008 nostalgically. Yes, some good things happened, (creating this blog being one of them) but over all, I won’t look back and I will never have another 2008. So buh bye 2008. Don’t [...]
