Very Important Question!

I have a very important question to ask!
What do I wear to Chicago on Saturday????  We are going to be walking all day so I’m wearing tennis shoes and probably jeans.  We will be in and out of stores all day, the high temp is 33 for the day but I don’t think the wind [...]

Christmas Tree 2007

Every year there is a “contest” in my family over who has the prettiest tree between me, my mom and my granny.  Of course I win every year because I have a real tree and they cheat.  This year I opted to not use garland and I LOVE the tree this way.  There are 500 [...]

Four Days “Off” From The Internet

I don’t really log onto the internet from home because we hook-up at 24.0K and it’s quite painful.  So, over my 4 day weekend I didn’t get online once.  That’s a lie, I did help Dominic and Bryan set up their backgrounds for myspace but besides that I didn’t come here once.

Thankful Reason #7

That I learned how knit.  I’m not a great knitter and I haven’t learned how to do anything “fancy” but I can do your basic “knit” and “purl” but it’s something I really enjoy doing.  I also like giving gifts that I have made, it’s more special that way.  The last baby blanket I made [...]

Thankful Reason #8

Short work weeks!  Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have it.  I don’t know what people do that don’t work.  Stay at home moms I completely understand and they are working 100x harder than I am but people that just stay home, [...]

Thankful Reason #9

The internet. I simply can’t imagine how anyone did anything before the internet and I remember life without it. If I have a question, I “google” it and there it is. Anything, it’s right there at the tip of my fingers. Thanks to message boards and blogs I have made some [...]
