Or as Chris put it “we be illin”. It’s true. The dog is the only healthy organism living in this house at the moment. Well, the plants are still thriving. These are things I’m thankful for. I am thankful that I have things in my home at this moment that do not require medicine. Chris’s
LOVE THURSDAY
I know. I know. I’ve used Union Station for a Love Thursday entry several times already, but people. This. Place. Is. AWESOME! And yesterday was the most fun at Union Station yet. I’m totally about to break my “no blogging about work rule”. It can’t be helped. Yesterday was our department Holiday party and we
NEGLECT
I realize that I’m only blogging twice a week these days. I don’t mean to be neglectful, but I’m dried up. I’m a creativity black hole. That, and there’s just not much going on these days. I’m busy at work, busy at staying on top of things with the home, busy with Christmas cards and
THANKFUL FRIDAY
You know? I haven’t really said much about the Pen Pal project. That’s because the Pen Pal Project kind of went flop, with a few exceptions. My niece, Amanda. Just this week I received an envelope from her containing three hand written letter. Two of these were actually written by her and one was a
LOVE THURSDAY
I had a lot of entry ideas for this week’s Love Thursday floating around in my brain, and I finally decided to go the sappy route only because the words for that entry have been piecing themselves together in whole sentences in my head.

We hear the Salvation Army Bell at every door of every store you’re about to walk into to. Angel trees pop up every where covered with angels listing children in need. December
THANKFUL FRIDAY
It’s December, the month sends people into scramble mode. The thing is, I kind of feel like I’ve been in scramble mode since the end of January 2011. I had finally gotten into settling mode when people started talking about full calenders and how to juggle it all. Just once I’d like to get to
LOVE THURSDAY
Last year, one of Chris’s co-workers gave us a nativity scene for Christmas. She had heard that I’d fallen in love with a certain nativity scene that was being sold at a local furniture shop. Every time they played an ad featuring that nativity, I would exclaim how craptacular it was with the fake moss
MUPPET CHILD
We all know that I was raised by a village. What you may not realize is that part of that village included The Muppets. Hours of Seseame Street, multiple viewings of Muppet movies, and numerous Saturday night evenings of The Muppet Show shaped my ideas and strengthened my imagination. When Kermit The Frog told me
LIFE LIST #33, LEARN TO MAKE GRAVY
I used this Thanksgiving Holiday as an excuse to cross off something from the Life List. It was time to learn to make gravy. Step one: Throw in one Southern mom. I mean, come on. The South practically bleeds gravy. Step two: Melt a half a stick of butter. Step three: While butter is melting,
