It’s time for my annual “Year in Review,” when I treat readers to the first line of the first post of each month. I even provide a link, hoping to entice you to check out the entire post. I think you’ll find it painfully evident that I completely forget that this post is coming when [...]

HS and his best friend from high school are sitting in the kitchen reminiscing. I was working in there for awhile, and got to listen in.
Nosy Parker that I am, you’d think I’d have loved the chance to hear what the boys were up to in their not-so-distant youth.
But they spent the entire time discussing [...]

Hurray! I finally finished the wrapping today.
Now it’s on to some baking…

Last weekend was the church’s choir party. I always have a great time there. I love the people, and the white elephant gift exchange is one of the funnest things I experience all year. However, all I wanted that day was a quiet evening at home.
So I skipped it.
Earlier this week, a friend had her [...]

You know your kids are growing up when you realize that not only do you not have a clue where the video camera is, but you can’t even remember the last time that you used it.
And I didn’t want to shoot a video. I just needed the tripod that was with it so I could [...]

Despite the fact that I changed my computer wallpaper, Firefox browser and iGoogle homepage to Christmas themes the day after Thanksgiving, I’m having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit this year. Maybe it’s because I’ve been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks. Maybe not.
In any case, I haven’t addressed a single card and we [...]

There’s been some “restructuring” going on at Mr. B’s place of employment.
The good news: he still has a job.
The bad news: he’s not getting a raise. Again.
The good news: the corporate office is several states away so he’s out of the main fray.
The bad news: he’s going to have to travel more.
The good news: we’ll [...]
