Friend or Foe?

So this weekend, I had two things happen that made me think, then chuckle, then I smiled, reminded of just how good things are in my life.  First, I was out at the store and I saw someone who is a mutual friend of my ex and me.  I wasn't going to go out of … Continue reading Friend or Foe? →

Too Early??

Halloween is barely behind us, and we are just a day or two into November.  Christmas is over 50 days away, however, it is everywhere! Even before Halloween, many stores had their Christmas displays and decorations up! For years, people have pondered, discussed, and debated the "how early is too early for Christmas" topic.  In … Continue reading Too Early?? →

Halloween Dress Up

Tonight on ABC, one of the greatest Halloween specials of all time aired again - It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  It is in this special that poor Charlie Brown utters those sad words, "I got a rock." In that scene, Lucy is wearing a witch mask.  It got me to thinking about Halloweens of … Continue reading Halloween Dress Up →

100

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs.  If I do, I apologize.  In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog.  I have been meaning to hook up with my friend and fellow blogger, Max, to learn how to index the content that I have already … Continue reading 100 →

Quotes I Needed To Hear Today

It's not worth my time (or yours) to rehash why I am writing this blog. It will be a short one. After an incident today, Sam (as she always does), saw a great quote that really helped me today: "Learn to be ok with people not knowing your side of the story. You don't have … Continue reading Quotes I Needed To Hear Today →

18 years later – 9/11

Like the assassination of JFK for some people, or the Challenger explosion for others, 9/11 is one of those life changing events that is forever etched in the minds of those who lived through it. No doubt, you remember exactly what you were doing and where you were when you heard the news. So do … Continue reading 18 years later – 9/11 →

Daddy’s Little Girl

The past 16 weeks have been very exciting for Sam and me.  It has been especially nice to have this blog as a place that I can write things down and look back on later.  My last blog told of the ultrasound, finding out the baby's gender, and how we shared the news.  I am … Continue reading Daddy’s Little Girl →

Get the “funk” out!

I am not going to lie, this past week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.  Whether or not there was more bad than good this week, I really can't say.  It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out! →

Tune Tuesday – Queen & ELO

I have to admit that I almost picked a Ringo Starr song today, because of his birthday this week.  I didn't because I really couldn't decided whether to pick a solo song or some of his Beatles stuff.  I am guessing that's a future blog - I'll add it to my "blog topics" list.  Instead, the … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Queen & ELO →

Expanding on an earlier Facebook post.

I am on vacation.  I have the next week off and will have my sons all week.  I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have them over.  I am hoping that the weather will cooperate and we'll get to do some fun things this week.   This vacation could not have come … Continue reading Expanding on an earlier Facebook post. →
