Ramblings

We already had one stop tonight and the kids (and us!) are overwhelmed with beautiful presents but most of all, we had a lovely time eating turkey dinner and just enjoying some quiet time with family today! We had tons of fun giving gifts today, including baking some yummy banana nut bread. Tomorrow we look […]

Wow! I heard the 12 Days of Christmas from Straight No Chaser on XM Radio a few nights ago. I ‘Shazam’d’ it right away and thought about it for a few minutes, looked over their other songs, and bought the full album ‘Holiday Spirits’!! I figured I have to slowly build up my Christmas music […]

Wisdom of the masses…. HELP! I used to have my contacts in Outlook. Then, I moved to an iPhone and I had duplicate contacts and I never used Outlook anymore so I kept them in Google/Gmail.  My computer freaked out and I lost all my data, including Outlook, so I had my backup from Google […]

We went to Big Bear for Thanksgiving again this year. I am actually writing this in January but backdating the post so it’s in the right month! We had a delightful time and were not snowed in this time. Probably because we ended up leaving early to miss the big storm! We did sledding, snow […]

My daughter who luckily gets her sense of humor and smart brain from her father, her empathy from (both!) of her Grandmothers, and her beautiful smile. My son for his sweet and loving personality, his inquisitive nature, and his ability […]

I received it on my doorstep and that night I went over to my Mom’s house for a family dinner so it was a perfect gift to […]

Were you bullied by other kids when you were young? Or were you the bullier? I feel so sad and affected by the stories we have heard about of these suicides in the last few weeks.  I was lucky in a few ways that I was firmly in the middle of social chain growing up. […]

My run this morning was short because of a few reasons. One, I was going a new way and didn’t realize that it was a very strong incline going home. The second reason was because I had to stop and take a picture! It looked like someone was asking a girl to Homecoming! Check it […]

Just a quick note that today is gorgeous! And hot. Oh, the air conditioning will be on today. It will also be running on Tuesday since it’s supposed to be 104… So, my previous company did not pay their health insurance bill so Cobra wouldn’t accept me. Ugh. Thankfully the health insurance said I could […]
