11/20/09 Five Things Friday

1. I’ve started listening to Christmas music already. Is it me or does it come on the radio earlier and earlier? TWO stations are already playing nothing but Christmas music nonstop for weeks already. And me? Powerless to turn it off. I’m Jingle Bell Rockin’ at work, Decking the Halls at home, and Letting it [...]

My Grown Up Christmas List

I was driving to work this morning listening to the radio, and I heard this song for the first time this holiday season.
It’s always been one of my absolute favorites, but this year it seemed to take on a higher sense of reality for me as I shift in to the next chapter of my [...]

My Little Bookie Lou- Milestones

Here are the top ten awesomest things Avery’s doing right now:
10. Making razzing noises with her lips and tongue, complete with a face full of drool.
9.  Scratching everything. She reaches her little hand out and runs her fingers over whatever the object is. It’s precious.
8. Playing the “Shy Girl” game. Anyone with kids knows it [...]

The Sixth Annual Halloween Bash!

Sorry it took me a while to get this up! Lots going on these days!
What a GREAT party this year. I can honestly say it could be my favorite yet. The food was really good, and everyone went ALL OUT with their costumes. That’s really makes the party, you know? Why bother going all out [...]

Christmas Consternation

Even though it’s a little too early in my book to deck the halls with boughs of holly, the stores and commercials on TV are doing exactly what they set out to do: get me and the rest of the world in the Christmas spirit.
Which splits me in half between excitement and dread.

No words.

This has been a really rough week in general. I had the mother of all migraines this week which lasted two days and cost me precious sick hours. I have hardly any time to work with as it is…I came into work anyway Tuesday morning, although I was nauseous and sweating, made it 22 minutes [...]

Wonder Dog, Wonderful Moments, Weather, and Work

This morning was really special to me. I woke up with Gunnar in my face. He was whining and grunting at me as I lay in bed. Usually he will do this if he has to pee (and with the nasty weather he hasn’t wanted to go out much) but he brought me right into [...]

11/6/09 Five Things Friday

1. One of the funniest (and creepiest) websites of all time? www.peopleofwalmart.com. Instant pick-me-up when I’m stressed at work.
Warning: proceed with caution at work. Not because of the exposed butts and awesome walmart fashion, but because these real pictures will bring the uncontrollable “church giggles” on. I’m just sayin’.
 
2. This week is Triples week again [...]
