Confessions Of A Packing Procrastinator

February 16, 2012

I have this reputation among certain people (cough, my family, cough, my BFF) of being chronically early.  Of being chronically over prepared.  Of being on time, or early, for everything.  Of doing everything in advance. I am here to confess that that is not even a little bit true.  I ride my car down to THE VERY [...]

Unresolved

January 23, 2012

I am a New Year's resolution quitter. Well, not exactly.   I am still on my no sugar, no alcohol, 1,500 calorie a day diet.  I'm doing quite well on it actually.  I'm down 8 pounds.  My goal was to lose 10.  8 pounds in 3 weeks in nothing to sneeze at.  I look thinner. [...]

Resolutions

January 2, 2012

Lists

December 19, 2011

I’m A Conundrum

December 8, 2011

I'm a little bit of an old soul in some ways.  I miss the days of when people RSVPed to things.  I like when people send thank you notes, and always, always send them myself.  I believe in hostess gifts.  I don't care for evite, and believe that if you expect me to bring a [...]

November 14, 2011

I'm coming up on what is possibly the busiest two weeks of the year for me.  In between hosting Thanksgiving for both families, I have two major trials at work, Foster needs emergency surgery, Doug is starting a brand new job, so he is totally out of pocket, and Michael has just started spelling tests [...]
