Well, it's expected that I write a little blurb now that the election is over and I did so much to support a failed candidate. Chris is still mourning McCain's loss, but he was so optimistic where I think I was a little more realistic about the expected outcome, and I have already moved on to embrace this new president elect and pray that he does ( Read more... )

Now I'm not interested in stepping on anyone's toes or starting any debates.  If people read this and they want to talk more about it calmly and RATIONALLY, that is totally fine with me.  I'm simply doing this for myself to outline and organize my thoughts and I'm doing it a little bit for you in case I spark any thoughts you may not have ( Read more... )

Happy Easter, friends, wherever you may be this holiday.  One thing's for sure--you'll all be in my heart.

Last night Jessie had said something to the effect of March coming in like a lion.  I had completely forgotten about that saying...in like a lion, out like a lamb.  I remember in elementary school when the announcement boards used to be filled with construction cutouts of lambs and lions and clouds and sunshines.  I really don't know what to think ( Read more... )

I had such a WONDERFUL weekend.  I was so sad to wake up this morning and find it was Monday and gloomy and icy outside when for the past two days it's been sunny and borderline-spring-ish and dry.  Oh, well.  I suppose the weather suits the Monday following such a great weekend.

Truly, there isn't much to report.  Just a series of little events ( Read more... )

I'm having a real hard time keeping my days straight.  I can't believe today is Thursday.  I worked Monday, I got another "weekend" because I took Tuesday off for Chris' birthday and I didn't go in yesterday because of the snow; I work today and tomorrow and then I work Saturday morning, as well.  I'm all messed up ( Read more... )

Well, this is gonna have to be a fast entry because I only have a half-hour before work and I still have to eat lunch.  This week is gonna be so crazy because Chris' bday is tomorrow and we've been away all weekend, not to mention Ash Wednesday is on Wednesday and before we know it, it'll be St. Patrick's Day, my dad's birthday, and Easter all in ( Read more... )

So yeah, yesterday was definitely a good day.  I couldn't believe that my boss called me and told me not to come in to work.  I mean, of course I had hoped that would happen, but I didn't actually believe it.  So when my phone rang at 1pm and I saw it was a (616) number, I thought could this be?  And it was a dream come true ( Read more... )

So I had told Chris that if I got everything packed for tonight in time, I'd walk him to school.  Well, at the last minute, I was feeling extremely lazy and so I offered to drive him instead.  Now I wish I had walked and taken my camera because the river is frozen over and covered in snow.  It looks so cool!  Oh, well...it's my punishment for being ( Read more... )

So yesterday was more rough on me than I expected.  Connie had been telling me for the past two business days that there were "Jeopardys!" to do and that I should be expecting them soon.  Instead, I've been getting cooking shows and design shows which was fine and easy.  Yesterday, after I finished my episode of Robin Miller, I was handed a 4-hour ( Read more... )
