Deck My Halls
Whew..............one holiday down, another to go!
I can't wait for Christmas!!! It is probably my most favorite holiday. Sure, I get frazzled with all the shopping and commercialism, but I truly enjoy the simple things from it as well. I love the decorating, baking, card writing and everything else that goes with it.

Marriage Vows...in sickness and in health..in good times and bad?
I had a few minutes today in between "things" and I found myself watching a bit of the Oprah show. On the show today, she showed a taped interview of her interviewing a man from his jail cell. The man was convicted of murdering his 2 twin daughters, aged 5. He had documented issues of depression and was being treated for it for a number of years ( Read more... ) -

Where the hell does the time go? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was looking forward to spending the whole summer working on my tan and trying to suck my body into that polka dot bikini.
It is hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is ( Read more... )
