One of those days

By choice, on both of our parts, which I am proud of (whoa commas!), we work in similar fields. We have similar job duties and make similar choices throughout our days. We are both writers at heart searching for something that will make us famous, or well-known, or just known. And on some days, that’s [...]

See ya, 2009.

1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Lost my job, got a real Christmas tree, prepared Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner at MY house.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t remember, which is not a good sign. However, I have three [...]

Christmas partayyy

Tonight Jeff and I attended a Christmas party for a service club he’s deeply involved with. We danced, and sang, and drank adult beverages and ate cute appetizers. Truth be told, I am feeling the results of said adult beverages as I type this. Truth be told (part two!!!), I needed those drinks to remind [...]

Holla dayz – a meme

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I’m a wrapping paper gal. And the newest trend around our house for a certain beagle is for him to grab the whole roll and run around the house with it. He thinks it’s a great game, I yell because he’s crinkling it. This year I found the cutest [...]

I will spare you all the “I’ve been so busy, that’s why I never blog” excuses. But please know: Every last excuse would be true.
We hosted a very wonderfully stress free Thanksgiving at our house and it makes me never want to go home for a holiday again. Sure, we love our families but it [...]

She’s here

My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

About that baby

My best friend is due to have her first child any time now.  And with that on the horizon, I thought it was only appropriate to write the baby a letter – since I don’t have children of my own to write blog letters to – since I just can’t wait to meet her.
Dear Baby [...]

August 17

I hear her in my voice and see her when I look in the mirror.
She’s the first person who ever loved me, who ever yelled at me, who ever thought I was beautiful. She’s my biggest cheerleader, critic and one of my very best friends. She’s kind, sweet, sensitive and supportive.
August 17, 2009. It feels [...]

Today – her baby shower – made the anticipation worse. I absolutely cannot wait for her little girl to be here.
