From my trip…

So I finally got around to looking at some of the pics from my trip. Took me a while, but I’ve been sick and I’ve had to play a LOT of solitaire during that time and I just couldn’t manage anything else between the sitting around and the playing solitaire and the general feeling sorry [...]

Good times. And, I’m getting old.

Last night Dave and I made it to a concert! I heard this song on the radio a few weeks ago and was so in love with it I made Shelby write down the singer’s name so I wouldn’t crash while trying to do it myself. Another advantage of having kids get older…

From last October…

She just had an adorable new baby and I’m here to spend a few days with them. Sightseeing and eating. I mean, helping out the new mom as [...]

My resolution this year…

From here on out, I resolve to be perfect. No more of this “making mistakes”, or being “too tired” or “not caring enough” crap. Yeah. I’m going to just start being perfect. Starting tomorrow.
What are your resolutions?
Happy New Year!
and thanks for all the congrats on my last post. They make me all warm and fuzzy [...]
