We Boo, Do You?

October 15, 2008

Three years ago, at about this time of year, I left Jeff at home with our then two-month-old son and took the girls to a Disney on Ice production.  When we came home we found a very festive gift basket filled with spooky delights like silly string, Halloween candy, orange and black hair ties, and glow sticks.  There [...]

A Peek Into My Purse

October 15, 2008

I’m spilling it. No, not the beans. The contents of my purse. Merrie at Sleepless Mornings tagged for a meme in which I must dump my purse and answer a few related questions.  As far as memes go, this is one of the funner ones I’ve seen, so thanks Merrie, for giving me blogging fodder for [...]

An Increase in Productivity

October 7, 2008

Remember how I told you my internet connection has been severely lacking lately?  Turns out we need a new modem.  Rest assured that one has been ordered and we’ve been guaranteed quick shipment and delivery.  But, as it turns out, maybe my lack of internet accessibility isn’t such a bad thing after all… This is [...]
