The most wonderful time of the year.

I’m sitting in bed next to my sleeping husband, happy for the first 10 minutes of semi-alone time I’ve had in three days- so of course I had to do a quick blog (after only four posts, I may already be addicted).  We arrived at my in-laws this afternoon after a 9 hour drive, which [...]

Fresh Start

So I wrote another first post, one that, at the time, I felt was thoughtful and introspective, while at the same time being quirky and sarcastic, all characteristics I would like to convey.  And then I re-read my blog the next day, realized it was none of those things, and promptly took the post down.  It was [...]
