So, y’all know I love blogs. I love writing them. I love reading them. I love talking about them. I. Love. Blogs. Lately, though, I’ve found my joie de blog hasn’t been so ebullient. I’ve been reading my favorites, but anything that hasn’t made it to the toolbar has been sadly neglected. I think it’s [...]

Happy New Year?
December 29th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Life
I find myself reading more and more posts about how people handle the approach of a new year. What is it about a new year that makes all of us want to stop and take inventory? Why have we collectively chosen this particular time of the year to say, “Hey. Let me stop and assess [...]

# 66 Rather than a material gift, make a donation to charity in someones name - Completed!!
December 27th, 2007 · 7 Comments · Life
So # 66 on my list was – Rather than a material gift, make a donation to charity in someones name. When I wrote it, my favorite pescetarian/humanitarian BFF Leah came to mind. She is my oldest best friend, not in the way that she herself is old. In the way that we’ve been friends since [...]

…you did not slip a sable under the tree for me. But it’s okay. I’m not into fur. The fact that you did leave a Wii for Miss Lenna made up for any lack of gifts for me. And the XBox 360 game you left for Matt? Perfect. Tricia is a little uncertain about her [...]

Great ideas…

…are meant to be stolen. A while back, OMSH came up with what I believe to be a grand idea — a blogroll with screenshots. Instead of boring old text links, you can actually see a little screenshot of her readers’ websites. Huzzah! Since I’m shameless, I’m stealing this idea. (I don’t think OMSH will [...]
12/23 Wednesdays with Tricia

WwT? On a Sunday? Yes, my friends, you read it right. This is a little early Christmas gift to all of Miss T’s fans.
To set it up –
Bill and Lenna were goofing around, and Bill snapped a towel at Lenna. For whatever reason, Tricia was not amused. So, I snapped Bill with a towel to [...]

Epiphanies.

I’m a big believer in the idea that a flash of insight can happen when you’re doing the most simple things. Today, I was answering a comment on my last post, and I realized that my life is better because I believe it to be better. In actuality, nothing much has changed around here.

Busy. Lazy. Busy some more.
December 21st, 2007 · 4 Comments · Life
That pretty much sums up my life these days. I haven’t posted much because there hasn’t been much going on around here. We’ve hit another one of those pesky boring patches here in Stepford. I think everyone’s gearing up for next week’s holiday, and so they’re all too busy to provide me with sales parties [...]

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I’m going to give you another lame excuse as to why I don’t have a WwT to post. Well, guess what, smartypants? You’re wrong. HA! I have a WwT ready and waiting for your viewing pleasure. But I also have a lame excuse (or two) to offer about [...]

The vast and mighty blogosphere…

…is filled with people I’ve come to really care about, even though I will likely never meet them in real life. It’s weird and amazing and funny and awesome that I’m allowed to be a part of some stranger’s life on a daily basis, and they might not even know it. (And that there are [...]
