Chi-Town

Hubby becomes a sailor this morning! Actually, he called Tuesday afternoon to let me know he passed all his tests, physical, mental and academic, and was officially a sailor then. Woohoo! Today is the graduation ceremony. FUN! (plus we get to visit with him for a couple of hours!!!) But getting here was quite trying. [...]

Happy Birthday, Mom

Should we still celebrate? It’s certainly a bittersweet day. The day of your birth. You just can’t be here to take part. It should still be recognized, I feel. Even if it is in my own way. I talk to you a lot. I don’t know if you know. I’d like to think you do. [...]

Fitness and Weight Loss Challenge

I have been trying to get healthier over the past year and have been failing miserably. As much as I would love to lose weight, I really just want to get healthier. To not be on medication. To not worry. And even knowing I need to make changes, I am having a bitch of a [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 – Complete

I took part in National Blog Posting Month in November. The premise behind NaBloPoMo is to post at least once a day every day for an entire month. It was hard, and unfortunately I was not able to have a “meaningful” post every day, but I had a post every day. November held my 100th [...]

December Calendar Page

December… the last calendar page for this year. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to make pages for the calendars again this year. We don’t have much money because of the economy, so I decided to cut way back on our gift giving. And with the cost of ink for my printer, this ended [...]
