Unplugged

I’ve been feeling a major disconnect the last few months. Now that the winter is over – and the sun is finally blessing us with it’s presence – I’m hoping that this feeling will ebb away.
But it’s not just the weather.  I feel like I’ve been so busy with all sorts of activities – but [...]

Thankful

It just seems silly that there’s only one day each year where we focus on all that we have to be thankful for.  When, really, with all that we have
Some of the things that I am thankful for:
My parents.  (there’s a story behind this photo – I’ll share it soon!)
My sister – she’s the coolest [...]

McDonald’s Myrrh Milkshakes

‘Tis the season to be jolly – and to enjoy a McDonald’s Egg Nog milkshake.  I rarely go to McD’s – but I love the Shamrock shake and the Egg Nog one too.   However, I’m not a big fan of the new “Triple Thick” recipe.  I like mine “Single Thick” thank you very much.  I just [...]

Dear Malibu

Dear Malibu,
I know these last few years have been a little rough on you.  I want to apologize right now for the lack of care and time I’ve invested into you.  I have not been holding up my end of the bargain most days.
I mean, I’ve been there when it comes to the big stuff [...]

Quite an offer!

A few weeks ago, I went to the Michigan State – Wisconsin game in East Lansing.  I shared a little about the game, but not about the fine offer I received on my way out of town.
As Patrick, Jessica and I were leaving, I asked if we could stop at the McDonalds just before the [...]

Friday Photo: Libby

I spent most of the last two weeks house & dog sitting for good friends of mine. 
It’s been a few years since I’ve owned a dog, so it was a nice treat for me to get to love on one for a short while.
 
And, really, who can resist this beautiful face?
This is Libby (aka: Libbers, [...]

My Hot Date tonight…

Because I can’t wait until I make it to Mrs G’s Women’s Colony.
And because I decided that I need more spontaneity in my life.
I have made plans for a hot date tonight at 12:01.
Maybe you’ve heard of him:
Don’t wait up for me!

Something’s missing…

And that something would be my camera. 
Actually, it’s not missing.  It’s broken.  Which is not as bad, I guess.  At least I was able to pull out the SD card and upload all of my photos on to my computer.
I blame my lack of practice in relay baton-passing.  Kind of like the US [...]

Baby got back… pain

Let me just start off by saying that I LIKE working out.  And I LIKE my personal trainer at the gym.
(let me also say that I’m a little afraid that he will kill me if I don’t say that Karl is the BEST personal trainer, ever!).
I kid, I kid.
But every once in a while he [...]

Today’s the day!

All the waiting, all the anticipation.  All the weighing of issues.  And now the day is finally here:
Eugene’s birthday!
Oh, yeah – and Election Day.
There are a LOT of issues out there to consider, to weigh carefully, and to leverage in making your decision on candidates and proposals.  The importance of different issues differs not just [...]
