This has been a busy week working and getting ready for our big yard sale tomorrow. I’ll be sure to post pics and results. We’ve made fabulous signs, taken out ads, notified friends and neighbors, so we’re hoping for a success. If only Rita wasn’t threatening to make gas a million dollars a gallon again.…

Sunday was my MIL’s birthday and Monday was National Talk like a Pirate Day. AArrgghh! I hope my girls love pirates like I do. I wonder, is it weird to have a pirate themed birthday party if you’re a girl?

Saturday Shannon and I headed out to the mall so I could pick up a little present for my MIL’s birthday. I also had a pair of shoes to exchange at Nordstrom that my inlaws had given me. I think I’m the only woman in the world who didn’t find a pair of shoes at…

I’ve decided that adopting is a lot like planning a wedding. You’re pledging to spend the rest of your life loving and caring for someone. A big trip is involved. A big party will be planned. Lots of pictures will be taken. Everyone has an opinion and must share it with you or else you’ll…

For some reason it weirds me out if they keep cutting back to shots of the commentators during football cause then I have to accept the face with the voice and sometimes they don’t match. I don’t mind the pre-game commentator intro, but I don’t wanna see them again for the rest of the game.

My main role at work is recruiting. I spend hours reading resumes and calling people to come in for interviews. In the last 3 weeks alone I have seen and heard some seriously funny stuff. From this I have decided that there are lessons to be learned when it comes to writing resumes, talking on…

I finally put up a hummingbird feeder- I’d been wanting to put it out since we moved in but didn’t feel like looking through the garage boxes for it. I’m so excited, this morning 2 little hummingbirds were fighting over who got to eat there. I said simmer down babies, there’s room for everyone. I…
