I was planning on hitting some sales today, but I am not one of those die-hards that has to be there before the 5 a.m. opening of the stores. That, my friend, is insane. I treasure sleep too much to worry about saving $10 on something. But I did head out mid morning with a [...]

Thanks

2. Traveler and I are both gainfully employed with no signs of the economy rearing its head in our direction.
3. I have 2 of my cousins in my life again. They are fantastic and I am loving getting to know them as adults.

Slacker
Yes, I’m talking about myself. Did I take any pictures of my Sass’s birthday party? No. Did I have a fantastic time herding cats for 2 hours Saturday afternoon? Yes. It was utter chaos in my house. I know 1 person took pictures, and I’m planning on hitting her up for copies.

Another Birthday
The end of the year in our house is a little crazy. I wish I would have had more foresight to not have so much fun around Valentine’s Day and I guess St. Patrick’s Day. Sass’s 6th birthday is Monday and will be having a rip-roaring good time tomorrow evening. Hopefully I [...]
