The other night, Sean read “Green Eggs and Ham” to Skye. And I mean, really read it, not just recited from memory. He struggled and stumbled, had to sound out the words.

Numbers 4 & 65 have now been crossed off the list. I was so excited to have finished the baby blanket in time for the birthday party, that I wrapped it up and handed it to them before I thought to take a picture of it! So you’ll have to trust me when I say, [...]

When I asked my mom to pick me up the cheesiest, cheapest and chintziest souvenir she could find, I was thinking along the lines of a bumper-sticker, key-chain or pencil. Well, she took my request to heart and really out-did herself. According to the receipt, she paid $1 for this. I think she was seriously [...]

Because I love her and am taking pity on her, I’m taking on the 7Things meme Sarah didn’t tag me with. Mostly because she leaves me comments. And I love me some comments! So here is Seven things about me you may or may not know (and may or may not care if you know): [...]

I’ve been a bit under the weather. It’s a cold or flue or something, I’m not sure exactly. Seriously sore throat, very painful. So you think that would deter eating… oh how you know me not! I’ve been eating all right. Mostly comfort-type food, usually found in styrofoam containers with logos on them. I find [...]

I’m crossing my first item off the 101/1001 list – #97 Get A Tattoo. After 3 years of debating and waiting, I finally did it. I’ve had this line drawing for years, a phoenix rising. It is so symbolic of me, both my spirit and my soul. My life keeps burning down around me and [...]
