Duck…Duck…Goose!

My Eulogy

I just spent this morning at the wake and funeral of one of my uncles.      The only one that was still alive that I knew growing up, though I hadn’t seen him in 8 years.     My dad and his brothers are all gone and have been for several years, and my mom is now left [...]

My Son is So Awesome to Me

I just wanted to write something bright and cheery today.    I love my life.    Yesterday I was talking with some friends at work about how I am looking forward to turning 30 next year.    I’d take being 30 yeras old over being 20 years old any day.    Life is so much about attitude and about [...]

The woman who interviewed me, Rebecca, was extremely nice and encouraging, and is apparently a native Ohioan (which may be why [...]

The Dark Knight and X-Files

I can’t remember the last time that hubby and I have gone out to see a movie together.  For us, there haven’t been that many movies that we’d both want to see enough to make finding a babysitter worthwhile.   But now, in the next two weeks, it may finally happen.
First, how could I not go [...]
