Yup, it’s that time again – time to wash away the old and bring in the new. It’s time to reflect on the past year – all the ups and all the downs – and think about our hopes and dreams for the coming year. This act of self reflection is typically represented in the [...]

December – The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Posted in Holiday Fun, Lists, This Month Rocks, Uncategorized, tagged Christmas, December, Holiday, Month on December 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I am a dreamer – not only am I lost in thought at many points during the day, but I dream so much at night that it’s sometimes exhausting (no pun intended). Almost every morning, I wake up distinctly recalling at least two dreams I had the night before, and I actually have one reoccurring [...]

Well right now it’s 5:30 P.M and I am plumb stuffed! After three platefuls of turkey and gravy, mashed sweet potatoes with brandy sauce, cranberries, mashed potatoes, rolls, peas, carrots green beans, stuffing, oyster dressing, pumpkin cake, and pumpkin pie all washed down with white wine, the tryptophan effect is in full force. But before [...]

It’s that time of year in which we are, once again, faced with the decision to either set our alarms at 3:30 A.M, drag ourselves out of bed, and shlep our way to Best Buy or Target, or…keep on sleeping and possibly miss the “deal of the year.” Yup, we are only 9 days away [...]

So, as I thoughtfully write this post, I fully expect for some dude with a mask and a chainsaw to come up behind me with a cheesy grin whispering some sinister words like “say your prayers cause you’re about to die.” Okay, not really, but my peripheral vision is in overdrive and I have looked [...]
Honoring Our Nation’s Veterans
Posted in Holiday Fun, Straight-up Inspiration, Uncategorized, tagged Military, Veterans Day on November 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Growing up, I used to think that Veterans Day was a day honoring only older people, like our great-grandparents who fought in World War I and our grandparents who fought in the Korean War or World War II. Now, as an adult who recalls the exact moment I first learned of the September 11, 2001 [...]

Well, October’s gone – it disappeared as quickly as my Halloween candy stash – but now, we venture into November as we all look forward to the fourth Thursday of the month in which we engorge in turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. But, we have many days leading up to Turkey Day, so lets take [...]

In honor of Halloween, I am providing you some history on the true purpose of Halloween – consuming inordinate amounts of candy while dressed like a fool – I just love a holiday that is so accepting of an activity I would enjoy engaging in more than once a year Just to let you know, [...]
In Honor of the Great Pumpkin
Posted in Hilarity, Holiday Fun, Uncategorized on October 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So it’s only two weeks until Halloween; it has crept up so quickly! As we all know, Halloween is characterized by trick-or-treating, witches, haunted houses, skeletons, costumes, candy corn, orange and black, and … PUMPKINS! I love pumpkins. “Pumpkin” is actually one of my favorite words. I like how it sounds on my tongue, the [...]

Why Love October? Let Us Count the Ways… America Celebrates Columbus Day! (Say it with me – “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue…”) Halloween! We can eat all the candy and chocolate we want while dressed in ridiculous costumes. If you have kids, nieces, nephews, etc., you have an excuse to eat some of [...]
