I love Christmas. I love Christmas carols, Christmas decorations, Christmas goodies, the works. But for some reason this year I am having a very difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit. I’ve bought quite a few presents already but I haven’t written any cards yet or put up any decorations. I just don’t feel like it and I don’t… Read more »

It’s actually a warm kitty. I have one in my lap right now purring and if that isn’t contentment I don’t know what is. My baby girl Pumpkin is a constant course of happiness for me!

While I was there I heard a snippet of the song “My Way” that has been recorded by many people over the years, mostly famously Frank Sinatra. Since my brain loves… Read more »
I am taking part in a 6 week team building training class at work. Today we talked about different personality types and how to work with people who are different than you and we took a personality test. One thing that was cool about this particular test that there were two parts to it- one for your work personality… Read more »
