Top 10 lists are just too long for me. Top 3 lists are more my speed- ha. Top 3 Ignorant Things to say about Obama #3 He’s Muslim. Michele’s official portrait features her in a sleeveless dress. That pretty well puts it to bed right there, but if you need more- He was sworn in on a Bible twice and… Read more »
The word “family” gets tossed around very casually these days. How often have we heard someone referring to their “work family” or their “(insert name of hobby here) family”? And what does that usually mean? Just a group of people who you like and/ or spend a lot of time with. Or, what we used to call “friends”. To me,… Read more »
I bought myself a coloring book last week. It’s full of beautiful drawings of cats in intricate surroundings. My husband thought it was a gift for my niece who turns four today, but nope, it’s for me. And I am loving it. It’s just one example of me not taking myself too seriously.

I’m not saying you should never say if or even that I… Read more »
Ugh. It’s that time of year again- the United Way fund raising season. For only $2 a week out of my paycheck I can do so many amazing things. Um no, I’ll pass. I’m not anti-charity. My current employer holds annual fundraisers for several other organizations each year- including events for our local food bank and animal shelter- that I… Read more »
Now that NFL training camps are wrapping up and the start of the new season is right around the corner more people are talking about Tim Tebow again and wondering what kind of role me might play in the Jet’s offense this year.
