What do you want for Christmas?
Lately I've been asked a lot what I want for Christmas.
So, what do you want for Christmas? Or Hanukkah or whatever you celebrate!
I'm Sad
In the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal at all and I know people have much bigger problems, so I hate to whine, but I'm going to for a second anyway. My parents are in the process of selling their house right now. They've been kicking around the idea for a while, but they listed it and sold it quickly (I think they underpriced it) and they have their meeting to finalize everything on Thursday. They haven't found a new place to buy yet, so they decided to rent a house for a bit because they don't want to rush into buying something they don't want. I know this is silly, but I am really sad about the fact that they will no longer own the house I grew up in. We have so many memories there and I love that house. We moved there when I was in second grade, so I spent more time there (by far) than in any other place we lived. They have a large wooded lot and the house is on a beautiful country road. Last Christmas, when my mom picked me up from the airport and drove down the street, the snow on the trees looked beautiful and I felt like I was home. (I love D.C., but for some reason, Ohio still feels like home to me.) They are moving to a smaller house on a tiny lot on a typical suburban street. It just won't be the same.How was your weekend?
Do anything fun??
Best Day EVER!
I just came back from a run, feeling pretty good, and thinking....Is this my Best Day Ever? Yes!
Everything I have been worried about is beginning to fall into place. Do I feel lucky? YES! Do I feel blessed? Absolutely!
I really believe in the power of positive thinking. Sometimes when things seem to be crumbling around me I remember what my Grandmother used to say... "let your light shine bright and the darkness will run away" so I have been particularly shiny and ever hopeful. Things are looking up!
Happy Veteran's Day everyone!
I thought it would be nice if we all shared who the Veteran's in our lives are.
Also these are my favorite Veteran charities:
Fischer House Veterans Charity
The Fischer House Veterans Charity got an "A+" from the veterans charities watchdog group. Its main goal is to provide homes for families to stay at if they are visiting veterans receiving care at VA hospitals or military medical centers.
Need a book to read!
I am so done with reading baby books, I need a break! Please suggest some books for me to read. I don't want anything political or too serious.Thanksgiving is coming!
So Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks! I can't believe it!!
I thought we could use this thread to post what we're looking forward to, recipes, ideas, tips, questions, etc etc!
Another new member to the family
I've been sick like a dog all week. If I didn't know better I'd swear I'd have that forsaken swine flu crap.
But there is a joy to the racking coughs and stuffy nose.
