Book Review

I am a book junkie.  I have an account on Goodreads.com.  I am organized by nature.  But although I love the idea of it,  I have had a hard time keeping track of my books on Goodreads.  I entered a whole slew of them in the beginning but haven’t been interested in keeping track after [...]

Connections

Times have changed.  We live in a world where information is at our fingertips – literally.  We can Google our neighbors, our office coworkers or even the last person we met at a party and often find at least something about them on the internet.  Sometimes I feel like that is a bad thing – [...]

Mom

My mom is an amazing woman.  I get many qualities from her – my ability to be organized, my artistic sense, my “get it done” attitude.   Plus, besides my eyes being dark with crazy eyebrows to go with them (thanks, Dad), I look more like my mom than my dad.
For my birthday this year she [...]

Download Day – I Am Woman…

We had some trouble this weekend.  Jason was in  a car accident – he was the only one in the car and is not hurt.  Don’t worry.  But his handicap-accessible van that he was driving is not so fine.  We’re not sure yet if the insurance company will declare it totaled or not, but either [...]
