And the view is just fabulous! I was going to do a complete birthday rundown: activities, celebrations, presents…you know, the whole schtick. But instead I’m going to take a trip down memory lane to the good old days. No, not the 80’s. Before that. They weren’t great days, but they were good and they were… Continue reading I’m not over the hill yet, but I’m nearing the top
You say it’s your birthday
Well, technically, it’s not. That would be yesterday. But today’s the day we’re officially “celebrating” as a family, so we can pretend yesterday never happened. This year I turn 39. Yep, I’m just 12 short months away from “The Big One.” That gives me 364 days to try to somehow reclaim my youth before I… Continue reading You say it’s your birthday
For my Queen of Shoes, from your humble Princess of Fuzzy Slippers
So I open my internet browser this morning, and the very first thing to greet my sleepy eyeball is this story from Yahoo! news: What shoes say about you.

AI Predictions: Hooray for “Dolly”-wood

You can imagine my surprise to hear this announcement on the news today: Iconic Candy Bar Now Called The Finger You can read all about… Continue reading What’s in a Name?
DWTS Recap & Predictions
Last night the ten remaining contestants competed in the jive and tango. And since I don’t feel like doing housework right now, I’ll take the time to offer a full recap! Adam performed the tango, and – as much as I hate to admit it – I liked it. I thought he did a decent… Continue reading DWTS Recap & Predictions

Okay, I am officially FREAKED OUT!
You wanna know why? Lookee what I just found on my studio floor:
Proud of our MVK!
At the end of February I received an exciting email from Trey’s teacher: Trey is the Most Valuable Maverick. He will be receiving his award this Friday at 8:45 at the Mavs Fan Jam. I hope to see you there! After doing a little further research, I determined that this was the “big deal”…the award… Continue reading Proud of our MVK!
March Madness 2008
It’s finally here!! Just pretend it’s last Thursday and be all excited with me! The NCAA basketball tournament has finally begun, and I must admit, there’s really not a more exciting couple of weeks in college sports. I love the first weekend of the tournament, when everyone’s brackets are clean, when optimism is high and… Continue reading March Madness 2008
