• Falling into Fall.

    Wow.  It's October 1st, already.  Although it's not exactly my favorite time of year, the kids have been having a ball pointing out the many signs of fall while we're out driving around town seeing all the yellow and red leaves on trees. But despite the cooler temps, I am…

  • Gas meme: $3.19 for me.

    I was able to score gas for $3.19 a gallon today at Costco in my neck of the woods.  How about you?  What are gas prices like in your 'hood?  I thought this might make a good meme for the blogosphere, so if you're reading this, post the meme on…

  • Blogging hiatus may be in sight.

    It's going to be a bit tricky to keep up with blogging over the next few days since I am down to one computer.  That's right peeps – my laptop crashed yet again last night.  Thankfully, I was able to (with the help of my wonderfully smart and tech-savvy husband)…

  • Prepping mode.

    The past couple of days, and today in particular, have been spent prepping my home for Halloween and fall decor.  Not that I am super excited about this time of year, but I realize I can't fight it.  The time is coming.  Ironically, although I detest fall and winter, I…

  • Please follow your school zone rules and common sense!

    I am so irritated by some of the driving I witnessed today.  Not only am I fearful for other children, but for my own as they grow and will eventually be riding bikes or possibly walking to school someday soon.  The behavior I witnessed today was so ridiculously careless that…

  • Not so fun stuff.

    About two weeks ago I went into my doctor's office for a yearly checkup when she informed me that my thyroid seemed a little enlarged.  Being the thorough doctor that she is, she suggested I have some bloodwork done and a sonogram of my neck.  I went about a week…

  • Friends & Fondue.

    Tonight I enjoyed a fun night out with a few local moms for some tasty treats!  We celebrated Ladies Night at Melting Pot.  I hadn't been there since the time I took my sister there and it was just as good as I remember it. We got a steal of …

  • Declining industry.

    I had an appearance this morning on KCTV 5 news, a station I actually had not been to before today, and I totally learned about something I never thought would actually happen. You know how when you watch the news and you see the anchors there, looking into the camera lens…

  • I got my butt kicked today…and other fun stuff.

    This morning straight after breakfast, the kids and I packed up and headed to the gym.  I had hoped to make it to the 9:30 a.m. hour-long cycling class, but by the time I got the kids checked in to the children's area, it was 9:34 and I hadn't even…
