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)…

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…
