The Time Has Come

For One And All...

To Play Ball!

Who can name that movie?!

This post isn't about a movie. But it is that time to get ready for...the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!

I had a dream last night that I totally showed up late and rather than walk the walk, I had to run the walk. Not fun...I'm a walker, not a runner.

I'm including a link to my donation page. Please feel free to pass the link along to friends and family. The more people that know about this wonderful cause, the better!

God Bless the Bay Area



I'm a wimp, pansy, baby, whatever you want to call me. But I'm not a snow nor a cold weather person.

On Christmas night, it got down to 15 degrees (according to the car) in Tahoe. We are now home and it's currently 47 degrees outside and that's about as cold as I prefer.

I will enjoy my frost dusted lawn tomorrow morning as I leave for work.

Advent Week 4


The final week has come and gone. We all agreed that this is something we should have started years ago. It gave me something to look forward to every Monday morning.

We shared Christmas with my family last night, since we won't see them on Thursday. Amy gave the kids harmonicas before the festivities started. They "treated" us to music all night long.


Until next year, Advent.

Anyone wanna make it 17?

After counting last weekend, between LaVor and I, we know 16 people that are pregnant. We're related to a quarter of them.

Finish Him!

I'm not sure if it would be considered A.D.D. or what but I've never been a fan of movies. Sitting for long periods of time is hard for me. I can only think of what else I could be doing with that time.

Somehow, Karate Kid appeared on the t.v. today and that movie is an exception. My family was discussing the other night how when you're little, you seem to not catch everything. Like the fact that Johnny was rolling a joint in the bathroom stall when Daniel strategically placed the hose above him and turned the water on. But I love the movie now just as much as I did growing up!

For a while now, I've had "You're the Best" by Joe 'Bean' Eposito and "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama on our Ipod.

And somehow, no matter how many times I watch it, the ending can always make me cry.
