Oh, so many reasons for my absence here. Mostly, though, I have been focused on some other projects. House Projects: Now that it is consistently nicer outside, we’ve been focusing on things that need to get done around the house. This is our first summer in a house (we lived in a condo for the [...]

On Mother’s Day we brought Jasper home. Unsure of how things were going to go, I think our first week has gone pretty well. Tim never really had a dog growing up, although I think his parents would disagree with that, and I only had one — a Lhasa Apso named Gizmo that we got [...]

There are a number of reasons why I refrain from talking about him. My parents separated and divorced in my early high school years. That was [...]

Wow, it has been a while since I posted on here. And, even though I’m posting today, I really don’t have much to say. Last week the girls and I were sick with the flu. I really have no idea if it was the seemingly popular Swine Flu or just the good ol’ flu, but [...]
