Now I love our school district and quite frankly, I’d take a bullet for it. Go ahead and be jealous because we have the...

Lend me your ear
This is the best explanation I’ve seen for the credit crisis we are facing in America. The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo. I’m not rich and I harbor no animosity towards those who are, but somewhere along the way the love of money overruled common sense and good decision making. And...
Take THAT all you pretty people!
Right on, Bonnie Hunt. You’re absolutely right.

Anything but Merry
Darren and I woke up at 4:30 this morning to shop for Christmas presents for the children because we apparently like the insanity of last minute shopping and gift-wrapping.
