Bookclub Kit
Ever thought of starting a book club? I did several months ago! I figured it was about time I crawl out from behind my computer and meet with real people face to face, and I wasn’t interested in playing Bunko. I thought a book club was the perfect solution and the good people at Christian…

Tidbits with Timmy: Brotherly Love
Memories: Jan 28, 2004 Brotherly Love Today instead of going to the gym like I do every M/W/F, Timmy and I snuggled in bed. It was too cold to drag the kids outside (that was my excuse on Monday) and I was a bit lazy and too comfortable in bed. While watching Sesame Street we…
Technically Challenged Seeks Help!
I have to admit. I’m behind the times a bit when it comes to the computer and other technology. Not as bad as my own mom, but I’m still lagging! After doing some research I finally got around to getting a ZUNE last year. Don’t ask me how long it took me to figure out…

I Must Be CRAZY and an Update on Life!
But I’m sure you already figured that out! Tomorrow was supposed to be Timmy’s 8th Birthday party. We ordered sunshine for his SURVIVOR party. But it’ll be raining all week. Thursday was supposed to be the rain date for party. Supposed to be 40% showers. So I emailed everyone asking if Sunday would be better,…
Of Car Washes & New Binders
A friend and I were talking. She was telling me how annoyed she got one day last week. The story went like this. Monday was a beautiful day, so she decided to get a car wash. Her white car shone in the bright summer sun—clean down to the white wall tires. She was so proud…
