TToT – Summer’s Fast and Final Blast
How can a week go by so quickly and so slowly at the same time? Somehow, these last two weeks have flown by in exactly that manner and Labor Day is upon us. We’ve had a wonderful last bit of summer, even if it did go by a little too quickly. Zilla and I have spent…
TToT – Disappearing Act
I know, I know. I got everybody all excited about my big job move, promised I would explain in more detail what I’ll be doing next…and then completely – and unintentionally – disappeared from this space all week. I felt sort of “eh” on Saturday afternoon last week. I figured I was just tired from our amusement…
TToT – A Dizzying Week
There is certainly no dearth of thankfulness this week! So many things have happened – and happened well, at that. It’s been a good week all around. Kind of a head-spinning week, really. So while I have much to be thankful for, I found it sort of overwhelming to sort it all out, put it…
The Open Door
I have tried for days to write this post. I have wanted to write this post for months. I practiced it in my head. OK, I had one line down, but still. This should not have been the post that I struggled to write. It kind of bothers me because rarely, if ever, do I…
TToT – Taking Care of Business
I am late to the party this week, but I’m here! It’s been a very eventful week and there is much to do in the week ahead. For now, I want to pause for just a few minutes and make note of the week’s highlights. There is much for which to be thankful… First, on a…
Turning Point – The First Day
There is no better way to introduce it or say it than to just do it: The Fab Hub has a brand new job!!! Woo hoo! Hooray! And thank the Lord! It’s exactly what he needs to make this break into the world of IT. It’s the door we have been hoping would open. I…
TToT – Tentative and Ambivalent
I’m having a bit of trouble with my list of thankfuls this week. It’s not that I don’t have things for which I am thankful. I do. But I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about a few of them. I thought about skipping this week, since I couldn’t quite get my brain around it, but then…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Final Recap
Well, we’re here. We’re finished. OK, maybe we’re not ever going to be finished. It’s not like we’re going to do a huge Clean and Purge and then just…not. But this long-awaited and much-need effort has reached its end. From this point forward we are on the maintenance program. And there is good reason for…
TToT – Beautiful Summer Days
This week just felt like summer. We had a great lunch at an old favorite hot dog place early this week. While of course you can have a hot dog any time you feel so moved, there is something about this place that goes with summer. Maybe it’s because we always got their take-home doggie…
Summer Reading with Kidzilla
Summer reading programs are simply awesome. As far as I’m concerned, any program that gets kids reading and introduces them to new books is awesome. Like many children, Kidzilla participates in our public library’s summer reading program. She loves books. She loves to read. Hitting the library opens up a whole new world of reading…
