Ahh... Amazon. I used to be such a mall rat, but lately, I can't believe just how much I buy online, especially for the holidays. (Wait, does anyone say "mall rat" anymore?) On Black Friday, while everyone else was standing in long lines and fighting for the last flat screen tv, I spent most of the . . .

Big News: We are Moving and Adopting
Yes, you read that right. We are moving AND adopting. Ugh. Just writing the words "we are moving" up there makes my heart hurt.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes…
Changes Ch-ch-ch-changes...That song never fails to run through my head when someone says "changes". I know, I've been missing in action lately. I took a break. I needed it. I was having a mini-meltdown over trying to blog and accomplish things in real life, and keep my perspective about this . . .

2013: Changes
I know I'm a bit late on this, but Happy New Year!! According to the Mayan Calendar, we aren't supposed to be here right now.

Out of my League? Yep. But I’m still playing.
I know I've been MIA lately. Sorry. I've been having a bit of a internal struggle about whether I should keep blogging. Let me take a minute to explain. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
