I am so very tired. I want to crawl under my covers and just stay there.
Last night we watched the Tivo’d Oprah with my pretend boyfriend, Barack Obama. I had planned to write a long and winding tribute to this amazing man.
Instead, I woke up this morning and found myself transported back to junior high. The short version is that business and money got in the way of [...]
I can’t go to Denver and not provide you with pictures of my wonderful Godbaby girls, can I?

This weekend was our yearly punkin huntin expedition. Sure, I was hobbled, but David more than made up for my handicap. He came downstairs sporting an orange t-shirt we picked up in Alaska. His rational, and I must say I’m truly impressed with it, was that the orange would camouflage him and [...]
