It’s Sunday and it’s a beautiful day, so I think I’m going to take the dog for a walk. I should be doing other, inside stuff. We’re having the 8th grade parents over tonight from 5-7, so I really should be getting ready for that, but the sky is such a beautiful shade of blue …

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday, and I haven’t done any of the long list of things I needed to do this week. Well, I take that back, I did get three bat mitzvah gifts yesterday. I think that makes about 32 bat/bar mitzvah gifts that we have bought over the last year. We’re at …

TITANS WIN!!! They looked really great tonight! Keith Bullock had 3 interceptions, and a smile as wide as his shoulders. It was a fantastic game. I love when the odds are against us…that’s when they seem to really do their best. Vince Young had an awesome debut on MNF. I know it’s early in the …

What a great weekend. It is a long drive, but it’s worth it. The view from the balcony is really breathtaking. We face the west so the sunset behind the mountains and the lake right below is so beautiful. When I got there with the girls, J had the wine open, potatoes in the oven, …

Fed the dog, ate dinner, watched a repeat of “Friends” (which takes about 22 minutes, since we fast forward the tivo through the commercials), then back …

I LOVE this weather! It’s finally cooling off. Makes such a huge difference in everything we do. I can go for a run at 10 a.m. without worrying about heatstroke, we sat outside at H’s soccer game on Saturday and it’s just glorious. Saturday night we had a few friends over for dinner and sat …

I’ve got to talk about Britney Spears. In a way, I should thank her. Her behavior has been a wonderful lesson for H about how poor decisions can be quite destructive. Hannah was 7-8 when we first started listening and watching Britney. “Hit me baby”, and “oops, I did it again” were catchy and cute …

Saturday I rode my first 100 mile bike ride. It was a fund raiser for breast cancer research. I liked the timing of it…not in the middle of the summer, which is just TOO hot here. It gave me the whole summer to train for it, so it worked out well. In the past this …
