Don’t Say It Was So Bad…
As I type this post in the last few hours of 2008, I think about all the people who would look at this year and wish it had never happened. The state of our country (and our planet for that matter) is pretty bad although we’ve elected a man...
Sales for Sale
I haven’t been working for almost the last 6 months. The first two of those months I was so gigantically pregnant that I didn’t want to move. The last four of the months have quite obviously been rather hectic but I’ve still found time to watch a lot of...
The Last Year
Well now that we’re moving forward I thought I’d take some time to look back. You see very personal though it may be, I feel like I should share a bit of my pregnancy journey and what better time to do it than almost exactly a year since the...
The End
All day I’ve had this unsettled feeling like my good friend is going to the death chamber tonight and that last minute reprieve is unlikely to come. I have no idea what will happen to Harry in the last installment of the series and I’m utterly terrified of finding...

26 and Counting…

Memo to TV
Attention Network Television Executives: I have stopped watching your TV shows. What do I care? You ask. Well, it’s true, we are just one household. You’ve got millions. But we are your most perfect demographic—the one that gets the most advertising dollars out there and we are not alone....
Again!!
The Gators own the college athletic world! In 364 Days, one school has accomplished the greatest feat of all time– capturing 3 National Titles– Basketball, Football and Baksetball. Is there any doubt what school that could be? Nah, it’s UF. Of course, “We’re not conceited, we just really are...
Flying High
My Gator flag had humble beginnings. I moved into an different apartment for my last semester of college. Such a temporary situation did not warrant my usual homey decorating. I had the bare necessities and a few things to keep the gigantic room from looking so plain. On one...
