— Here’s What I Have to Say —

Yesterday our 44th president was sworn into office. I did not vote for him and I was also not a huge supporter of our 43rd president. But regardless, I had respect for the position. I find it so sad that people were booing 43 out of office and had such a lack of consideration and...

I am the slowest readers in the world. I had been reading this book for ages and finally finished not to long ago (and have since finished another book I'll write about soon). I had heard many good things about this book and we had talked about reading it for Book Club (which isn't held...

I haven't gotten around to posting pictures from Christmas. I haven't been posting as much as I would like in general. But mostly because I don't feel like playing on a computer when I get home from work. I just want to do something that doesn't involve thinking or typing. 🙂 But I am going...

This is what happens to me when I read in bed. I was sitting upright at one point and apparently toppled over. Chuck came home from hockey to find me like this and kindly took pictures for me! 🙂

This is yet another one of the fun gifts I got Chuck. This one was for his birthday. He sent me a video of it and was so excited. So of course, this little beauty was delivered to our house! He hasn't had a lot of time to put it together, but I can tell...

I got this little beauty for Chuck this year after a friend mentioned she got one for her hubby for Christmas. As soon as she mentioned it I knew Chuck would love it. Now we just need it to be nice outside so we can look at stars. I think it will be a very...

I am terrible at surprises. So this year I actually got TWO things for Chuck for Christmas that the didn't know about. The first one was this stick hockey game from Games By James. My step dad was with me when we saw this and I think he was jealous of it and wanted one...

Today is Chuck's birthday! We had a fun-filled and busy day. We rang in the new year with some great friends and then sang Chuck “Happy Birthday” immediately after. Which was then followed by cupcakes! We had gone snow tubing with said friends and had a blast! We had never been before, and I think...

Today is the final day of 2008. This was a good year! I am a little sad to see it go. But I know there are a lot of new exciting adventures ahead. I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year's Eve! See you in 2009!

A while back I said I saw some really cool cakes at Lunds. Well, we were there again, and this time I took some pictures of them! Feel free to get hungry while you gaze at them! And my favorite…. Aren't they cute!? They make me want to make and decorate cakes for a living....

This was another one of my gifts from Chuck. This one is made by Garmin. I have been wanting my own GPS for a while. We started looking at them for his grandparents and I wanted one even more after looking at them! I love this little thing! It's so useful. I love that it...

One of the gifts Chuck got me for Christmas was this adorable little Dell Mini laptop. This thing is so tiny as you can see by the pencil sitting next to it in the picture. It's really light and has no movable parts, so there isn't much to break on this. It runs Linux (for...

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. All I have to give you today is a terrible picture of myself I took with my phone a couple weeks ago. I liked my hair this day, so I snapped a photo. Just pretend I am one of Santa's little...

Merry Christmas Eve! I am hanging out with family in Iowa and having a great time. I just wanted to share this one little picture I came across the other day. I loved the colors of the decorated cupcakes…of course I do…it's pink! So I thought I would share. Here's to hoping you are eating...

I got these at REI when I was there last and got the other items I posted….boots, gloves. I love these pants. They are kind of a wind pant material and they are so comfortable. They fit me really well and I was so excited about that. These are definitely an upgrade from the kids...

I got myself a new jacket. I wanted a white/cream one for Chuck's work Christmas party. I couldn't find any in stock that I wanted and happened to walk by a Banana Republic and thought I would take a look. I was so excited to have found one I liked. This is a picture of...

Last night we went to see “White Christmas” at the Ordway in St. Paul. This was for Chuck's work Christmas party. It was so much fun. There was a delicious buffet beforehand and a chocolate fountain! The show was wonderful! The music was fabulous, the sets were gorgeous and I was mesmerized by the dancing!...

I usually get myself some really cheap kids boots for the winter and then can never understand why my feet are always cold. I guess I figure if they are kids boots, they will keep little kids warm. Man was I wrong. When I was at REI I came across these. They are still kids...

This weekend went by so quickly! I felt really crummy on Saturday. I think it was because I hadn't slept much during the time Chuck was gone and felt crummy that whole week from lack of sleep. So it finally caught up with me. I spent most of the day sleeping and Chuck went to...

I came across these at REI and had to have them. I just love the colors. I was so excited to see that they didn't have black or brown in them. Then I can wear them with anything and not feel silly! 🙂 (Except something red…I don't think I would wear them with something red.)...
