I Laughed, and It Was Good

March 24, 2009

I’m going to let you in on something that’s been plaguing me for about five months now: I’m kind of burned out with blogging. It’s taken almost five years, but I’m starting to find it a chore when it used to be fun. I’m not alone in this, Michelle wrote a post pretty much saying [...]

The Best Movies You May Not Think to Show Your Kids

January 15, 2009

I am a movie lover and have been known to sit through many a teen-angst B movie on a Saturday afternoon because the movie-ness is so delicious and it's completely mindless entertainment. Sometimes you just need that. I can watch all kinds of movies: action, comedy, thriller, horror, romance, drama, whatever. I like good movies, [...]

It’s Time to Get Funky

January 9, 2009

My friends, I am in a funk. (All together now: How funky are you?) I'll tell you how funky I am. I'm going to get a new car tomorrow and I couldn't care less. And this new car? It comes with Bluetooth capabilities for my phone. Which means I can be hands-free in my car [...]
