April 15, 2008

Last summer Shannon encouraged me to accompany her to Kansas City to eat BBQ and meet people we knew only via blogging. And to stay at a complete stranger’s home. Mmmmmkaaaaaay.

It’s Starting…

September 16, 2007

I started cleaning the house today in preparation for decoration. Halloween decoration, that is. And the kids are in the living room playing with vampire costumes and axes, discussing the finer points of a witch’s brew, while listening to the Haunting Sounds of Halloween. Life is, indeed, good.
