NaBloPoMo (11/24) – Day 26: Thankful
It’s the night before Thanksgiving in the United States. I’ve been prepping and cooking and baking….and I still have some cooking to do. Around 2:30am, I need to prepare the turkey and put it in the oven. I’ll wake up to the smell of a roasting turkey. Yum. Before I head off to church, I’ll…

It’s not really Christmas until…
It’s the holiday season. Christmas is upon us and soon we’ll be celebrating the start of a new year. However, I found it very odd that I really hadn’t been feeling “Christmas-y”.

DWTS: Reflections on the Eve of the Finals
When it comes to Dancing With the Stars, I usually blog on Monday and Tuesday nights. Those are the nights that the show is on and that’s when I post my recaps. It’s Sunday night. What gives? To be honest, I just can’t take it any more. This season has simply been far too amazing…

Friday’s Truths – Don’t be offensive, or you’ll be offended.
Another work week has come and gone…we lumber on to the weekend. Well, you may skip, leap, or frolic on to the weekend. I shall continue to lumber. What did I learn as I’ve moved through another Friday? If your boss is losing sleep over budgets, costs, and P&L…trust me, you will soon, too. It’s…

I am super-dee-duper-dee excited!!
If you’ve been keeping up at all with my Dancing With The Stars recaps, you’ve probably figured out my new obsession with all things Katherine Jenkins. Mostly, I’ve fallen completely in love with her music. I’ve worn out pretty much every youtube video I could find. (Yes, I know it’s not really possible to wear…
