The New Year List

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I got a cold for Christmas and spent the whole week (a vacation week from work) hanging around the house in my PJs. I had a million plans for the week, all out the window. But I am choosing to be positive and

The Christmas Song List

As many of us probably are this week, I am writing this week’s list with a very heavy heart.  What happened in my neighbor state of Connecticut last Friday was unbelievable, unbearable.  We can’t believe that someone could do something like that to anyone, let alone kids so little.  But the fact of the matter is,

The Awesome List

I was going to cop out of this week’s list meme and make a list about why my son is great. I mean, when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, his response was “A penguin Dream Lite, for Mommy.” How sweet is he? But I talk about how he’s awesome all the time,

And maybe him, too. http://m.psychologytoday.com/articles/201107/sense-and-sensitivity Any other HSPs out there?

Throwback Thursday

My father gave me a CD of old photos tonight — he had some old slides scanned at Walmart. They came out pretty well considering the age of the photos. Which I will not disclose. 🙂 Here is evidence disproving my former belief that my hair was actually sort of calm when I was younger.

The Then and Now List

I’m back and ready to participate in Monday Listicles! Thanks to Christine for the great topic. I missed the topic “10 Compliments” last week. We were traveling back from the lovely state of New Hampshire on Monday and there was much house-cleaning and laundry to be done in the days following our vacation. It was definitely
