Last year on this day I said:
And we hope in 2008 that:
I’ll get a job – check
The other house will sell – nope, but it is rented
We will add another Clumber to the family and I will get back to doing fun dog things – half and half — we added a rescue Clumber and [...]

As Blog365 winds down, I’m looking ahead to January and to taking a break from blogging. I’m also taking a break from everything else and going to a dog show. Chances are excellent that trip will provide some blog fodder. There’s usually a train wreck or two that could prove worthy.
My blogging plan for 2009 [...]

So with just three posts left in blog365 I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I’m pretty sure it’s not an oncoming train. Still, I’m rambling more like someone who hasn’t slept in 362 days, not someone who has blogged that many consecutive days. (I really did more than that. [...]

Eleanor seems to think I have forgotten she is not her brother. She’s been telling me this in a wide variety of ways since I was just a few weeks pregnant, but has decided to redouble her efforts tonight anyway, just in case.

The purging of the house continues. We did a bit more in the basement today, before turning our attention to the kitchen. We went through every cupboard and drawer, and I’m pleased to say we now have some space on a few shelves and homes for all that needed one. We got rid of a [...]

You don’t need to have painted the quadratic equation on your bedroom wall for me to spot a future geek. Oliver is learning to use his new Leapster, under CD’s watchful eye.
As you can see, Oliver recovered from whatever plague he had yesterday. He woke up early this morning, hungry and thirsty, and with no [...]

Today was not the Christmas any of us had in mind. Oliver woke up miserable, with a temp over 104. Motrin brings it down but he just wanted to curl up on the couch with mum or dad and watch Cars and Finding Nemo. He isn’t interested in food and only will drink under protest. [...]

I had this crazy idea a while back, one I originally saw on a blog (fancy that!), to build a play kitchen for the kids. Both of them are drawn to the play kitchens in their respective classrooms. I procured nearly all the pieces and thought it would something fun for CD and I to [...]

I’m a little behind. This isn’t the whole list, just the top ten, including a few of my usual digressions.
I haven’t wrapped anything yet.
I haven’t made the gingerbread cookie dough either.
Wow! I keep hearing people say Mike Tomlin looks like Omar Epps. I just figured out who that is. Yeah, there’s a resemblance.

I interrupt our regularly scheduled coverage of the 24 days of Christmas (CD opened a glass penguin ornament that looks a lot like the one I opened yesterday) to bring you a newsflash. I WIN. And I win money. This part was a revelation to me when email from the commissioner arrived yesterday. I somehow [...]
