Seriously.  It’s taken me DAYS to process this and reflect on the course of my life… My Cubbies…..remain losers, extending their playoff ineptitude to 9 straight games, marking 2 consecutive years of winning the division title and then being swept out of the playoffs, and propelling their long-suffering fans into…

So, it seems as though my blogging has become cyclical.   I keep up with it; then I fall apart as I get busy and it’s just ONE more thing to do each day.   So, if you’re still reading, thanks for sticking with me!   🙂 An update on life: I went…

At dinner last night.  (Yes, I’m a bad parent, we had the TV on) Me:   Oh look, a Barack Obama commercial! (seriously) Haven’t seen one of those in awhile! Punky:   Yay Barack Obama Wins!  Go Obama! Seriously…… Should I rent him out?    🙂

Is it Friday already?!??!?!?!   😉   Here are this weeks favorites in my world…. This week, I am loving the namerings I ordered at the Great Minnesota Get-Together (aka The State Fair).  I have “Tendrils *heart* Hubby” (ok, I used our real names on the rings!) on one band…….and “Punky” on…

This morning at our house while watching the birds at our feeder. Punky:   What bird is that? Mommy:   A Mourning Dove Punky: points to the birds on the electrical lines in our backyard. Those the night ones?
