“To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. But to feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, from those unknown to us, who are watching over our sleep and solitude, over our dangers and our weaknesses — that is something still greater and more beautiful because it widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.”
– Pablo Neruda, from “Childhood and Poetry”
1 CommentsJuly is my birthday month, which is one of the only reasons I like July. Honestly, this month is just too hot for me. July makes me long for September. But since my birthday falls towards the end of the month I have to at least try to enjoy July for what it is. The fact that my daughter’s birthday is in June helps matters a bit because it puts me in a celebratory mood before July even starts.
Seems like almost everyone we know is a summer baby (or close to it). From June to Labor Day we will celebrate my daughter’s birthday, my birthday, my mother in law’s birthday, my dad’s birthday, various friends and cousins birthdays, my father in law’s birthday, my husband’s birthday and the wedding anniversary of both my parents and my in-laws.
Is that a lot of celebrating or what?! Yeah the summer isn’t so bad….if we could just do something about this heat it would be one long party! 
I dream of an entire summer of 75 degree days….bliss!

So we did it, we survived 12 whole months as parents! My baby girl recently celebrated her first birthday! Woot! Reflecting on this past year I have come to realize that having a baby makes it very difficult to do a lot of the things I used to find simple and quick. Here is a […]

After six incredible, ming-boggling, confusing, kick-a$$, jaw-dropping, beautiful seasons my favorite show has come to an end. I am truly sad about the end of the LOST series.
For those of you who have never seen it, well I cannot even begin to describe it. And I am afraid I would not do it justice if […]
Back in January 2007 (sorry still no archives, boo!), I posted about Team Hoyt (http://www.teamhoyt.com) - an amazing father and son team who compete together in marathons and triathlons across the country. To say these two are inspiring is a huge understatement. I encourage you to check out their site and read/see their incredible story.

I happened to switch on the country music station today and heard this song. At first it seemed like a typical country western song until the chorus kicked in. Got a good laugh out of it. Maybe it isn’t always a good thing when someone says they are praying for you?! LOL
Enjoy!

Ever come across something, a song, a quote, a poem, and think man I wish I wrote that! Happened the other day re: the words below:
“This is what it is to love an artist: The moon is always rising above your house. The houses of your neighbors look dull and lacking in moonlight. But he […]

I finally did it, I finally got a blackberry. And like all of the Blackberry users I always teased, I too am addicted to it. The older I get, the more I find myself putting anything technology related into two categories: things that will enhance my every day life and things that won’t. The Blackberry […]

Do you know what a flash mob is? If you don’t I will save the explanation and let you see for yourself in the video I am linking to below. Apologies for not embedding it directly for easy access…I am still learning!
The video is from Oprah’s 24th season kickoff show in downtown Chicago. […]
Apparently most people find it difficult to be polite these days. When was the last time you had someone hold a door for you, or had someone thank you when you held the door for them? Probably hard to remember, right?
Due to what I believe is a major bump in general rudeness, I am now […]
How many of us have written an email or called a customer service number to report terrible service? I know I have! While I do think it is appropriate to complain when you receive truly horrendous service, I also think it is important to compliment those that go above and beyond.
A few years ago when […]
One of my favorite commericials at the moment is the Van De Kamps “Ever catch a minced fish?!” commercial. I think it is so cute!
Sorry haven’t mastered embedding videos yet….so click here if you would like to see the video for yourself.
