You know when you go over to someone’s house after a vacation and they make you look through all their vacation photos. What is it about blogging that makes it somewhat acceptable?
How about we get through all of the vacation pictures in one post?!
What you’re looking at includes:
Playing with my camera settings by [...]

My mom got my niece and nephews a Wii for Christmas (don’t worry, they don’t read this). I am getting them a second controller and I think my mom mentioned heading back to the store for MarioKart. What else do they need to be completely spoiled by us?
P.S. Yes, I am supposed to be studying [...]

Before it gets too late, I wanted to finish my Thanksgiving holiday posts. While their mom was putting out the breakable Christmas decorations, I helped the kids write their letters to Santa.
(see breakable – a big temptation for little fingers)

Last time I was in Vegas for Thanksgiving, we went hiking in Red Rock Canyon. One thing I miss about living in Florida is elevation. Seriously, I don’t think we even have hills around here! (and by the way, I thought I took a lot of pictures last year – 103 – I took 241 [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent an extended Thanksgiving break with my family at my brother’s house in Vegas.
It was a really great time that actually included helping my mom sign up for Facebook. Yup – that’s right, my mom and I are Facebook friends!
Anyway, as she gets more and more tech [...]
In Ohio for a conference. We are staying at a college in a dorm, which wouldn’t be that big of a deal except for the….
COMMUNAL BATHROOMS!
I think I might be too old for this.
They do have wireless on the whole campus so I should be able to stay somewhat connected this week when [...]

I just got off the phone with my mom. My aunt just passed away from pancreatic cancer.
I am so mad about the months she was incorrectly diagnosed!! I know the odds with pancreatic cancer but the options lost during those precious months infuriate me.

My JDRF walk is tomorrow. I did not meet my goal. Including what I have in cash from family and work friends, I have about $212 of my $250 goal. I would say I tried, but I really didn’t. I had great plans – those paper shoes you can sell, raffle tickets, donation buckets, the [...]

Wow. It seems like I haven’t posted in a really long time. I don’t know that I have gone 10 days without posting since I practically started blogging. I haven’t felt motivated to do much of anything lately. Other than shop – but I’m not sure it helped. I really should put together my JDRF [...]

My family got some really bad news this week. My mom (in back) found out that her baby sister has cancer.My aunt was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes around the holiday season this year. She went this week to get her regular allergy shot and the doctor said he could not give it to her [...]
