Christmas Wrap

December 26, 2007 – 11:06 pm

It’s a wrap! Christmas is all over. Phew! Yes, that’s festive, I know.

You Want to Watch What??

December 4, 2007 – 5:07 pm

Ahhh, my Husband. Sometimes you just have to laugh at those goofy creative types. He’s spent the entire last month working his cute little petunias off on this massive work project. Last week he did a couple 18 hours and several 14’s. When he finally finished over the weekend, he looked like he had no [...]
