College!


YAY, WE ARE GRADUATING SOON!
So next year we are going to be in college, are you guys at all nervous? I know i am!

Are you planning on going somewhere far, like California or even over seas?!
Or staying close.. like Central and just living at home?

I'm thinking about going far enough to stay in a dorm, to get the college experience.
I was just curious as to what you all were thinking about doing/going and why! :)

Holiday Birthdays


As I am waiting for the arrival of my cousin's baby (the baby is due any day now) I wonder what it must be like to have a birthday so close to a holiday. Do you think people who have holiday birthday's don't get as much fan fare (gifts, etc) as people with birthdays at other times of the year? Sorry I couldn't resist putting up a photo of my son!

SNOW DAY BLISS


I know that I always enjoy a snow day. They are unexpected vacation time for me to spend with my family. I am wondering what is everyone's favorite thing about snow days? Plus, do you do anything special in hopes of getting a snow day?

Holidays=Things??

As we get closer to the holiday season I am starting to wonder more and more about what this time of year is about. I have been finding that more and more holidays are about stuff not family, friends, and a joyous spirit. I myself have found it hard to not fall into the "must buy more mode" as I was shopping for Dylan. Do you find that this time of year is more about buying things then the more traditional meanings that go with this time of year?

Does Spirt Week build School Spirit?


What are your thoughts about spirit week. I love to see everyone all dressed up for spirit week and having a good time at the pep rally, yet I have wondered if it does really build school spirit. Is spirit week and the feelings that go with it only a temporary thing?

People and their Animals



As you all know from my first day photos, I love my dogs. Sadly last week I made the heart wrenching decision to put my little wiener dog down because he was terminally ill. In the last week I have really started to think about the bound that people have with their animals. What do you feel the reason people get so attached to animals is? Are you attached to a certain pet? If so why? What do we as humans get from our relationships with our pets?
