Life has been busy. That's a good thing for me.
I bought a new purse today. So cute, so NOT me, in my least favorite color, yellow. I LOVE IT. How weird is that? Maybe I'm embracing the inner yellow in myself!
Speaking of colors, blue is my favorite and yet I don't like blue cars. Why? I am weird, huh?
One of my biggest wishes as a child was to have the 64 ct. Crayola crayons with the built in sharpener. I finally got those, around 3rd grade. I carefully took each crayon...

MUSCLE!
So last night I finally gave into a friend's request and joined her at the karate studio for a kickboxing lesson. And as expected, today I've discovered muscles in places that I didn't know muscles existed.

It's time to watch as the last pack of chocolate chips fly off the store shelf right as you were reaching to...

In a couple of days, many of us will gather with family and friends to enjoy conversation, maybe football or board games, a meal and the opportunity to reflect on what we're thankful for. At times everyone seems to be so busy that we simply forget to be thankful for anything. We take our friends and family members for granted, we forget that others may have nothing to eat, we take for granted the warm, comfortable home we have and many others comforts that our lives afford us. So at this time...
