  • On the 365th Day of Christmas…

    Looking back over the craze of the holiday season, I worry that I did not get gifts for everyone on my list.  So many folks were out of town and I wonder if I put off getting their gifts so much that I have just simply completely forgotten.  My best friend is the greatest at gift giving.  She makes her list, checks it twice, and regardless of your naughty/nice status, she has a full-out plan for what your gifts will include.

  • Invincibility

    Invincibility is a trait I often times wish I had.  I suppose if you asked me what super power I would want, that would be it..  To be able to let the things that would hurt anyone else bounce right off of my chest, just like Superman! (…)
