I'm sure that you reeeely want to know all of this, but seeing as I've got an hour to wait for the onslaught of 10 year olds, I figured I'd go ahead and post. Ahem.Liz did this and I'm stealing borrowing tagging myself. I'm still in post-NaBloPoMo haze. Maybe by Monday I'll have my mojo back.1. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Carmen's daughter, Emma.2. Where was your first kiss? On

Yea me!!!! I picked 13/16 last week to be the winner for Week 11 here on the BFL. Finally! Last year it took me until the last week of the regular season to win so I'm feeling lots better about myself. You know, my self worth is totally hinged on whether I can pick the most W-L for the week, right?Anyway, here are my picks for this week:Thurs:NY Jets @ BuffaloSunday:Philadelphia @ AtlantaSt Louis

It's been a long month, but I survived.And apparently so did you, since you're still here reading!Earlier this evening I skimmed my posts for this month and all in all I'm pretty impressed with myself. I actually wrote more than I didn't, if that makes sense. I'm a better blogger for having done this exercise this year. You hope anyway. Heh.I also noticed a few loose ends that I should tie up....

I don't think I would have chosen to go to KISS for my kids first concert, but I'm certainly not complaining either. They haven't been around for 35 years because they put on a bad show, right?And, what do 8 and 10 year old boys love more than fireworks and smoke and laser lights? (It was kinda funny when both Headless Dad and Headless Boy #1 jumped every time there was an explosion, though! It's

Ten years ago today you came into our lives. Nine and a half pounds of all knees and elbows.Today you're still all knees and elbows and only tip the scales at 60 lbs., dripping wet.You're quick to anger, just like your mom, and love to yell. I'm sorry that you learned that from me, but we'll continue to work on it, ok?You are really smart. You just made the high honor roll for the first time and

I'm returning to my Click for Clutter posts, (a spin on Cluttercast by Darryle.) I've got so much stuff that I KNOW you want as a gift for someone, or as a treat for yourself!One of the things I loved as a girl was dolls. Not just any dolls-they had to be collectible, unique. I always wanted a daughter to share that love with me, so in 1997 when we got married I tried to introduce Headless Girl

In an amazingy excellent twist of fate we will be treating the boys to their first concert EVER tonight.Last night as I was writing my list of concerts that I'd been to, Headless Dad and I were talking about taking the boys to a concert since they'd never been. We kicked around a few ideas and just abandoned the topic.As luck would have it, when HD got to work today a friend of his at another

I had high hopes of getting a lot of writing done tonight. I went to a great event that you will really will dig hearing about, we got a phone call that you'll love hearing about.Then I opened my computer to news of Anissa being in the hospital, and what ever I wanted to write just left.I'm praying, friend.

My heart is weeping tonight for my sweet #2. It has been a rough weekend.On Saturday, his football team had their first playoff game. Long story, but this is what it boiled down to. His coach wanted to win so badly that HB and 7 other kids didn't get in the game AT ALL.Let that sink in for a moment. Or no, I'll help you comprehend. One overly egotistical 37 year old man made 8, 7 and 8 year old

Dude was hot. Tall, dark hair, built, great sense of humor. Former kicker for a SEC football team. We had an
