I grew up in the northeast.  We spent our whole winter skiing and skating.  If you weren't out doing something ....you would go stark raving mad being cooped up in the house all winter long.  What happened?  I wimped out!  The other day I was complaining about the cold temperatures when my Mom reminded me it had been below zero up there.  Oh yeah...30 degrees isn't so bad.  However, you will still hear me complaning until spring gets here.  I am ready the minute Christmas is over.  Fast forward to tulips please! 

I have a new appreciation for everything!  After what seemed like a regular cold...the last 4 weeks went from bronchitis and laryngitis into walking pneumonia.  It has not been fun.  I can tell you I have never experienced anything like this before and the cough was side splitting.  Thanks to all the poeple I love so much for their understanding.  I know there is a lot of stuff going around this year.  Be careful, do all the things you know you are supposed to do...wash hands, get rest, eat well.  My doctor's office was wonderful and they

Yes, it's almost over but what fun we have had!  I love the Olympics for way more reasons than athletics.  It has brought our family together to cheer...even when we already knew the outcome because we'd seen it online.  It brought us together to share in the stories...stories of parents who sacrificed, kids who gave up everything, countries that we never even thought of for years  We looked to the athletes of all different shapes and sizes to show us the best of the best.  I will miss the dinner time conversations, the online replays...and most of all that we

The holidays may be over but thank you for all the amazing comments about our Christmas music this year.  We had calls, emails, posts on our Facebook page and so many wonderful people took time to tell us how much they appreciated it.  I guess what makes it so special is how it warms our lives and gives us a connection to the past.  Thank you too for your hearty welcome as we returned to regular programming.  We're still the same Mix you know and love!  :)

This whole Cicada thing has not bothered me a bit...until this week!  What the heck?  They are swarming in mass numbers.  I drive I-65 every day and it's like a debris field.  My windshield is trashed with dead bugs on the way home.  Yesterday, one found its way into my car and as I was speeding down the interstate at 70+ mph....I looked down at my arm and there were two red eyes staring back at me.  I'm trying not to freak out on the interstate.    Good feeling gone....

Love it when you can buy something and get something for free!  It's Clinique Bonus time at Dillards and the gift is awesome.  We'll have some to give away but if you can't wait, it's a $60.00 value with the purchase of $21.50 or more.  Worth it!

Valorie Kadowaki got the trivia right! (Yes, she spells her name with an "o" in Val instead of an "e" :)    She knew you had a 24% less likely chance of getting divorced if you waited until you were 25 or older to get married. Nice job Val.  Enjoy the 8 Adventure Science Center passes with your family!

The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas literally flew...then New Years came and went........and here we are in January!!  When I was taking the decorations off the Christmas tree, I looked at each ornament and thought...we are never promised anything.  Not another year..not another day. We have to slow down and capture that loving, giving spirit we feel at Christmas and pull it forward with us into 2011.   I'll try to remember that as this year flies by!  It's already off and running....!

These are adorable!   I can't wait to make them! 

We went trick- or- treating with some friends who live in Westhaven.  These people know how to do Halloween!!!!  Lots of cool decorations and tons of candy.  The kids have a blast and everyone ends up with bags full of treats.   I'm not sure how much candy the residents buy...but it's a lot.  We'll be eating snickers bars til next year so if you need a chocolate fix...you know who to call! :)
