I Hope You Dance

Do you remember that song? It was made popular a few years ago by country singer, Leanne Womack. I believe it was her break-through song. When it first came out, it seemed that everyone around me was buying her cd or the single and everywhere I turned it was being played.
Back in those days, I [...]

I like my job.

I really do like my new job. I know that part of it might be because it’s new and I’m not tired of it yet. But, I do like the fact that I’m helping people make good decisions for their lives.
Also, the office I am working in is really energetic and interactive. My collegues, by [...]

One of my favorite desserts.

The only time I’ve had this dessert was at a company lunch in Washington DC. It must be good if I’m stilling thinking about it four months later! We ate at Old Ebbitt Grille in downtown for my last day in the office. After a yummy lunch of fish and chips (french fries), I ordered [...]

The Dog That Wouldn’t Stop Barking.

Once upon a time, there was a dog who lived a few doors down. He was a lovely dog. Caramel colored, with short hair and big ears.

So far, the best part of going back to work is coming home. After a long day of training, meeting with people and making calls, I enjoy coming home because, when I pull into our garage and walk through the door, I am immediately greeted by Graham.
Each evening, I am reminded of why I love [...]

Why have we come to this?

“No one cares about a wedding except for the bride, and no one cares about a kid, unless it’s theirs.”
I read this statement over the weekend. It’s from a comment left on another blog. The author of the blog writes about her life, including her husband, dog and baby. (Like me but not me.) This [...]

random question…

If you could have lunch today anywhere in the world. where would you go and what would you eat?
I would go to Italy and have home-made cannelloni and local red wine. I’ve never been to Italy, so I don’t know any specific places to eat. But, this is what I would order. OH, and I [...]

marriage is a funny thing…

While discussing a financial decision.
me: What do you honestly think about that?
him: I don’t want to tell you my honest thoughts.
me: Why not?
him: Because then we’d be all close and stuff.
