It’s “Square Dancing Day”

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

“Swing your partner round and round. Kick ‘em in the head and knock ‘em down.”
Well, that’s what the boys in Mr. Hubbell’s elementary school gym class used to sing when we were tortured with square dance week. So much for learning any social graces back in old Kirkersville, Ohio. It was the 70’s though – [...]

Today is Open

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

There is no holiday scheduled for today. And admittedly, I’m at a loss. Last time this occurred I talked about butter. I’m just not feeling that clever today.
I can’t believe this week is Thanksgiving. This year has completely flown by, which is difficult to accept when I want to cling to every single day. Ben [...]

It’s “World Hello Day” and “False Confession Day”

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

World Hello Day was created in 1973 during the conflict between Egypt and Israel. The creators (Americans) felt that if we all got out and said hello to at least 10 people we would be promoting a peaceful environment thus opening the lines of communication and stopping all the unrest in the world.
It’s 36 years [...]

It’s a “Beautiful Day”

Friday, November 20th, 2009

It’s a beautiful day.
I’m happy to say that it is very aesthetically pleasing here in the Denver Metro area. The sun is shining and the snow capped mountains are absolutely stunning against the bright blue sky. I love looking out the window and seeing them in all their majestic glory – even if I am [...]

It’s Button Day

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Is this day about button collections? Or wearing clothes with buttons? Or wearing buttons as “pieces of flair”? Or belly buttons?
Actually, my step-sister doesn’t have a belly button. She was born with some things on the outside that should have been on the inside and in patching her up, the doctors had to “modify” her [...]

I Love Ben

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

The kids and I fell asleep while watching “Elf” last night. We’d had a very long day at the University of Colorado for the “Dance to Make a Difference” event – the annual marathon that benefits the Children’s Miracle Network.  This was Ben’s second year attending. Ben and Madeline played all day with their sorority [...]

It’s “Chicken Soup for the Soul” Day

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Ah. Chicken soup. Comforting. Healing. Makes everything all better. I’ve never been a fan of it.
Of course, I have never had true homemade chicken soup. In fact, I can’t recall ever eating chicken until I was nearly an adult. It just wasn’t something we ever had for dinner – unless it was fried chicken – [...]

It’s Election Day

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

My mind swirls at the thought of politics and the general mayhem that goes along with it. I believe that we, as Americans, should vote for who we feel are the best leaders and solutions for the issues at hand, but I cannot keep up with the false promises, double negatives, and legalese that goes [...]
