A Year Ago Today

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:29:08 PDT

It was one year ago. Today. I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. A whole year. The fact that I can only see her in pictures, or revisit the memories we made. I haven't even been back to her...

Monday, Monday

Back in July, Mike and I decided to have Chewy, the psycho barking mutt, fixed because he was marking his territory in my house and also trying to get his jollies on with my couch. Totally not cool,...

Halloween Hangover

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:14:44 PST

As usual, I am a little late to detail the events of our Halloween festivities. I know, slacker am I. But really, October totally crept up on me, like so fast that it was September and then BAM!! It...

Last night the kids and I stepped out for a bite to eat at Cheddars. They totally love that place and well, since the prices are reasonable, I love it too. While eating dinner, Mini Me started...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:33:39 PST

Yesterday, the kids and I were driving in the car, listening to some tunes when a song popped up on the radio. Not really in the mood for the classic rock tune I was hearing, I was just about to hit...

This Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:06:21 PST

Received this picture in an email and it just sums up the frustration I am feeling with our elected officials and their healthcare reform. Well, if I really want to go there, it is how I feel about...

My Most Embarrassing Moment Ever

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:20:56 PST

The past couple of months I have been having a hard time finding topics to write about. I've been feeling frustrated, idealess and unmotivated-none of which are conducive to good writing or frequent...

All I Want For Christmas...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:00:04 PST

All I want for Christmas is an MacBook Pro, an air hockey table, a Flip UltraHD Camcorder and a trip to Disney. Is that really all too much to ask for? Really, really? I generally never ask for...

Passion Quest

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs.Chattypants) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:30:27 PST

I must say, that finding one's passion is not an easy task. We are conditioned at an early age to suck it up and just do as we are told, so for someone such as myself, finding something that I...

Creative Mommy

With Jack Frost taking up residence in South Florida, we have been holed up in the house to stay warm. This means lots of family togetherness. Really, it's overrated. Something about warmer weather...
