What's worse?

-
What's worse than having to drive EVERYWHERE, instead of walking like I used to in the city? What's worse than living in Wall-e world? Not being able to drive at all! It was bad enough having to drive everywhere I need to go but it's way worse not being able to drive at all, thanks to my bruised back. Now I feel completely isolated and stranded in the suburbs. I literally have no escape route. My new motto is, enjoy today you have no idea just how much worse tomorrow may be!!!

Home gym newbies

Anyway after lengthy discussions with hubby we decide that the unfinished basement whi...

A lot of the kids went and voted with their parents and it was so great to watch them talk about it at the playground afterwards. Fast forward a couple of months and I'm now in CT. I have to be honest and say that this morning I was sitting here wishing that I could be in NYC for Obama's inauguration. I was craving that feeling of being part of the crowd, of the buzz. So where was I at 11:30 today? I was at my friend's Deana's house. I met her at a newcomer's cocktail party. She had invited about a dozen of us to come and watch the ceremony at her house. So today I watched the president being sworn in surrounded by a group of new friends. We cheered, we clapped and toasted Obama with a glass of champagne. That's right a glass of bubbly at noon on a Tuesday. The room was fille...
