I realized I haven't posted around here in a while and while I'm not too worried about it, I thought I might stick my head in and say hi.

HI!

Sometimes, things are just better said with music. The video posted below has nothing to do with anything other than that I love the artist, the song, the video, and the message. Sara Evans has come back with an amazing song and probably a fantastic album (I haven't heard it all yet). Some of you may tell me that the song has been out for a while, and it has. However, I hadn't heard it until it popped up on my Pandora station yesterday.




I love it. That is all.

Stay tuned for my take... and a rash of my favorite previews etc. from the upcoming HBO series Game of Thrones. If you cannot wait for my fangirl squeeeeeing, you can always pop over to WIC (linked on the right) to see what's going on for yourself.

Mike and I in Napa - 2007

When nothing seems to be going right in life and it feels like the entire universe is out to get me I try to remember the good things that I am surrounded with . My friends and family etc. Mike is in yet another interview process with yet another company. Hopefully this one will go better than the last.

Mia and I Napa - 2007

Hopefully, 2011 is going to turn around in a big hurry. I know we're ready for it. Mike's unemployment benefit has not yet been extended due to some massive mix-up with the temp agency he was working with just before Christmas. He was told his contract ended on a specific date and that he wouldn't be working beyond that date unless otherwise notified. He wasn't notified. It means we're not getting paid. Ouch. Nuff said.

Heather and I - December 2009

In other news, Heather's birthday is today. Isn't she gorgeous? I love her and I hope her day is fabulous. I will note at this juncture that she has to work today, which is a bum deal. But I'm hoping that she grabs a drink or a bite to eat or something.

Heather and Jarrod - December 2009

Hopefully her man will do something verrrrry nice for her today too, knowing that she's working. Aren't they cute together? I heart them both very much.

Happy birthday baby sister!
