Wife, mother, laugh-er at very inopportune moments, and matchmaker. I am an excessive user of commas and exclamation marks. I once won March Madness despite knowing nothing about basketball, and I know how to find all the best Dunkin Donuts coupons. Clearly my talents are just endless.

snapshots from November now that we’re halfway through December

We recently went to a mother daughter tea party at a local church. There were sugar cubes, petit fours, the whole nine yards. AB is not a tea party gal, but (surprise surprise) I am. I had the best time.

Each mother was asked to bring a special tea cup for their daughter. There must have been a run on teacups because TJMaxx had not one fancy teacup left on their shelves. Annabelle is more of a mug and quirky cat kind of girl anyway so it worked out.

We traveled to Houston for Thanksgiving. We left our home at 4:30am and arrived at the hotel at 7:45pm. Annabelle had the best time playing with cousins. She was trying to set up phone calls before we left so they could keep chatting.

We visited NASA to see the Christmas lights display. I adore anything space/NASA related and Christmas lights. Put ’em together and what do you have? My dream scenario. We went a few years ago and have talked about it ever since.

Scene- leaving the inlaws house
Me: Why does it only say 19 minute to the airport when it’s always over 50?
Christopher: That’s the difference between weekday and weekend traffic in Houston.
twelve minutes later
Me: These roads look different. We haven’t seen all the skyscrapers we always see.
Christopher: The GPS is taking us a different way.
Me: Are you sure we’re going to the right airport?
Christopher: Yes.
Me: Ok.
Christopher: Check the itinerary.
Me: We are not going to the right airport.
Houston, we do indeed have problems.

I do not jump on bandwagons. I am an anti bandwagoner. This has been detrimental at some points if it's something I would enjoy if it wasn't popular, but feel I cannot participate in because of its popularity. I have not jumped on the following wagons to some level...

do you sea what I sea

I have finally recovered from the sickness that plagued my life for the last 10 or so days. I'm not sure if it was the Black Death or allergies, but the cocktail of over-the-counter drugs I took did nothing to stop the symptoms. Sickness cometh after boasting that you...
