I think I will make some resolutions this year. I didn’t last year, and that worked out okay for me, but not so well as I would have liked. Last year, I posted a “ten things I want in 2006” entry and I reached half of them but really only nailed three. [...]

Because it brings out the MORON in every driver!
Holy crap!
We got our first appreciable snowfall today. It totaled to about two inches or so - really, nothing major. The family, having a little bit of cabin fever, decided to take a trek to the mall (usually a 10 minute or so ride) to have a [...]

We took the girls to see Eragon yesterday.
It was the first showing of the afternoon, the theatre was FREEZING and the screen was a little too small for our liking, but the movie itself was, at least to MY humble estimation, a lot of fun.

The countdown to Christmas dinner at Chez Chili has begun!
I’ll start today by going to my step and yoga classes and seeing who’s going to venture out on Christmas Eve morning to sweat with me. I’m betting that some of my regulars will show - they know I bring goodies on the last class [...]
