The Chili family’s plans for New Year’s Eve are to head to Bowyer and Tonks’ place to be together, play the Wii, and order Chinese food. Hopefully, the Falcon and MeadMaker families will be able to join us. I’ll bring champagne for the grownups and sparkling grape juice for the kids.
We’re hoping to [...]

Despite how averse I am to change, I decided that it was time for a new look around here. It’s not a drastic change, really, but it IS a change….
*I’ve changed it again - and may not be done yet. This change was inspired by the fact that I couldn’t add a search [...]

My friend JRH was inspired by me (who was inspired by Gerry, who was inspired by his older brother) to make a list of HER favorite music. She didn’t get to 100, though, telling me that “I could play with this forever, but I am going to stop now. 100 was way too [...]

If, when you call someone, you could have their phone ring a particular song, what would it be?
For some of you, this is a hypothetical question; what song do you feel represents you best? For those of you who know my cell phone number, though, this is an “I want an answer” question - [...]

… I may as well at least try to enjoy it.
The Chili and Bowyer families are going snow tubing today. Bowyer, Tonks and the boys are due here by 8 this morning, at which point five adults and four children will pile into our respective cars with all our boots, snow pants and gloves [...]

While I was getting dressed this morning, Mr. Chili, surfing his laptop from the bed, told me that Benazir Bhutto had been assassinated yesterday.
I gasped and have had the worst sinking feeling ever since.

Christmas at Chez Chili was a success. I give it a 7 out of 10 which, as Wayfarer observed this morning, “is passing in most public schools.”

Merry Christmas, Everyone! I hope you’re all having a lovely day, whether you’re celebrating or not!
As I promised last week, here are ten things I gave for Christmas this year:
