Okay, that title is a total teaser because what I’m about to write about is definitely wonderful, but not nearly the best thing Jim and I have built together: that would be our life and family in general. It will come as no surprise to you, with all of the bragging writing I do about how we work as an excellent team, that Jim and I are one of those couples that can indeed do home projects together not only without killing each other, but even immensely enjoy the activity. Although he is definitely the foreman and I the assistant in the hardcore projects like replacing our sump pump, plumbing…

- Do I Really Want My Readers To Know This?, Fun in Chicago, My Sister Has Mad Skillz, Too Funny To Ignore
There Are Many Ways To Define Love; As It Turns Out, Way More Than I Knew About.
Just a quick post for you Saturday blog readers; I’m attempting to get my kitchen totally spotless today (Imagine that!), INCLUDING getting the kitchen desk cleared of the clutter. I’ll let you know if I’m successful; keep your fingers crossed for me. (I also realize that I haven’t commented back to you all on the last four or so posts: Busy week! I’m getting to it, hopefully this weekend if you want to keep checking back!) We’re also having Julesie join us for dinner and a Fab Five Game Night. Good times! Anyway, you may remember this post about my total sadness and anger about the Sears Tower being known…

Two Degrees of Someone Other Than Kevin Bacon
I just returned home from teaching a crazy Saturday Group Cycling class. I only had four people in class (Nothing unusual at this club), but two of them were my favorite couple. They attend every single week unless they are out of town, and I love them to death. They are around 60 years old and have been married for 40 years, but they are extremely fit and way younger than their actual age, at heart and in body. They could pass easily for a couple in their 40’s and I hope to stay young like them when I grow up. Anyway, normally he makes fun of me because every…

The Grocery Store Can Be Soooo Romantic
We were in need of a few grocery items, and Jim was going to run to the store. I said, “Hey, want some company?” We left the kids home (you folks with younguns don’t know the joys of doing this yet, but ohmygosh, you’ll love it when it’s your turn!) and took off, with my “$10 off a $50 purchase” coupon in hand. Our local grocery store is in the midst of a Grand Re-opening Weekend because they just remodeled. We parked the car and entered the store. Jim offered me something from the in-store Starbucks because he wanted a coffee and didn’t want to drink alone. LOL We picked…
