If you’ve never had vertigo, believe me when I say that you are lucky. It’s not painful or anything like that, but it’s terribly disorienting and equally annoying. Just when I start to forget I even have it, I turn a corner or tilt my head and there it is again. It’s a difficult sensation to describe. I feel dizzy and disoriented. There is a slight jolt that goes through my body and feels tingly all the way down to my toes. Sometimes, it makes me feel like I am on a rollercoaster that is upsetting my tummy with its…

Can you believe Christmas is so close? Have you finished your gift buying? Sent all of your cards? I am not really very good at sending Christmas cards. I have the best of intentions, honestly, but I never really seem to get them in the mail. Oh well, email is easier, haha! I thought I was mostly done with my shopping too, but then my Mom stole my idea for my brother’s present and left me high and dry last night with a “hope you have some other ideas” email. Okay maybe that’s not completely fair. I was going to…

Last night was the finale of Survivor Gabon, and I am sad that it is over. My sister and I share a love of Survivor and Amazing Race, so this year we decided to each pick a team/player at the very beginning of the competitions and place friendly $5/each bets on our winners. If neither of our picks won the million, the money rolls over to the next season, etc. Well, believe it or not, I actually picked the winning Amazing Race team, Nick and Starr, right from the outset before the show began. $10 in my pocket. I wasn’t…

Yesterday I got digital copies of the pictures we took at JC Penney!! Since none of our parents read this blog, I feel that I am safe to brag about them here and post a few, haha! We are giving framed 5×7’s of the one at the top to our parents for Christmas as part of their gifts, and I really hope they like it! I actually love that top picture. Out of all of them, it is by far my favorite. It is the type of picture that our grandchildren might look at some day and think of how…

I have always thought that Jennifer Aniston was beautiful. I loved watching her on Friends because she just has that great style and great hair and she’s really a good actress on top of it all. Well, I was looking at People this morning online, like I do just about every morning, and they have this picture of Jenifer up there from her upcoming cover of GQ magazine. Can you believe this woman is 39 years old? In an era not that far off from now, people used to call any woman over the age of 25 an “old maid”….

G and I went to the mall last night and had our portraits done at the JC Penney portrait studio. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it actually turned out to be kind of fun and relaxed for the most part. We had a fun photographer who shot lots of different poses, and we even got to see the pictures about ten minutes after she was done. The main reason we went is so that we can have an “engagement” photo to frame for our parents for Christmas. The whole time I was just hoping, please let there be…
