My Funny Valentine
My husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. We don’t need to. Once you’ve left the 6th Grade, what’s the point of it, really? Regardless of my feelings toward V-Day (sounds like a disease to me), I had to show off some of my lovin’ for this cute bugga boy. I’ll celebrate for this little…

At least we could get a couple cute pictures. It was probably more trouble than it was worth, but we…

Eye Surgery Postponed
After a handful of pre-op appointments and lots of phone calls and scheduling and faxes to and from different doctors and specialists to prepare for surgery on Monday morning, I just got a phone call telling me his eye surgery needs to be postponed. The anesthesiologist reviewed his chart and doesn’t feel comfortable working on…
