I would ... http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/cowabunga/ He's Back? John Edwards is suddenly in contention again for the VP spot OMG...this is just what I need to get truly excited about the election again. http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/could-it-be/ Just a quick post to let you know I have not (totally) lost my mind. I'm still here, Train is gone, I miss him so much it's kind of embarassing but I'm blaming it on hormones. The thought of Sherman's bedtime still makes me want to run away from home ... http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/alive/ I want to post but I don't want to talk about anything. I don't want to talk about how relieved I am that my parents may move their plane reservation to Saturday so that they will be here before Train leaves for his first week of classes in Virginia Beach. I ... http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/so-whats-left/ Well last week was pure craziness. On Monday and Tuesday I was at an off-site training seminar.

Even though ... http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/its-the-little-things/ My WASP-y friend Lindsey is getting married this weekend. I was lucky to attend her bridal shower a few weeks ago and meet her mom and also Edgar's. I hope their special day goes perfectly.

As ... http://voluble.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/week-end-wrap-up/ When I was a kid, my dad wouldn't let my mom read fairy tales to me. He thought there were too many scary parts, and didn't want me to have nightmares.
