John & Kate + 8

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Can I love and hate a show all at the same time? Well, I do. I watch this show and how the husband and wife interact and over and over think to myself, “that’s me and my husband”. Their six year old Maddie has so many of the characteristics of my Lainy […]

Queen Bees

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I didn’t like high school, at all. Sure, I had a few friends. I had a few ‘first loves’. I enjoyed the dances and had some memorable times. But I remember high school with a pit in my stomach. I was not part of the ‘in crowd’. I was […]
