Chocolate Withdrawal

March 26, 2008

We spent this weekend with my in-laws and I think I gained back all the weight I lost over the last 8 months.  My jeans were tight when we left and I spent today going through chocolate withdrawal.  In case you don’t have a German mother-in-law, visits to a GMIL could qualify as world class [...]

Before I go back to bed…

July 19, 2007

…cause I’m just that tired, I thought I’d let everyone know that Oliver has not yet been born. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to lunch with O-Tay and Wee Laddie. I’m not sure how they will get here now, as I have no idea which roads are open and which are closed anymore. I would think [...]
