We still love Zidane and his magic feet


Angel Girl has been so excited about the World Cup and that France made it to the end. After the match last night I turned to look at her and she had tears in her eyes. She said, “I can’t believe we lost.” I almost cried myself to see her so hurt [...]

I can’t look back…so, I will look forward


I really don’t have alot to talk about. We have been moving all the little things…still. I am not sure when we will be renting a truck to move the larger furniture and appliances. On Friday, we had cleaned the entire day. It was luck because our landlord brought a [...]

Sex differences in cultures


The other day, I wrote a post showing a more “private” side of my personality. A side that my husband sees and really no one else. We love to tease, flirt and play with words all the time. It’s great fun. Plus, it keeps the sparks alive.

Eurovision 2006
