So I might have been a tad depressed in the two weeks or so leading up to Christmas. I really, truly appreciate everyone's support during that time. I suppose it was weird to y'all that I took the death of The Wild Boy's fellow Spartan so hard. I think putting into words for you why, [...]

‘Twas Five Days Before Christmas and all Through the House…
I have a lot to talk about. I will try not to ramble.Too much.I want to say right up front that I have not been depressed this Christmas. I truly have not. But, I just haven't been Christmas-y Susan. Sure, I've been playing music since October and I will continue to play it for a [...]
THE Best *insert anything here* EVER!
Just scrolling through my yahoo emails and noticed a trend. Several subject lines began with..."The BEST (salad, sock people, workouts, weight loss pill, pie recipe, organization tools) EVER!" Several more assured me "The ONLY (recipe, workout, personal plan, husband) you will EVER need! *I made up "husband" but you get the idea*The funny thing is, [...]
Comfortable in my own skin.

If there is cat barf on the Christmas Tree skirt, it must be Wednesday.
I've always had a love/hate relationship with Wednesday. Sure it has a classy nickname, "Hump Day," with an entire commercial dedicated to it. It does signify the middle of the week. If you are a glass-half-full person, that means only two days left in the work week. Or, if you are a glass-half-empty kinda girl [...]
Snow Day #2.

Snowy-sleety Day Means Soup Day.
This was our day. Chilly, rainy, sleety, snowy, and icy. Sounds like five of the Dwarfs from Snow White. It was pretty yucky out and the roads were slippery. Which didn't bother me as I sent all the minions out to do my bidding and remained indoors, nice and toasty. A perfect day to make [...]
It’s not about the tree.
I loved blogging every day in November. I loved the break, for a few days, from blogging. I also missed blogging the last few days. I'm complex like that. It is finally Christmas in the Smith household. How do I know? Because I can't stop stressing about all I have to get done. Shopping...I don't [...]
