So I'm not really going to quit blogging, I'm just going to blog differently. I'll try to be as real as I can. Not that this blog is going to be a big whine session - I have lots to be grateful for and lots to be happy about - but I'm going to try not to sugar coat everything, which is a hard thing not to do. I mean, there are very few things in life that we can control, and blogs happen to be one of them. We have our cutesy headers and neatly organized columns, and we can put up only the photos that make us look skinny and don't show profile views of our noses. (Oh wait, that's just me...) Even our bad days are sugar-coated with clever antics about the pitfalls of life. We work so damn hard at life - whether we have kids or work or stay home or whatever - and our blogs are the one place that we can make it look like everything is going the way we are trying to make it. Or maybe that's just me. Seriously, I love looking at my blog because it reflects the cool parts of who I am. But now I'll share the not-so-cool stuff too, because if you want part of me, you're gonna have to take all of me. Haha.

Anyway, today I saw something that made me more excited than I have felt in months and months. Seriously.

You guys. We are going to start getting ready for Christmas! Now! Because if we wait til after Thanksgiving, it won't get done until Valentines Day. It's going to be so fun!!! Look through this online catalog and you will be excited too.
