Truly Turrible

Dear Karen-

Soooo...how about those Titans?

(chirp, chirp...chirp...chirp...)

I realize that my knowledge of football is virtually nil, but maybe you can help me understand something. Why is it that when a team does poorly game after game, people start calling for the coach to either resign or be fired? Doesn't a large portion of responsibility lie with the men who are actually out on the field attempting to play the game? Why does no one ever call for their resignation?

Love,
Julie

Fall is Finally Here!

Dear Julie,

I am delighted to report that fall is finally here in Central Illinois!  It's a cold, rainy, dismal 52 degrees right now (with a high of 56 predicted).  It's as gloomy as can be AND I LOVE IT!!!  I am in fall clothes Hog Heaven.  But wait!  It gets even better:  We're heading to Holland, MI for the weekend, where the weather is nearly identical.  Ah, fall!

I heard you got a trampoline this week.  Don't you wish you could've had that about 3 weeks ago to jar Eleanor out of her little womb?  Speaking of Eleanor, the public needs more pictures of her.  I can't wait to meet her!

I hope you have a good day, rain or not.

Love,
Karen

Back to Blogging

Dear Julie,

First, let me congratulate you on successfully producing another human being.  I have decided that young Eleanor will be ElliePhant to me.  Partly because there's a book called Ellie the Elephant, but also because she had the gestation period of an elephant.  I can't wait to meet her in person!

You are absolutely right about us.  We dropped off the blogsphere for over an entire year.  What has become of us?  For real?

In the past 16 months...I've had 16 haircuts.  I tried sushi.  I let my hair grow out.  I moved to a new office. I met and married my best friend.  I learned how to make a fabulous pot pie.  And I've watched hundred of Law & Order episodes.

Let's move on & do better.

Love you!
Karen
