I know I keep saying this...

... but I really am going to make it a point to do better with my blog. I have a ton of posts in my head, I just need to get better about getting them on my blog.

I've never thought myself a very good writer. Trouble is, when I sit down and start a post, I find myself spending way too much time using the backspace and / or delete keys instead of just letting it flow, if you know what I mean. I don't practice what I preach. I'm a huge fan of journaling and free-writing and whenever I suggest it, I always encourage the writer to write as if nobody else in the world will every read it. That's what I need to do on here - yeah right!

Actually, truth is not really far from that. All two of you would love me no matter what I said (write / type), so I really could write as if nobody else would see it...

Hmmm... food for thought.

This is my husband, Steve's account of the SaddleSore 1000 ride he completed yesterday. Well worth the read!

Update

I keep saying I'm going to get better at keeping this blog up. Life just gets in the way sometimes... Anyway - here's how they've grown...

Jeez?!?! Update much?

So, it hasn't quite been a full year. Almost.

I know I keep sayin' this, but I've really gotta get better about blogging. Not that anyone really gives two hoots about what's going on in Jodie-World, but it's just nice to have a place to put it all.

And, yeah, I guess there's a lot to 'put'. Just finding the time lately seems to be an impossible task.

Since I last posted (December 2008!), a lot has happened. Stuff that I used to put here, but for whatever reason, didn't this time. New Years came and went. Spring. Summer, including our 4 week European vacay (*lots* to post about that :) )! Back to school. Baby's in 1st grade!!

So, I'll try to do better... if nothing else, to have a place to look back on it all :)

Merry Christmas

I hope your Christmas was as special and memorable as mine. Best wishes in the New Year!!

Yes We Did!

I honestly can not remember a time in my life when I have been so proud to be an American. Congratulations, President Obama!!!

Early bird...

... gets the worm???? Hope so!

I voted today!

It felt so good, too. Couldn't believe the line when we pulled up outside of the County Election Board. Luckily, it moved quickly and we were in and out in about 15 - 20 minutes.

Did I mention that it felt amazing!!! There's just something about having a voice, however small, in such a historic event.

Now... off to wait 'till Tuesday...

GO VOTE!!!
