To Black Friday or Not to Black Friday

Posted Wednesday, November 26, 2008 2:56 PM

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...the facts of life. That's how the song from the show goes, right? I feel like I'm playing that song in my head over and over again lately. I've witnessed so much good mixed with

Posted Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:43 PM

The Conclusion

Posted Wednesday, November 19, 2008 2:11 PM

I kicked everyone out of the room. And not just into the adjoining room with the doors closed, I kicked them out into the waiting room by the elevators. I didn’t even say goodbye to anyone or allow anyone time to wish me luck. I was completely consumed

Posted Friday, November 14, 2008 10:22 AM

Okay, here's my birth story, 3.5 months later. It's in your favor that I waited so long to write this. Time has allowed me to forget many details and keep this short(er) and sweet. Had I written it a week after Boston's birth, it would have been like

Changes all around

Posted Wednesday, November 12, 2008 9:25 AM

At work, everything has changed. My boss took a position in Tennessee so I'm currently on my own until they find his replacement. Meaning I have no actual person to report to, which also means I'm not held accountable and can basically come and go and

Posted Tuesday, November 04, 2008 4:54 PM
