  • Any Local Twilight Fans Here?

    I typically – as a rule – only watch one genre of movies: funny movies. (This hasn’t always been the case, but several years ago movies seemed to have just gotten a lot more graphic and I just can’t deal with that.) I’ve rarely hopped on the bandwagon for “must…

  • Let’s Go Pack!

    If you’re not in Wolfpack Country, the statement “Let’s Go Pack!” might mean that you’re about to go somewhere. For those of us who are in Wolfpack Country… it means we hope to go somewhere with our TEAM! 😉 Tomorrow is the NCSU vs. UNC basketball game and I am…

  • Yee Haw, Y’all!

  • Be Good to Yourself

  • Calling All Mommies, Awesome Aunts, and Grand Parents…

    As I was thinking about buying gifts for tomorrow’s Jingle Ball (www.jingleball.org), I realized that I obviously don’t do all that much toy buying! I am wondering if any of you awesome readers have any tips on how to maximize $25.00 in the world of toys? Since this is such…

  • It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…

    …but I still don’t turn on the holiday music until closer to Christmas, though 😉 There is a lot of small town and big city stuff to do this weekend – all starting today. I wish they didn’t all fall on the same day/time though, because I want to do…
