Time To Trade In My Overalls!

Fable III comes out in less than a month! I get goosebumps every time I think about it. I think it's safe to say that you won't be seeing me online much the entire month of November. FrontierVille and FarmVille will be put on the shelf for a month or so. I'll be trading in my overalls for some armor, or at least some fancier looking threads. This was going to be one of those things I put on my own wishlist, but who am I kidding? I'm not waiting for Christmas to come around. I can't. I won't. [Read more...]

A Random Act of Kindness

"What are some things you have done?" is what Damond Nollan asked recently when he spoke about performing a random act of kindness. Believe it or not (for those of you who think you know me so well :-p), I do little things all the time, but I don't really think about it much so it was hard for me to come up with an answer. Then I remembered something that happened about a month ago… [Read more...]

The Human Experience – The Money Tree

Daddy said it more times than I can count, "Money doesn't grow on trees" or something like "Sure, let me just go pick the money tree out back."

Find out what happened when 100 dollar bills were clipped to and left in a tree in Chicago.

A Better Me – Wk. 13

There's really not much to report this week. In fact, it's all pretty boring really. I try to change it up a little bit here and there, and I try to be consistent. I have my good days. I have my bad days. But really, I just keep moving. So I think it's time I cut back on posting about my progress. Not because I'm getting nowhere and not because I'm throwing in the towel or anything like that. The truth is, I've run out of things to blog about when it comes to my progress and I'm bored to death about blogging on my progress.

A Better Me – Wk. 12 – My Daughter Is A Bad Influence

Talk about a slacker – that would be me. I'm really late in getting this post out, but I have good reason for it. My daughter was in town over the holiday and left only yesterday. So what does that mean as far as my progress? Well! Let me tell you, Lauren was a horrible influence on my the entire time she was here. I pigged out on food I really had no business touching… like fettuccine chicken with alfredo sauce – one of my weaknesses. [ still drooling ] [Read more...]
