A good friend introduced me to this sing a long blog and I have fallen in love with it! It does not hurt that Neil Patrick Harris is one of the stars (yes, I do know he is gay but that doesn't mean I still can't admire his acting, his singing, his body LOL)... There is a story behind why Josh Wheden put together this video and it has to do with the writers strike or the actors strike or the garbagemen's strike .. but that really doesn't matter in the long run - what matters is that this is a great video ... the actors are wonderful in it - they will have you laughing, crying, singing along and wanting more! When you have a few moments just take a look at it.. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. I find myself singing some of the songs during the day - they are quite catchy.. come on then, whatcha waiting for ..hit that "play" button or click on the link below it and hop on over to the actual Dr. Horrible blog and see it there.. I can promise you - you won't ...

Three weeks ago I received a very pleasant surprise. One of the families I worked with asked me if I would join Facebook so that I could keep in touch with her and see how her son was doing through the pictures she was planning on posting on her Facebook page. I did so reluctantly as I really didn't need one more thing to keep up with. I did so after a couple weeks of this mom sending me quick emails sharing with me that new photos had been posted and please won't I join so I can view them and stay in touch. I did so and then, much to my surprise, received a wonderful gift. Three weeks after I joined Facebook I received a message from an old friend I went to college with. He also has a facebook page and every so often does a search for friends he went to college with - and this time my name came up and he sent a "hi, how are?" message. I responded back and we got to chatting and catching up and one thing led to another thing and we started a group page for ...

In my previous blog I received a comment from Jill saying I sounded "peaceful". (thanks Jill!). It made me stop and think for a moment and I rezlied I was peaceful. I think it is because I have cut back a little on my hours and, this is the BIG reason, the hubby has hired someone in his office to do all the paperwork I have been doing for the past 10 years. (10 years?!! Has it really been that long?!! yikes) .. What this means is that I can come home, help the kiddos with their homework (or at least convince them they need to start working on it! before it's bedtime), start dinner, have a glass of wine (some days - not all) and do this without running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! At night when they are in bed I can now sit back and work on some of my own things... do some jigsaw puzzles (I've really been into doing the spherical puzzles - very challenging), knit, read, watch my fav tv show (sob.. which has again been canceled.. oh ...

Sorry it's been such a long time since my last entry. Life has been busy. Some ups and some downs but then isn't that the way it usually is? Believe it or not I am sitting in the "parent's lounge" of an indoor skate park in Rye, NH - !! - I had promised my oldest son for his birthday I would take him and a couple friends to Rye for a day of skateboarding. Let's see - the "couple of friends" turned into 4 friends and the "day" turned into an over night. lol Who says he has me tied around his finger? Not really - he has been a bit neglected lately with all the running around and worrying we've been doing with his little brother and he has been fairly to pretty good about it (not complaining, playing with his brother without asking, helping out as much as a 14yr old can without being nagged to do so ) - so he does deserve this get away. AND to be honest - so do I. It's been nice to sit here for the past 7 hours (yes.. that is not a typo - ...
