I have been painfully unable to blog lately, not because I don't have things to blog about, but because I have too much to post--so much that I don't have time to spend online. But I finally catching up, so I'm promising a new update tonight. Check back tonight or in the morning and the blog will be back and better than ever....

A quick preview of a few possible topics:

1) Christmas festivities in NC
2) The incredible shrinking dog
3) New Year in DC
4) Why replcaing the clutch in my car is like the Mideast peace process
5) Gateway Middle Schoolers
6) Ten ways to know your husband is a nerd
7) My new reading choices
8) Our new 5 year plan

Also, I'm adding a new link in the sidebar to Marshall Benbow's new blog. Check it out.
