Life, Love, & Laundry

Today's blog may not happen. Maybe it will end up being a list of things I love or a list of things I hate.  Maybe it will just be a jumbled mess of all the lists running around in my head. I doubt anyone could make sense of it, I surely cannot.  Christmas season is here. There are lists of things to do, places to go, people to see....and each of those are both personally and business related for us.  Christmas used to be my favourite time of the year. I loved everything about it. I still try to enjoy...

This past week on my Facebook feed some guys were showing pictures of their "trip of a lifetime". They went away together to see their favourite sports team perform.
