Train Ride - or - Why I Don’t Go Out In Public

Posted by Michelle on 31 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

The last post of 2006! 
Since I had the baby boy with me and I knew he was getting kinda bored, I figured it would be a good day to go ride the train from Grapevine to the Fort Worth Stockyards. The train departed at 1 pm and, of course, I got the idea after I [...]

Deal of the Year

Posted by Michelle on 30 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

So… yesterday I had some errands to run. Went to the post office and mailed all my bills (grr) and then went to DSW Shoe Warehouse (FAVORITE STORE EVER) because they were having a hellacious sale.
I got a pair of $100 Guess shoes for $13! They were already marked down and then I got 50% [...]

2006: A look back

Posted by Michelle on 29 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Dusty Tome

This has been quite possibly the best and worst year. I’d say “of my life” but there are many more years to come yet.
In January, life as I knew it dissolved in one day. Shattered into a thousand shards never to be pieced back together again. And that was okay because the life I was [...]

Hey I forgot to mention I’m blogging over at the Chicas blog today! Get on over there and read my Christmas story. Oh, and you might want to have a tissue handy. Yeah, it’s one of THOSE stories.

Don’t feel much like blogging today but I’ll be back tomorrow with my year-end ruminations.

The Day After & Beyond

I started this post on the 26th, but I never got to go back and finish it…so… I will now. Enjoy :) 
Another Christmas is over. For me, it just seems anticlimactic. We have all this build-up for a month and then - poof - in one morning it’s all over with.
Christmas Eve, the baby boy [...]

Mik’s Christmas Eve Extravaganza

I know everyone is SUPER busy with last minute Christmas errands, shopping, gatherings, etc. so thanks for stopping by the blog.
The train ride didn’t happen yesterday. Seems the train we were going to ride wasn’t running. So I went to Plan B. Which consisted of driving to downtown to see the gigantic Christmas tree (which Sweetie [...]

Today we are going to ride the train to the Fort Worth Stockyards and then we’re going to do that big ole maze (that was featured in a final episode of Amazing Race a couple of seasons ago). I think it’s going to be a smashing good time.
I cooked a nice roast yesterday with sauteed onions, bell pepper and [...]

This n That

So for the last few nights, I’ve had trouble sleeping. And not only that, but I’ve had horrifying dreams. Scary dreams. It’s freaking me out.
Yesterday the baby woke me up at 6 am and of course he crashed hard at about 4. I couldn’t get him to wake up until 6:30. Which meant he [...]
