Keith - my handsome, devoted, hardworking, and very forgiving husband. (He chooses to over look MANY of my flaws!) We have known each other since 1997 and have been married for over 14 years. He is an awesome daddy and loves to spend lots of time with Punky, Kirby and me.
Melissa - A Chicago-born, husband-loving, creativity using, grammar correcting, special education teaching, fun-loving, blogging, coffee drinking, word playing, church attending, avid reading, wine consuming, scrapbooking, mommy living in The Frozen Tundra.

Punky- Our 12 1/2 year old son who never ceases to amaze us each and every day! He loves to play sports, read books, and play outside. He is one smart cookie who loves to explore, wonder, and question life as he encounters it. He's an awesome BIG BROTHER.
Kirby Our newest addition to our family was born August 2012. He has been a blessing to all of us! He is now 5 and 1/2 years old! He has a sparkling little personality that makes us all take a deep breath and smile!
another friend and blogger said the same…but using the word “smart”…finally !!!
I won’t miss the blinking either.
As a teacher, haven’t you wanted to just slap that smirk right off his face? I’d get that smirk from students and it would just make my blood boil. So glad he’s gone.
For me GWB is proof of the old saying that “Democracy is only the least worst option”. I can forgive the general public for electing him, as I’m not sure they actually did, but re-electing him … really?!?
Last night they uttered the sweetest phrase I have heard on TV for weeks “FORMER President George W. Bush”
Beth- LOL! The thought crossed my mind to write that also!
Melissa – THAT IS ANNOYING AS WELL!
Jen- YES!!!! I HATE THE SMIRK!
Mr. Geek – Amen! That is a good phrase!
