Every channel I watched had a segment, the only purpose of which was to introduce us to their special SNOW STORM TEAM. You know...the exact same people who report every other morning.

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. (And bonus points, because he didn't take it downstairs for a mid-raid snack!)

Flowery, sappy, romantic ecard. (We know this was a stretch, because gamerz aren't known for being romantic...usually, if I get a card, it's something about "pull my finger!". This year he did a lovely job ( Read more... )

Then he came into our room, stood staring at me for a minute, and then handed me......a letter from eschroder!!! I was so excited! This was the best thing he could have given me, and I sat on my ( Read more... )

She's THREE YEARS OLD today. It seems only yesterday there was every shade of drama about keeping her in my life. Now I willingly give her up for extended weekends once in a while...and love her with all of my heart. I can't imagine my life without her. But she's not a baby anymore. *sniffles ( Read more... )
