For many people, working from home is a dream. Others, though, don’t really enjoy working from home. I see this difference in style every day. I enjoy working from home, and am glad that I have a career that allows me to do that. My husband, on the other hand, doesn’t enjoy working from home nearly as much. He’d rather go in to work than stay at home and work.

Back in January of this year, I made a bold list of personal goals. Today, I'm happy to report that this past weekend, I achieved one of those goals. In January, I committed to running two half marathons this year. This past weekend, I ran my second one in Hershey, PA. Mission accomplished! Side note.we won't get into the status of the other goals, that is not important at this time.

Holy Moly, Christmas is 2 months from today. Deep breath in, deep breath out. These next two months can be a very stressful time of year for people. The pressure to not eat too much, not spend too much, buy the right gift, spend time with extended family, and hope that our jeans still fit on January 2 can send some people over the edge. Me included.

When he got most of the branches off the tree, we lassoed it with a rope so I could tug on the rope to guide the tree off the roof while he chainsawed the branch from the ma
