If you’ve ever scoured my Blogroll, you would have seen the link that directs you to a little blog called “Matt, Liz and Madeline”. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you absolutely must. But hey, word to the wise: make sure you’re alone and bring a box of Kleenex. You [...]

You know, most of the time CCB and I have really awesome communication skills. He speaks, I understand, and vice versa. And yet, sometimes it’s as if he speaks another language. I used to think that was just a male-female thing, but now I’m not so sure. Perhaps I should sign [...]
Weekend Update
Posted in Everyday, Grace in Small Things, Happiness is..., Love, Mama Likes To Brag on Feb 15th, 2009
As I mentioned in my previous post, CCB is here for the weekend. We have been pretty busy and my Google Reader has been mightily neglected, so in case you were wondering if I was still alive, HERE I AM!!! Things are going great!!! And since I only have about 30 more [...]
Somebody needs a damn cookie

Poor CCB. He’s having a rough time right now, god bless him. I may have mentioned that while CCB resides in City #1 (in the Great White North of Canada), and while I reside in City #2 (in the cesspool surrounded by beautiful mountains that we like to call Utah), he has been [...]
When I first met CCB, he told me he was Scottish. I heard those words coming from his mouth and my brain registered, “Ok, he’s Irish.” I mean, what’s the difference? Irish, Scottish, aren’t they all the same? Well, not to someone who’s Scottish apparently. Needless to say, CCB was [...]
CCB and I have had a long-distance relationship for a few years now, and we have discovered a few tricks for making it feel a little more normal. One of our favorite things is to watch TV “together”. We each record our favorite programs on DVR and then when we have time later, [...]

Five years ago today, CCB became a Dad.
And you know what? He became an awesome one. He has raised this cutie pie to love hockey (she has a cute pink Leafs jersey and moans about the loss of Mats Sundin like all Torontonians), to love music (her favorite song is “Firecracker” by Ryan Adams) and [...]
Pros and Cons
Posted in Divorce, Everyday, Love, Mama Likes To Brag, NaBloPoMo on Jan 4th, 2009
When I fell in love with CCB, the first thing that occurred to both of us was “How on earth are we going to make this work?” I mean, we were in different cities… hell, different countries! Who moves where? Who is designated to sacrifice more than the other? I am [...]
Right where we're supposed to be.

Yesterday, a huge snowstorm blew into town, just minutes before I was supposed to leave work to prepare for Tyler and Beth’s arrival. I had such grand plans… to head home and finish up a little bit of laundry, then to pick up Lauren at school and make our way to the airport. [...]
Ryan Adams, The Campbell Gamble and Too Much Food: Vegas in Review
Posted in Everyday, Happiness is..., Love on Dec 10th, 2008
Hey, Internets! I’m baaaaack! And I survived Vegas with minimal after-effects. CCB and I actually had a seriously great time!
We arrived too late on Friday to do anything but go straight to the room and crash. We took the lock-off of my sister’s 3-bedroom Marriott time share, so we had a little 1-bedroom suite with [...]
