Tough Choices
So I decided tonight to spend one more day with my parents before driving off to spend the rest of Christmas Break with my boyfriend & his family.  Lots of tears went into this decision, however I feel it is the right one?  I know it is.  Good choices FTW

Do I really want to be a runner? The house is so...
I suppose if you decide you want to be a runner, and you are home in Ohio for Christmas, running in the cold is a necessity.  Still doesn’t help the motivation to go outside.  To run.  In the cold.

One of my kids gets it....
“I have learned that when Americans see a problem, they will fix the ones that are convenient to them.” A student’s response to the Progressive Era.  It still holds true today.  I love the days when the kids get it.  This one just gets it.

Bull Moose PARTAYYYYY
“Roosevelt was the president of the Square Deal, and he threw parties like the Bull Moose Party.” While I agree that Roosevelt probably threw great parties, I think this one missed what exactly a political “party” is.

Aus dem Haus: Two Words: →
merikson: Seeing as I filled you all in about how a holiday went in a land where that holiday doesn’t exist, i.e. – Thanksgiving, I figured that it is about time I filled you all in on a little celebration that Germans like to call “Weihnachnten” or as we know it in English, “Christmas”.
