August 23rd, 2011 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, Abby, bridget, family, random, spencer

I keep thinking… I need to get back to blogging. And then I keep putting it off. And putting it off. I’m sure it doesn’t help that I starting writing down a list of things I want to/need to/haven’t yet blog[ged] about. The task of “catching up” so to speak is daunting. Besides, I have […]

November

January 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, food, siblings, spencer, tina
