Looking to connect: Be on your guard! Kelly is looking for meaningful conversations. (My husband will be the first to run out the door!)

It seems like I'm on a mission to make real connections with all that I meet.  I have come to the realization that it's worth the effort to take the time to get to know people.  You should have seen me at my high school reunion trying to reconnect with a few women who were more interested in shrieking in delight when they recognized someone.  It didn't take me long to see that I don't have a high tolerance at all for shrieking.

I have so much to share with all of you. I wish you could come along with me as I run to Jillian's school this morning. I will be covered in frosting most likely as I help build the frames for little gingerbread houses.  Definitely it will not be a Martha Stewart kind of job with me in charge!

Maybe 2 AM is my best time to blog.  Nice and quiet without any distractions.  Now for staying awake...that's the challenge.  But I'm up for it because I miss connecting with all of you.

Time to dust off the toast crumbs from my pajamas.  I have two sleepy kids who need a big push to get motivated for the dash to the school bus.

Wish me luck that 20 mini gingerbread houses don't collapse!
