So, I was aimlessly driving around in the downtown area of my particular Chicago suburb last night with a trunkload of books, and I was shouting out the car window, “Books for sale! Books for sale!” And then suddenly, I heard some shrieking. I thought I heard my name being called but wasn’t too sure, because it sounded like “Melissa” with two s’s and not just one, but I listened closer… She called louder: “Hey! Melisa! With one s! I want a book!” Well, of course that got my attention and I turned toward the screaming and, after looking around and around I finally found the source, hanging out the…

Hmm. I Was Hoping For Something More Exciting.

Less Than Three Weeks Away…and We’re Still Okay!
*I did not take this photo in the future and bring it back on a time machine in order to post it; this was the photo session we had for the invitations! We’ve been quite busy lately: what else is new, right? But I’m not just talking about day-to-day life; in fact, we have a major event coming up on February 9 for which we have been working on several projects: The twelve-year-old’s Bar Mitzvah. (If you aren’t sure what a Bar Mitzvah is but never wanted to ask anyone, click here to learn more!) When the older boy became a Bar Mitzvah in July 2005, it was the culmination…
