Today's the day . . .

I remember where I was exactly. I had just woken up to listen to a friends radio show. I was in college and was surprised to hear him say that they would be going to a live feed of MSNBC radio report. As I listened and discovered what had happened, I turned on the television and began to dress knowing it would be a long day. I had no intention of going to classes because I knew I would spend the day collecting student reactions for the local student news channel. I hurried to the school and got busy. I will never forget how scary it was to not be able to contact my grandma, who lived in VA, because the phone calls would not go through. I knew she was supposed to be at the naval hospital for an appt. and no one had heard from her. Luckily it turned out she was okay and everything was fine. But it was not this way for everyone.

Let's take a moment of silence to remember the tragedy of Sept. 11th. I think that is important to do before I go on.

For all of you who have been long time readers of my blog, you already know this -- but I LOVE Grey's Anatomy and today is the day that Season 3 is released on DVD and the new soundtrack is released. I am super excited about the soundtrack because it does not have all the songs I downloaded this season -- in fact, I think only one or two were duplicates of ones I already had. YAY! I downloaded it on Itunes last night because it was there. It was also only $9.99 -- online it appeared that Walmart and Target were carrying it for $13 or so.



I also looked into the cost of the DVD's and from what I could see online, Target has the lowest price by 30 cents or so. I will see when I go to the store later on today. YAY! You can expect me to be MIA for a couple days while I review the season and just remember -- the new season starts:

Private Practice - Sept. 26 @ 9/8c
Greys Anatomy - Sept. 27 @ 9/8c

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
