I’ll be home for Christmas….

The Block Family – Christmas 2013

There are very few real surprises in life.  I mean really – if you think about it – when was the last time you were truly SURPRISED by anything? At least, anything good?!  Surprises, usually tend to be bad:

Surprise! A flat tire!

Surprise! Your jeans from last fall don’t fit anymore!

Surprise! Mommy I gavemyself a haircut!

See what I mean?

Air-pocalypse

AQI.  Three seemingly innocent letters, which, in combination, meant absolutely nothing to me six short months ago.  Now, however, these three letters – or rather, their associated meaning – are on my mind daily.

AQI = AIR QUALITY INDEX
