My hiatus was a period of reflection and direction for the blog...but it was also a period of searching, nay-- scrambling, for a new place to live. You see, Brett and I have been in our current unit for about two years now and while it has worked out for us (sort of...) so far, we're ready for a change. Surprisingly, we're downsizing and we're not even empty-nesters or retirees! The downsize is okay with us because we don't need a ton of space, the unit is adorable and in a great location, and we're very excited to move in (which will happen at the end of July). → read more…

Hello everyone! Welcome, welcome! Oh how I've missed the blogging world...This is going to be somewhat short and sweet, but I just wanted to say that I'm back from my hiatus with a clear focus in mind-- to keep on trucking. Coincidentally, my hiatus sort of had a reverse effect; I didn't come up with a new direction that I've never done before, rather I realized that I like what I do and other people seem to like it, too. I managed to delete some old posts, re-categorize some things and figure out what I like to write about. And! It only took me a few weeks to figure it all out! → read more…

Ladies and gentleman, I say with restrained excitement that I will be taking a brief hiatus from writing for Morgan-Howard.com for what I like to call, "a period of reflection". As many of you have noticed, the website has taken a giant leap from the old style into a more exciting, unique setup and the next step is to take the content in the same direction. Don't get me wrong; I love writing about anything and everything that comes into this head of mine, but I do feel like I need to direct my thinking process into something a little more concise. This, my friends, is what I am currently contemplating and is the sole purpose of my hiatus. → read more…

I'm starting to realize that I could possibly be one of the few people in the world that actually enjoys watching The Nanny starring the vocally-unique star, Fran Drescher. But let me go back a bit by telling you when I first saw this show, I wasn't a fan of it and I simply couldn't get over her voice. I discovered this show about three years ago when the reruns were aired on Lifetime. The show originally aired from 1993-1999 in the form of six seasons and given my abilities on The Nanny trivia...I can safely say that I have probably seen around 80% of the episodes. I guess the most comforting thing that I can say is that if you can't stand her voice-- her laugh-- well, her in general, the show pokes a quite deal of fun at all of the above and she manages to throw a few punches against herself, too! → read more…
