I’ve been “single parenting” a bit lately and even though Tim has not been around very much for dinner, I’m still making the same amount of food for our family in the evenings. This means the fridge is full of leftovers. When he does return home to sleep for a few hours, he’s spent. The…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – Proof I may be a tad bit crazy…
I haven’t officially signed up for it yet. My brain isn’t even truly psyched for it. Yet. But. I’ve told myself I’m going to go for it. I’ve started training for a half marathon.*swallows hard* There are a few conditions, however. First of all (and perhaps the MOST important) I have problems with my right…
Living Up To My Name
If there was any doubt that my blog is aptly named, let me dispel those thoughts right now. This week’s posts, as a whole, do seem to prove my “Miss Elaine-ous-ness” From sweet to sad. From stories to pictures. Between a pic of K stuffing her face with pancakes to one of my worst memories…
Blog On Sista! (refelctions on blogging)
As I entered into the experience that was BlogHer ’11 I had no reservations and I was not stressed about going. Admittedly I was a tad anxious just because I knew I would meet many new people. It’s much like I used to feel when I was a kid, getting ready for the first day of school,…
YOU & Me. It’s Where I Wanna Be- #SummerBlogSocial
I’m thrilled to participate in the #SummerBlogSocial hosted by Liz and Jessica because I really like these ladies and their great ideas and because I’ve been blogging for a while. Not to mention, I’m also very “social” so it certainly seems to fit, right? I perused the topics (all 13 of them!) several times and…
Just Keepin’ in Real
I came home from our week-long road trip to a husband I missed A LOT. My friends and family were great while we visited with them. The kids and I spent about 17 hours on the road total and they did really well. We had a wonderful time and it was so nice to hang…
Fresh Produce Clothing – Review
One of my favorite things to wear in the summer are casual sun dresses. I have a few already that I wear every year but I’m always looking for new ones to add to my collection plus I like ones that are versatile and I can also wear to church and maybe even out to…
A Vlog about not vlogging
So, I vlogged. A sweet lady that I already “knew” plus a couple more I “met” today on twitter are hosting a great new meme called “VlogTalk” and I thought I’d join in. Peer pressure really is an amazing thing. Even at age 36. One of the topics, inspired by the fabulous Liz from a…
Are they too short?
I bought these shorts at Loft a few weeks ago. And then I kinda regretted it. But, it gets REALLY hot here. However, I am 36 now. NOT 16. Are they too short? What do YOU think?I’ve been going over it in my head and looking at myself in the mirror and let me tell you…
So, Um, I Kinda Lost 30 Pounds…
The other morning I stepped on the scale and glanced down at the number between my feet and a HUGE smile came across my face. I’ve done it, y’all. I’ve lost 30 pounds!! The number on the scale isn’t lying. All the running. All the “low-carbing”. All the Zumba classes. All the desserts resisted. It…
