Bloggy Boot Camp, Round 1
I have a lot to say about this “little” conference. And when I use the word “little” I only mean it in the sense that it has a smaller attendance per city (since it has and will be in a total of 10 places, I think) and in that it is a one-day conference. I…
Instead of 5 posts on this trip to NOLA you just get one long one
You gotta love a town where just two blocks away from a street with BEAUCOUPS bars and strip joints there’s a cathedral that has been named a Basilica AND the Pope John Paul II visited in 1987. Wonder if he sprinkled Holy Water on Bourbon St. Now, let me make myself clear, I am NOT…
Life Lessons Learned Through Another Mother
So there’s this other Mom I know in the community that I run into quite a bit. For the sake of this post, let’s call her Julie (that is NOT her name and for the life of me I can’t remember it right now, so it could possibly be her name, but I’m about 98.356%…
You Need to Quit Using the Recipe on the Back of the Chocolate Chip Package Anyway…
We had some neighbor friends over for dinner tonight. The guys watched football while us ladies stood in the kitchen and drank wine. And at one point we sat down to dinner with 5 kids and 4 adults. We even had to bring in my craft desk chair so we could all fit around the…
WW – I Saw an Old Friend Today…
… although if I called him “old” he’d probably be angry with me. (He turns 50 in a week and half… shhh…I personally think he’s in his prime. Meanwhile, he’s trying to ignore this milestone…) He comes to town often for business and I used to work with his lovely wife, who I ADORE, and…
Stars in Their Eyes
Yes, I invested a few dollars of our money in cheap sunglasses for party favors and yes, they were “Made in China” but in this case, I kinda think it was worth it. And yes, Little G’s are upside down. The Birthday Boy can wear ’em any way he wants AFAIC.* *as far as I’m…
I’ve Returned…
…to home and to blogging. My weekend was wonderful, relaxing, hilarious and a little painful (I’ll explain) and just a beautiful, fun time with good friends. There’s a lot to say and many pictures to post. But some will have to wait because frankly, I’m adjusting back to reality now that my MIL and BIL…
Fated
Tim and I met at a Catholic student retreat that included a few colleges in the area. I didn’t arrive until Saturday morning because I had to work Friday night and if I’d been scheduled on Saturday, I proably wouldn’t have gone. Tim almost didn’t come to the retreat at all. If either of those…
Easter Day Play By Play
7:00 A.M. Daddy brings Mommy her first Easter chocolate. Mmmmmm… 8:03 A.M. Mommy snaps a few pics of the kids outside in the driveway while Daddy is still inserting his contacts and putting on his tie. 8:05 A.M. Mommy’s getting a little perturbed that Daddy still isn’t ready yet… 8:07 A.M. Sweet neighbor whispers across…
