Having a Moment While in Big Lots
It is always at this time of the year when I get extremely nostalgic, sentimental and extra appreciative for this life of mine. I assume that is the case for many but of course I only know the extent of it for myself. Last week one morning I was in Big Lots buying additional…
My Apartment
There was a small fire on the balcony one night and I jumped out of bed so fast when I realized that the combination of a crackling noise and the smell of smoke was just that. It was my first apartment to have on my own. I dialed 911 after putting out the bright orange…
Thanksgiving Snapshots
I am just about coming out of my carb coma from this long weekend full of pie and well, CARBS. Sooo many carbs, my friends. I think that small dollop of green been casserole I plopped on my plate totally cancelled them out though, don’t you? Absolutely not. Our trip over the river and through…
For some reason this one did not make the cut.
I am ahead of the game this year and already have our Christmas cards ordered. I know, I rock. 😉 A couple of weekends ago we set up the tripod at the “old horse farm” that is next door to our neighborhood. It was land that the local university used in days past for well,…

But you JUST ate.” “No, you may not have another piece of candy.” “Please, just get in the bathroom.” “IF YOU…

Old School Blogging – November
Y’all. This is a good one. 🙂 I dug this baby up from May of 2008! Now THAT is Old School! Ha! It’s just a cute little question/answer meme that went around back then and about all I have time for right now. I hope you will link up with me and the…
Over Lunch…
I sighed as I opened the fridge door, thinking about the fact that I needed to eat some lunch. The little girl in the house had already determined she wanted macaroni and cheese so I pulled one of the microwavable packets from our pantry. The hum of the microwave sounded in the background as I…
Listen To Your Mother 2014!
A couple of years ago I got chills as I sat at my computer and watched my friend Stephanie read her Listen To Your Mother piece. It was surreal to actually LISTEN to her speak her own words on stage since I had read them on her blog for such a long time. And as I…
