I learned something about myself today

It’s not totally outside of my capabilities to be organized!  I mean, I’m not a sloth, nor am I completely unorganized.  But in certain areas of my life, I’ve always assumed that I wasn’t created to be one of those “think ahead” kinda girls.  But today I totally thought ahead. It, um, wasn’t that hard […]

I Said “A Boom Chicka Boom…”

This post has nothing to do with that title – I have just really wanted to title a post that for a long time now… Actually, this post really has to do with nothing at all.  You’re ripe with excitement to read further aren’t you?  Maybe I should do an entire post of one liners. […]

A Note to Samuel Clemens

Dear Sam, I decided to read your book to my children last week.  You know, the classic novel you wrote that captured 19th century boyhood with charm, wit and mischeif.  I wanted my kids to have an adventure with Tom and Huck.  I wanted them to know about what life was like back when days were […]

Today I plan to melt your hearts

Yesterday was Tia’s first day of preschool so it was only natural that I pull out my trusty magic camera and take 697 pictures before she left. The results were glorious.  She was cute, naturally.  She can’t help but be cute.  And Sloan was ever the charmer. “Mom, you can take two pictures of me […]

Fluctuating Between UberExcited and Totally Freaking Out

We leave for Italy in ten days.  Let me write that again in case you didn’t catch it the first time. TEN DAYS!!!! Someone actually asked me a couple of weeks ago if I felt guilty spending the money on such a “lavish” trip when the economy is bad, so many are in need and […]

We’re laboring over whether to be productive or sit on our duffs watching football and eating snacks all day. […]

Kickboxing

Yesterday I took out my frustrations and stress in an hour and forty five minutes of intense exercise. I started with cardio kickboxing.  I punched, jabbed, upper cut and hooked with all of the anger I could muster.  I imagined I was hitting a certain entity that is causing a bit of stress right now.  […]

the one where I wax poetic

Just kidding.  I’m not going to wax poetic about anything.   I actually am going to partake in a little verbal vomit.  See?  Vomit.  It’s not a very poetic word.  I should change the title of this post, but I don’t want to.  Maybe I’ll be inspired as I write and maybe I will begin to […]

New Orleans: Food, Music and Inspiration

I spent two and a half hectic days in New Orleans this weekend and it was truly inspiring.  The music, the food, the survivors, the fellow bloggers, the hot HGTV hosts… It really was a great trip.  It wasn’t without a few glitches and a few things could have been a little more organized, but […]
