I will sing a new song

Seriously

I'm tired. I had a long work week last week and nothing makes me feel more rundown than days of sitting through meeting after meeting. I don't really talk about my job here and I won't go into any detail because 1. it's not that interesting and 2. if by chance someone who works with me were to stumble onto it, I don't want to say anything incriminating. So I'm like Sydney Bristow, that part of my Read More

Fall into Reading

Just for fun

I am a little late with my list for the Fall book challenge hosted by Katrina at Callipidder Days. As some of y'all who read Big Mama on a regular basis know, I have had technical difficulties this week. I've also struggled with my list because I'm not necessarily a planner (and by not necessarily, I mean not at all).I read constantly, but usually what I read is determined by what looks good at Read More

Because I know y’all enjoy the silliness

Just for fun

This may become a new feature at Big Mama where I just randomly list whatever number of various things are currently on my mind. It will be like Thursday 13 except not. I could design a cute little graphic for it and call it Saturday 7 or Wednesday 4, except I have limited computer skills and don't know how to create graphics. So here you go.1. P is still sleeping in his goggles that he's been Read More

Home is where my heart is

Another day

When my plane finally touched down late this afternoon, I had never been so glad to be home. I love my people and I don't like being away from them, no matter how fun it may be to sit in a small, windowless room in a hotel for three days. I was waiting by the curb for P to pick me up and when I saw his truck come around the corner, my heart flipped just a little bit. I jumped in and there was Read More

Oh wireless connection, how I’ve missed thee

Another day

If y'all heard a huge sigh of relief about an hour and a half ago, it was the sound of me not only getting my laptop back but being able to connect to the wireless connection at the hotel. Y'all can't imagine what I have been through.I arrived in the Dallas area yesterday at 4:00 pm and was told to turn my laptop in at the door on my way in so that they could add system "upgrades". Umm, I'm Read More

Put your hands together for modern technology

Another day

Did y'all know that you can get internet access on your T.V. in hotel rooms? Neither did I until desperation drove me to find a way to get online.I'm out of town for ironically, some computer training and the first thing they did when I arrived was take my laptop from me. I immediately began to experience symptoms of withdrawal. Then I noticed that TV internet was listed under menu options and a Read More

100 things about Big Mama

Memes

In blog tradition, this is my 100th post so here are 100 things about me otherwise known as maybe a great way to put yourself to sleep.1. I was born in Houston, TX2. The year was 19713. My hair was so thick and long that it was down to the middle of my back at 2 years old4. I wish it was still that thick and long5. Sadly, pregnancy did some irreversible damage6. Talk about big hair, you should've Read More
