I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Yesterday I had a little time to do some shopping, so I headed out to our fancy new shopping center here in town. I've already discussed at length the return of 80's fashions, so I won't bore y'all by repeating my thoughts on the subject.Consider it a public service announcement when I tell you that the 80's fashion is out in full force. I saw leggings, I saw vests, and I am not lying when I say Read More

I use the term "celebrity" loosely here

Friends, T.V. Love

I haven't had the chance to finish watching this week's Project Runway. It is currently taunting me, waiting for me on DVR. I'll get to it right after Greys' Anatomy tonight. But until I do, here is a little Project Runway information.Gulley called me last week to let me know that her sister Sarah had a celebrity sighting a few nights before while eating dinner in New York City.Before I tell Read More

In a kingdom far, far away

Doodle

Last night before bed, I sat Caroline down on the potty so hopefully she could have one last tee-tee before she went to sleep. I was kneeling down next to her and she wrapped her arms around my neck, pulled me close until our noses were touching and said, "I'm going to tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, beautiful girl named Mama".Does it even matter what the rest of the Read More

Hold me closer Tony Danza

Just for fun

Gulley called me the other morning and she had been on the phone with our friend Stephanie. Steph had called to see if Gulley had seen Fergie earlier that morning on the Today show. Gulley said that no she hadn't and wondered to herself if Fergie was promoting a new book about Weight Watchers or being the Duchess of York, when she realized that the Fergie that Steph was talking about was Fergie Read More

Mamas are way cool and hip…or not

Just for fun

I finally got my September/October issue of Paula's Home Cooking in the mail today. I'm not sure why Paula wasn't on her A game and I'm just now receiving it, but I'm just glad it's here because it is chock full of all kinds of things I'm going to cook in the next few weeks. She even has a recipe for popcorn balls which I'm just thrilled about because some of my favorite Halloween memories include Read More

The prima ballerina

Doodle

Caroline had dance class yesterday and even though she's been going to dance since July, I crack up every time she has on her leotard and tights. Her boodelay (thanks for that word, Toni) isn't any bigger than it was the day she was born. She's just a long, lean dancing machine, except for her little pot belly which is quickly becoming the last remnant of babyhood.Mimi and Bops had been out of Read More

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

I will sing a new song

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
