And so I’ve been reduced to this

Just for fun, T.V. Love

Well since I already admitted to watching Beverly Hills 90210 on Saturday morning, I'd say it's a safe bet that our weekend didn't really involve anything that would qualify as exciting. Basically it was a whole lot of nothing. But I'm not complaining because other than having nothing to write about, non-eventful weekends aren't a bad thing. I know y'all will be relieved to know that P was Read More

I’d rather not remember this Alamo Bowl

Aggieland

This is where I could talk about my frustration in watching the Aggies drive 98 yards down the field, only to be stopped on 4th and 1 while Jovorskie Lane stood on the sidelines and watched us run the option. But, instead, I will focus on pleasant, happy thoughts like bunnies, rainbows, and boxes full of puppies. And, most pleasing of all, the fact that every single one of my Christmas Read More

I am but an optimistic fool

T.V. Love

< Several of y'all have emailed to ask what I thought about last night's episode of The Bachelor. I wasn't going to talk about it because my feelings for The Bachelor are similar to how you feel when you keep telling your friends you're going to break up with a loser boyfriend but instead keep going back to him. Not that I'd know anything about that. I've just heard that some girls in Read More

Words don’t do this justice either

Aggieland, Road trips

So after we went to our dinner thing on Friday night, we met up with our friend Jamie. She lives in College Station and her boys had an 8 a.m. soccer game the next morning, but she met us anyway. And despite my warnings, she had a new hairstyle with bangs. However, she doesn't have my unfortunate cowlick issues, so it totally works for her. We caught up with Jamie until the waitstaff at Read More

Words don’t do it justice

Aggieland, Road trips

We had so much fun this weekend. Honestly, I don't even know where to start. But, if I don't start somewhere then I'll just sit here like I've been sitting here for the last 2 hours, procrastinating, because I don't even know how to tell y'all about the weekend. I think for lack of a better format, I'm going to tell y'all about the weekend in chronological order. Be prepared, it may be a Read More

Quick weekend update

Aggieland

A few thoughts from the weekend. 1. Texas A&M is truly one of the greatest places on earth. It had been so long since I had attended a game at Kyle Field that I had forgotten how incredible it is. It is, seriously, the best place in the world to watch a college football game. And I'm only slightly biased. At halftime, in the middle of the Fightin' Texas Aggie band performance, Former Read More

Edition 6: Fashion Friday

Aggieland, Fashion

I haven't even mentioned that Gulley and I are headed to College Station for a big college reunion type thing. But we are. We are leaving town around 2:00 today and will be sans the petites until early Sunday afternoon. Excited doesn't really even begin to cover it. And yes, our kids are darling. We love our kids. But a break? A break is good. Even the Lord rested on the Sabbath. Read More

Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in my rearview mirror

Aggieland

I don't think it will really surprise anyone to know that the A&M game today caused me to make chocolate chip cookies so that I could self-medicate with cookie dough. Here's a little history lesson. The last time the Aggies won in Lubbock was 1993. I was at the game. As a student. I should have known after last week's game when Coach Fran said, "We may not win another game all Read More
