Another day

This isn’t a podcast or a fashion post

Another day

Well. I hope you all had a lovely Easter with your friends, family and various loved ones. Personally, I have no desire to ever see another egg in any given form for at least a few weeks. We have had boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg casserole and egg kabobs. Not really on the egg kabobs but I felt like Bubba from Forrest Gump and so I went with it. Last week went by pretty fast because I Read More

The day the deep freeze died

Another day, Diary

Let me tell you a little story. I think it was last Friday afternoon, after a week of Spring Break and moving into a weekend where we had no plans at all, that I wondered if maybe I'd been a little overly dramatic about how busy we are these days. Not that I would ever be overly dramatic in a million, billion years, but it was just a thought. I felt relaxed. I was caught up on laundry. The Read More

Just a few random things

Another day, Diary

Before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you for all the sweet comments and kind words. Just getting all my thoughts out made me feel so much better and to read everything you wrote was an unexpected bonus. I honestly read a lot of it with tears in my eyes at how awesome this little corner of the internet is and that's because of you. We are thoroughly enjoying our Spring Break Read More

A blog about nothing

Another day, Diary

First, let's discuss that the spring time change is the most cruel of all the time changes. When I realized Saturday afternoon that we had to move the clocks up an hour, I felt a part of my soul die. We all hate it, yet we all do it. It's like paying taxes or grocery shopping on a Sunday afternoon, an inevitable part of life that makes you question everything you know to be true. The look on Read More

I went to Las Vegas and all you’re getting is this lousy blog post

Another day

So. I don't know how it's already almost the end of the week. I'm so tired that I had to just stop and actually make sure it is almost the end of the week because my days are so off and I think I'm still on Las Vegas time even though we've been home for three days. And since it is, in fact, Wednesday night as I sit and write this, I believe it qualifies as almost the end of the week because Read More

Another day, another dinner, another T.V. show

Another day

I knew this week was probably not going to be my favorite because there was no holiday on Monday or an impending ice storm that would turn it into a three day week like last week. And, sure enough, today was just Monday which means there are still four more legitimate days left where I will need to be a productive adult and do things like get up early and pack lunches and drive carpool and cook Read More

Live from Icepocalyspe 2018

Another day, Diary

When I was a little girl, I was endlessly fascinated with the episode of Little House on the Prairie when a blizzard suddenly hits Walnut Grove and Miss Beedle had already sent some of the children home from school and Pa and the other men of Walnut Grove had to get out and find them while everyone else hunkered down in the schoolhouse to weather the storm. I have vivid memories of re-enacting Read More

Playing catch up

Another day, Beauty

Y'all. I am the worst blogger ever. But in my defense, I have been very busy keeping up with current events. Specifically, reading everything I can about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry while also keeping up with the Texas A&M coaching situation. It has been a big news cycle surrounding all the things I care about. The only thing missing was a lead story about rose hip oil and a new Read More
