Seriously

I’ve started this and deleted the first sentence about twenty-six times in the last thirty minutes. Because sometimes there just aren’t words. Or as Forrest Gump says, “Sometimes there aren’t enough rocks”. I don’t write about current events very much. Not because I don’t care, but because I usually want this to be a place where we can laugh and try to find the lighter side of life. But Read More

Oh if you only knew the irony of the post I'm about to write. It's thick. Especially since I tend to stick to writing about reality television and other meaningless nonsense. Like my love for bright yellow jackets on sale for $23.99. I just tend to write about the funny, lighthearted things because I am generally a funny, lighthearted person. But then I spent a large portion of the day Read More

Okay. Here I go. This is a lot for me to get out in the aftermath of a post about my sheer giddiness over the Aggies victory against Oklahoma. The last few months have been filled with a few things that have made me feel left out. Nothing huge or earth-shattering by any stretch of the imagination, but enough to make me feel a little bit like I'm in fourth grade again and the last one picked Read More

I didn't mean to leave you in suspense. The loud sound I heard Thursday night was, in fact, the end of the mouse as we knew it. And I feel fine. However, I still haven't put anything back in the cabinet because we still need to confirm that he was acting alone. So yesterday morning I drove to Georgetown to speak to a MOPS group at First Baptist Church. (MOPS stands for mothers of Read More

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend with the ones you love. And I don't just mean the Cadbury Eggs. "The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." Matthew 28: 5-6 Read More

I realize this isn't my normal Fashion Friday post, but it just doesn't seem right to put up a bunch of links to cute shoes and sweaters when there is such devastation in Haiti right now. I'm not going to get on a soapbox about how we could all give what we'd normally spend on all our little creature comforts this week, but just think how that money could help those without food or shelter right Read More

Okay. So let's not talk about how frivolous my last post was detailing my internet woes. Yesterday morning I went over to my sister's house to spend a few hours with my sweet little nephew while she went to the doctor's office to get antibiotics for a sinus infection because being the mother of a newborn is very glamorous. While she was gone, I watched all the news reports coming in from Read More

I've never been one to make a lot of New Year's resolutions. Maybe it's because they are very similar to goals and, honestly, who needs that kind of pressure? However, if I were the type of person to make resolutions then I'm ahead of the game because I've already accomplished something significant and the new year hasn't even begun. That's right. I will ring in 2010 smelling of Read More

For the last several weeks Caroline has walked around the house singing bits and pieces of God Bless the USA by the bearded Lee Greenwood. Then sometime last week I noticed she was humming a few bars of the Air Force theme, Wild Blue Yonder. It all began to make sense when she was sent home with a note explaining that her school was having a special program in honor of Veterans' Day. And Read More
