Capital P

I feel we represent a different kind of southern living

Another day, Capital P

Well, after reading some of the comments on yesterday's post, I was thoroughly freaked out about the possibility that the acorns Caroline brought home for me might be the host vehicle for some type of worm as opposed to little tiny oak trees that never reached their full potential. So I explained the situation to her and said it might be in our best interest to use them somewhere outside. Like Read More

It’s not really a dry heat

Another day, Capital P, Doodle

I will remember Saturday as one of the hottest days of my life. Although I'm sure I've probably survived hotter days. But those days didn't happen forty-eight hours ago so I don't need to complain about them at this juncture. Saturday morning started off just fine. Except for the fact that Caroline doesn't really get the concept that Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. I can't figure out Read More

The injury list includes my pride

Another day, Capital P

I just fell over the dog. I don't know why I feel compelled to let you know that, but it just happened and it's the most significant thing that's going on in my life. Mainly because I landed on my wrist and now I'm typing funny. I'd just tucked Caroline into bed when I heard P knocking on the back door. He had gone outside to test the new headlights he installed on his Polaris and I'd Read More

Let freedom and aloe vera ring

Another day, Capital P, Doodle

If I measured our Fourth of July fun based on the level of pain I'm experiencing from the sparkler-induced blister on the bottom of my foot, then it's safe to say that we had a grand old time. But, hypothetically speaking, if you ever decide it might be fun to light two Morning Glory sparklers at the same time and hold them together to create maximum fireworks excitement, you might want to Read More

Mullets and overalls

Another day, Capital P

Well I cannot thank y'all enough for all the oven advice. I haven't actually done anything about my oven yet, but I feel like I will approach the matter with confidence when I decide the time is right. Your guess is as good as mine as to when that time will be because I have a tendency to feel like something is very urgent and then forget all about it. It's a gift really. However, yesterday Read More

And then I’m going swimming

Another day, Capital P, Doodle

I didn't even discuss what we did this past weekend. Probably because, now that it's summer, the weekend doesn't look much different than all the other days in the week. We went swimming and then we went swimming and then we went swimming again. Thank you. Good night. Actually P was out of town fishing all weekend. His original plan was to leave on Friday evening, fish all day Saturday Read More

Girl world

Yesterday was one of those days where it threatened to rain all day, but it never actually poured down rain until the minute I walked out the door to pick up Caroline from school. I was so glad I was wearing a white shirt. Nothing like a peep show at the elementary school. After we got home and changed into dry clothes, I emailed the soccer team to let them know we would still have practice Read More

Gone fishing

Capital P, Doodle

While I was on my tour of the United States, P and Caroline headed to the ranch to do a little fishing. I think they had a pretty good time. We won't talk about how long it took me to get all the tangles out of her hair when I got home. Because what's important is the size of that bass. And the size of those smiles. *Caroline's shirt says "A bad day huntin' with Dad beats Read More

I’ll be singing On the Wings of Love all day

Capital P, Doodle, Just for fun

Oh, did we have a big day yesterday and not just because it was the season premiere of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. Although really? What else could I have possibly wanted to make my quest for the perfect day complete? Not that I was really on the quest for a perfect day because what are the odds that a day will come when I am able to watch a marathon of Real Housewives of NY while Read More
