In blog tradition, this is my 100th post so here are 100 things about me otherwise known as maybe a great way to put yourself to sleep.1. I was born in Houston, TX2. The year was 19713. My hair was so thick and long that it was down to the middle of my back at 2 years old4. I wish it was still that thick and long5. Sadly, pregnancy did some irreversible damage6. Talk about big hair, you should've Read More

Show and a tale of an Indian

Doodle

Caroline's school has show and tell once a week and we're supposed to bring something that starts with the letter of the week. Last week was the letter "A", so I did some serious looking around the house and found an arrowhead. Perfection.I showed it to Caroline and told her it was a rock that Indians had carved to make an arrow so that they could use it to hunt. She was intrigued and I could see Read More

Aggieland, Friends

All I have to be

Seriously

When I was 10, I went to a YMCA camp with a group of girlfriends. It was my first summer camp experience and I loved everything about it, except maybe the salamanders in the showers.My counselor was named Carla and I thought she was the greatest thing I had ever seen. She was so mature, pretty and grownup. Looking back, she couldn't have been any older than 17, but to a 10 year old she was Read More

Incredible with a capital eye

Capital P

I mentioned in my previous post, with utmost sympathy and concern, that P was having Lasik eye surgery today. What I didn't know was that I was going to be able to watch the surgery happen live on a video monitor.Now because of my job, I read alot of articles in medical journals so I am well aware of the advances that have been made in medical technology. Did you know that a study came out this Read More

The little black and white dress

T.V. Love

For those of y'all who watch Project Runway, how glad were you that Laura won last night? Not only did I love her little dress, but I felt so bad for her because she was so down about last week. I mean this woman is pregnant with her 6th child. I have one child and have days where I can barely manage a coherent thought, so the fact that she is on this show coming up with brilliant designs amazes Read More

If only I could think of 6 more things

Another day, Just for fun

I have so many things running through my head today and rather than trying to make them all flow together, I'm taking the easy (lazy) way out and just throwing them at y'all.1. Y'all, Emmitt Smith can dance. He might dance as well as he plays football. If y'all aren't watching Dancing with the Stars, it is worth it just to watch Emmitt. I may have a small crush on him.2. I ran to the grocery store Read More
