Lucky Streak

April 21, 2008 by Elaine

Last week I was gifted with two different bloggy giveaways (woot!) but then I completely forgot to buy any lottery tickets. Yeesh! I so would’ve won, right? I just wanted to say thanks (via some linky love) to Amy at By His Grace for the $15 Blockbuster card (movies – yeah!) and to Lawanda at…

An Angel in Atlanta

April 18, 2008 by Elaine

Are y’all tired of my alliteration yet? Hey, I can’t help it if all the words I need to use happen to start with the same letter. I mean really… Anyway, on to why this post is titled as such… In a former life I worked for a pretty large furniture company as a home…

April 17, 2008 by Elaine

Yesterday we went down to the farm with our playgroup to pick our own strawberries. That is after our lunch at McDonald’s. See, this farm is right smack dab in the middle of our city. But just for a little while you can feel like you are out in the country. Well, until you look…

Happy Birthday Mom!

April 15, 2008 by Elaine

Today is my Mom’s birthday! She is one year shy of a pretty big decade, but I won’t say which. A woman never tells her age, right? Well in this case, a woman’s daughter never tells her age. Anyway, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom (and yes, it’s tax day.) Wouldn’t…

From Diamonds to Diapers

April 13, 2008 by Elaine

We went to Costco today – you know… the place where I buy my jeans (see previous post). We always go with a little list of things we need and then end up with WAY more stuff. What is that about anyway? Unfortunately we never walk out with the big rock (a.k.a. diamond) that I…
