Listen To Your Mother 2014!

November 7, 2013 by Elaine

A couple of years ago I got chills as I sat at my computer and watched my friend Stephanie read her Listen To Your Mother piece.  It was surreal to actually LISTEN to her speak her own words on stage since I had read them on her blog for such a long time.  And as I…

Old School Blogging, June

June 6, 2013 by Elaine

I originally posted the answers to this Old School meme back in July of 2008!  Some of them have changed out of preference and some have stayed the same since they are fact.  It was still fun to go back and read my almost five-year old answers though.  Apparently my love for chocolate has waned…

March 27, 2013 by Elaine

From the moment Nicole told me that she would pick me up at the airport, I knew Blissdom was going to be pretty awesome. And despite the fact that my sweet roommate Kim got sick, it was quite wonderful. We kicked it off with a wonderful photo walk on Thursday afternoon where I finally got…
