Rewards & Awards

September 18, 2009 by Elaine

The rewards of blogging are numerous. I’ve made SO very many connections through this site that I never thought possible or even dreamed of when I started writing in this space almost three years ago. I’ve been uplifted by the heartfelt comments left here and I’ve nodded my head voraciously at other posts I’ve read…

Who Knew?

August 30, 2009 by Elaine

I went to the BlogHer conference for many reasons. One was because I consider myself a very social person and I LOVE to meet, connect and well, talk and laugh with others. Especially those who share my same interests. What better place, really? I also went (I’ll admit) to promote my own blog and get…

Such a Sweet Shower

August 17, 2009 by Elaine

I have wonderful friends. They are sweet, loving, thoughtful, talented ladies. I thank God for them. And after seeing them this weekend, back at ‘home,” I miss them. But even though I had to leave once again, it was proven to me that no matter what, they will be in my life, especially for the…

Ramble-riffic!

August 6, 2009 by Elaine

Today my feet are not swollen but every other day in the last week, they have been. So, I’m counting my lucky stars right now. What makes this happen? How can I prevent it? Doesn’t someone know? Ugh. Oh and I’m T.I.R.E.D. Like exhausted. Is this partly my fault for staying up too late every…

Let’s Wrap This Up, Shall We?

July 30, 2009 by Elaine

Alright kids, it’s my last Blogher post. I know it’s taking me forever to write about it all but well, there was a lot to document and since it was my first time to attend I want to make sure I do a good job of it, k? I’m not apologizing for being long-posty winded,…

Out And About in Chi-Town

July 28, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday afternoon Haley and I decided that we’d had enough of being cooped up in the hotel and hit the pavement. We may have missed a session or two of interest and I know I missed a few keynote speakers who read favorite posts that I kinda wished I’d heard (I didn’t know that’s…

Where to Start… How ’bout the Beginning?

July 27, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday morning I woke up tired but totally stoked about the next couple of days to come. I’d only seen a handful of people the night before that I wanted to meet and I was ready to find more of my internet friends. The morning started with the intro to the conference from the…

It’s a Whirlwind!

July 24, 2009 by Elaine

So far this trip to BlogHer has been head-spinningly crazy. We got in later than expected last night after riding the shuttle “from Hades” to the hotel (don’t get me started…) and after waiting an hour for our luggage. Oy. The parties were a tad crazy and the mob for swag, well I won’t go…

I’ve Come to Depend on You

July 20, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday was a less than stellar day. I spent the majority of it wallowing in self pity and laying on some soft-ish surface in the house. It wasn’t one of my better days. Probably one of the worst actually. It started out with the boys collectively behaving THE worst they have EVER behaved in church…

So… Yeah…We’re Really Doing This Thing

July 3, 2009 by Elaine

Who’s tired of me talking about moving? I know I am. But, here we go again. Yesterday was mine and the boys’ last FULL day in Texas. We are hittin’ the road after lunch today. I went to check on things at the “old” house yesterday (yes, there’s still work being done there) and I…
