Here I Go Again

June 25, 2008 by Elaine

Do y’all ever get tired of my lists? Sorry if you do, but it’s just who I am. I obviously do NOT get tired of making them so… here we go again! : ) * I went and worked out this morning! Did you read that? WORKED OUT! We finally joined a fitness club and…

Monday Mish Mash

June 23, 2008 by Elaine

So, I am in Austin and if you are reading this that means the auto-posty thingy did it’s job just right. Yay! Here are some random thoughts for a Monday. Take ’em or leave ’em (I suggest you take ’em, but that’s just me…) *How come you can never find a tissue when you need…

Thank God It’s Over

June 19, 2008 by Elaine

I had a bad day yesterday. A little background would be good, right? Something that hasn’t been in my life for almost 2 years came back Wednesday night. Let’s just say between being pregnant for 9 + months and nursing for 13 now, “this” just hadn’t returned. Until now. And it’s here with a vengence….

Here’s to the New Kids

June 10, 2008 by Elaine

Sometimes on my short drive home from church I go through the neighborhood and pass by the elementary school that my boys will attend if we continue to live in this house (no plans to move now, but you never know for sure). This Sunday I did just that. As I passed by I thought…

Listy List List

June 5, 2008 by Elaine

1. It’s the first week in June and already bleepin’ HOT here in Texas. In the last couple of weeks I have done much perspiring or glistening, whichever lady-like term for sweatin’ you wanna use. I think we are really in for it this year. 2. Tim (see honey, it’s in print now!) and I…

Tickling the Ivories

June 3, 2008 by Elaine

My mother bought a beatifully constructed piano, circa 1890, while they lived in California (where I was born) so that she could learn how to play. She took lessons while I grew inside her belly. Perhaps that is why I love music so much? Maybe, maybe not. Either way it’s a nice thought. I also…

Let’s Rock

May 30, 2008 by Elaine

One of my newer bloggy friends, Kristen, mentioned me on her great blog the other day and this darling little button came along with her shout out to me. How cute is this? Apparently she thinks I Rock!! Kristen and I “met” on Kathryn’s blog, although she may not know that. : ) I saw…

Tagged Again!

May 20, 2008 by Elaine

Here’s a little meme that Beth over at The Angel Forever tagged me with. I have to give an extra “shout out” to Beth because she also made the giant cupcake for her baby’s first birthday (which is only a day before Little G’s) and she gave me several tips on how to do it…
