New cars and I don’t get along that well.(you know where this is going, right?) Back when we got our CR-V in 2005, it only took me a few weeks to “bump” into something. It wasn’t that big of a deal and we got it fixed but I felt horrible about the whole thing. Enter…
My Life on the Fridge
Sometimes I sit in the spot at our kitchen table, where I can see the side of the fridge really well. I try to keep the front of the fridge fairly clean, except for a grocery list writing pad and sometimes a few seasonal things the kids have made at school. Like these hearts. This…
My Kids Crack Me Up
The other night we were talking to The B Man about how we need to get him a new mattress. I won’t EVEN tell you how old the one he has been sleeping on happens to be thesameoneIsleptonasakid.He was all gung-ho about the idea and after I laid down on his bed I was all…
Funky Town
Do you just ever feel like your life is on “repeat”? Sort of like that movie “Groundhog Day”? he’s tickling her face. gah, they’re cute. I’ve kinda felt that way lately. Wake up. Feed kids. Drop off kids. Run. Grocery shop. Feed kids. Run (other errands). Compute (which encompasses many things…). Laundry. Pick up kids. Feed…
She’s So Random
I’m *pretty sure* I want to will run another half marathon in Austin at the end of March. Like really, THE last day of March. I’ve started training again like I’m going to do it but I’ve been eating like a pig lately peanut M&Ms are good. (I must be making up for low-carb lost…
Just Flowers
Our winters are warm here. They just are. The temps usually only get below freezing 2 or 3 times each year. Which I’m really fine with. Our weather lately has been more like early Spring or late Fall. 65 to 70 degrees? Yeah. And as a bonus we have these beautiful camellia bushes all around…
My Space & Miss Elaine-ous Monday
Last week you all saw the desk that I cleaned up and out. Since then I acquired a new BFF (also known as a new laptop, and no, it’s not from the apple family, don’t start) and two photography actual, legitimate paying customers. So… I decided that I needed to sit at said desk instead…
Wow, What A Year!
Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions. I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…
Berries, Buds & Babies (okay, kids, but hey, they’re MY babies forever!!)
Christmas time in Louisiana can be is always pretty warm. I think the high temp today was around 76. Who knows what it will be on actual Christmas Day. I would guess 65. The camellias bloom in December and January, making it look almost Spring-like in the dead of winter. And the ONLY snowmen we…
Please Don’t Take This Personally, Giada
Not too long ago we decided it was finally time for a new coffee maker. We are not ones to do the ole vinegar and warm water clean out thing (is that how it works anyway?) very often or ever so it had gotten kinda cruddy after many years of use. And even though I…
