So… That’s me and my high school boyfriend (who was a year behind me in school, by the way) headed out for MY Senior Prom. Get a load of this. Standing on my parents’ green shag carpet. Wearing my gold “dyed-to-match” shoes and my hair had just come out of HOT rollers for like an…
Where I am From
A couple of my favorite fellow bloggers did posts like this not too long ago and I was inspired by them to write this… I am from cotton farmers and people who speak “Czech”. I am from Summer nights catching fireflies and Fourth of Julys sitting on top of my Dad’s old Chevy watching the…
Five Drawers and a Door
I have this thing about furniture. Especially old furniture. I like to go “antiquing” and usually when I find a piece of furniture that I REALLY like, I know it pretty instantly. It was this way with the piece I bought for our bedroom during this last Summer. And it was this way with the…
I’ve Done VERY Little to Support the Sugar Industry These Last Three Months and Zumba is My New Best Friend
When I was a little girl I was pretty chunky. I always had to have the biggest soccer shorts and sometimes even those didn’t fit me. But I still wore them. Ugh. I was the ‘biggest’ girl in dance class (not the tallest, but widest) and I was teased a lot. One time while riding…
WW – I Saw an Old Friend Today…
… although if I called him “old” he’d probably be angry with me. (He turns 50 in a week and half… shhh…I personally think he’s in his prime. Meanwhile, he’s trying to ignore this milestone…) He comes to town often for business and I used to work with his lovely wife, who I ADORE, and…
Running Back in Time
I went to the gym tonight because I wanted to try to cancel out the dessert I already knew I wanted to eat… oh….like yesterday. Oh and because exercising is FUN! WHEE! (just a hint a sarcasm there) And I did pretty good. I ran a total of 10 minutes, in five two-minute stretches and…
Just One Year Ago
Today was the day last year that we found out we would be parents for the third time. We were a little surprised at the time but of course we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our sweet Katie is a joy and light that God knew we needed. And we thank Him for her…
A Proper Goodbye
For some reason I don’t feel like a gave a good enough nod to 2009 here on the blog, or even in my own mind. Here we are almost two weeks into the new year and I feel as if I still need to do so. When I think back on it I realize that…
WW – Still Stylin’ After All These Years
The kitchen that Santa brought last Christmas (2008) is now in Baby K’s room and Little G, Baby K and I were all in her room playing this morning. She was in the crib laughing at her sunflower and he was “baking” me something. I suddenly remembered that I had a knitted sweater and matching…
Looking Back
Make a Smilebox slideshow I made a smilebox collage that summarizes our 2009. I hope you’ll take a look! Happy New Year and New decade! WOW, 2010 is really here!
