WW – My Foundation Has Been Shaken

June 24, 2009 by Elaine

There really are no words… (…but I will say, this is what the back of my house looks like right now. They say they can finish and make it look just like it did by the end of the day tomorrow. As my mother would say, “That remains to be seen.”) I’m SO over this…

Happy Father’s Day!

June 21, 2009 by Elaine

I used to think about what “kind” of father Tim would be before we had children. I used to wonder how he would react to certain situations or how well he would bond with them. Yes, us women just do things like that. Of course there was never any reason for concern because he’s a…

The Good, The Bad and The UGH.

June 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m actually going to start with the UGH part, just to get it out of the way. The house, is suckin’ the life outta me. The one I’ve written a post to profess my love for (but haven’t published yet). The one we are currently living in and need to sell in a so-so market….

Texas, My Texas

June 16, 2009 by Elaine

As we prepare to leave the great state of Texas for who knows how long, I’m pondering what a BIG deal it really is to me. I’ve lived somewhere in Texas since I was a wee 16th month old. All the big things that have happened in my life have happened within in these borders….
