Meeting Bloggers is so Much Fun!
This afternoon I traveled across the swollen Mississippi to meet up with my friend Katy as well as a few new blogging friends in Baton Rouge. We met at a local restaurant and had a great time chatting and getting to know each other better. And I was so happy to see Katy again before…
On to 2nd
I went to The B Man’s 1st grade, end-of-year program this morning. And cried while we all said The Pledge. It always gets me. Memories of my own time in elementary school plus all those little voices saying those words while placing their small hands over their hearts…. Yeah, you try not to cry. 😉…

A Vlog about not vlogging

Still Burning
We sat in chairs on the second-story wooden deck talking, a drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other. We sipped and then took a drag, breathing in the nicotine and exhaling the remnants. In. Out. In. Out. The smoke disappeared into the night. I laughed at a joke he made as I glanced…
Dino-FOUR!
It was really hot and humid here on Friday. But then, on Saturday morning as Tim and I chatted up the folks setting up the party bounce house, I realized how nice it was out. The Outdoor Party Gods (meaning the big man Himself) smiled down on us and granted us THE. PERFECT. weather for…
Happy (early) Birthday to my Little G (it’s on Sunday)!!!
When Little G was born we bonded pretty quickly. He nursed like a champ before we left the hospital and because I did not return to work after his birth, we were always together. I still feel a certain bond to him that is somewhat indescribable. At four years old he is a fierce snuggler…
A little life lesson with a milkshake on the side
When The B Man turned 5 he got a dwarf hamster for his birthday. That was just a little over two years ago. Then the week or so before Easter (of this year) Tim and I started to notice that he/she (gender never determined) wasn’t doing so well and we’ve been on “hamster watch” ever since….
