October 19, 2010 by Elaine

I haven’t been feeling that well since we returned from our weekend jaunt and I think it may just be allergies (Ragweed can go to h.e.l.l.) but whatever it is is putting me in a foul mood. And when I’m in a foul mood AND not feeling well, I’d rather just sleep and by sleep…

Kinda

October 18, 2010 by Elaine

I kinda felt like I was in another world over the weekend. I also kinda felt like it was “back in the day” before Tim and I had our three beautiful children together. I kinda felt like I was in some sort of dream at times… We had a wonderful, fun, relaxing, rejuvenating time with…

A Dream Come True

October 15, 2010 by Elaine

I had a dream of her… Her hair was blonde and fine and softer than silk. Her eyes were crystal blue, like little oceans. Her lips were small and perfectly shaped. Her cheeks, round and full and oh so kissable. After the dream, I waited for her. I wasn’t sure if it was real. I…

You Capture – Animals

October 14, 2010 by Elaine

When I saw this topic I thought “I could TRY to get some pictures of our hamster.” You know, the one that’s the size of a mouse and runs really bleepin’ fast. Yeah, not happening. So my second thought came to fruition. My kids have A LOT of animals alright. As you can see right…

Where I am From

October 12, 2010 by Elaine

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

October 8, 2010 by Elaine

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…
