This Is The Life

Clyde.  Clyde, Clyde, Clyde. Clyde that wakes me up at least twice a night to be fed, let out, etc.  Every night I am up and down with this cat.  Come mornings, at 4:30 A.M. to be precise, I stumble and bumble my way through my morning routine to get dressed and ready for work, [...]

Cable & Internet Service- What Do You Pay?

Because we live in a small town, we’re pretty much at the mercy of one cable company and two cell phone companies to meet our communications needs. I’ve thought about switching our cable to satellite, but I don’t want to lose our local programming, so I won’t make the switch. We also get our internet [...]

Ungrateful

Yesterday, I had a pretty big bout of the “ungratefuls”. I stomped around and huffed and puffed until I finally took a break and ran to the grocery store. The little “alone time” in doing that left me feeling pretty ridiculous by the time I had made it home. But have you ever had that [...]

Saddle Up, Cowboy!

This past Saturday E.B. got to experience his first horse ride.  He went to a cowboy-themed birthday party at a real barn out in the country.  It was absolutely freezing, but that didn’t stop my little guy from thoroughly enjoying himself.  I was concerned that he might be afraid of the horse, but he couldn’t [...]

Word For The New Year

  As I sat at my computer on New Year’s Eve, I had already planned out what my “word” for the new year would be. I had thought it out carefully and was pretty satisfied with what I had chosen and why. I can be somewhat of a procrastinator when it actually comes to sitting [...]

When Facebook Meets Tragedy

  My family has suffered an incomprehensible loss this week, and if you are a regular reader, I do want to reassure you that I, my husband, and my son are fine in the physical sense. Emotionally, we are fragile. While I cannot share the details of what has happened, I could not let this [...]

Addicted To Pinterest

Ok, raise your hand if you’re currently fighting an addiction to Pinterest. Yeah, me too. I’ve been totally guilty of staying up way too late the past few nights just drooling over the amazing ideas I’m finding there for everything from home decor to cooking. This is how my Pinterest love/hate relationship has gone down [...]

Royal Wedding 2011 Recap

While the general public who could have cared less is probably glad the hoopla surrounding the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is finally winding down, I still can’t get enough of the spectacular display of pomp and circumstance that made the ceremony absolutely beautiful.  I’ve watched it twice on television, when it [...]

What Happens Tomorrow

Raise your hand if you’re still recovering from Christmas. That would be me, too.  I’ve been an organizing fool, playing mean games of Hungry Hungry Hippos, wondering just how many Legos are too many,  trying to entertain a stir-crazy 5 year old who is thrilled beyond words at not having to go to school the past [...]

Deer Hunting Season

There’s usually only a couple of stipulations to planning a wedding in the South, or at least where I live.  You don’t plan a wedding during SEC football season and you most certainly don’t plan a wedding during hunting season.  Doing so would guarantee that more than half the male population wouldn’t show up, the groom [...]
