Self Portrait Sunday 10/25/2009
Yes, with a real camera! Today was spent at cheer competition. And I must insert here that I was told I looked pretty darn good today. And no Medifast coupons were used to obtain the figure that was so complimented. Which you can’t even see ...
Forty Three
So, after such a long freaking hiatus, which I am sure I will be discussing at some point, I’ve come back to tell you that I put all my shoes in my new closet today (yes, we need to discuss that, too) and SRSLYWTF??!!??, I have FORTY THREE pair...
Pass the Tiara
Well, this should have been the Self Portrait Sunday post, but I took 8 pictures and every one of them sucked for one reason or another. Perhaps sitting on my bed fresh from the shower with a towel on my head is not the best look for me. I am mopey ...
My Wall of Happy
Last January, when I saw Aunt Lady, she told me a story of a man who had been a good friend to her and taught her very valuable things. I think she said he was a professional counselor and also a cousin. One of the things he told her was to find a ...
Self Portrait Sunday 7/19/2009
I have no idea why I look half drunk in this picture. I haven’t had a drop in three days, I promise. But the other three were even worse, so we’ll go with this one. This week, I have worked. And also worked. And had some coffee. And ...
Last flowers planted
Now that is a totally mundane title, but it does tell you exactly what this post is about. Yesterday, I planted the last flowers I intend to plant for the year. I moved Lantana from it’s middle of the yard outgrowth to a spot in the flowerbed...
What Are You Doing Here?
So, yesterday, I met a friend. Knowing that I am an avid blogger, he said, just a few minutes after we met, “Oh NO! I am going to read all about this on your blog, aren’t I?” I assured him not, because as you know I just don̵...
Self Portrait Sunday 7/12/2009
I totally just typed 2007 up there! Geez, Louise. Here’s what I looked like just a few minutes ago: I was sitting on my bed, chilling. I guess it has been so long since I posted that I ought to give you the week in review, huh? Monday, I w...
Dear So and So
Here in lies a collection of things I want need to get off my chest. Dear Customer, when I am assisting your wife in the store, don’t yell at her. It embarrasses us both and really makes me wonder if you are the cause of that split lip she has...
Self Portrait Sunday: Taking a Mental Health Day
This is an interesting picture of me, huh? All my lighting fixtures were off and I was just sitting in the glow of my laptop screen. I’m taking a mental health day today. I have some posts I need to write, and I have some jobs I need to do, ...
Things
Things I used to do: read write blog (not the same as writing) make stuff play with my kids take pictures have a clean house cook real food eat (instead of smoke) to regulate my blood sugar and moods exercise Apparently, someone gave diet pills to my...
Le Sigh
First off, let me offer an apology. I missed out SPS last Sunday for the first time in over 2 years of doing it. I left for Anson County around 7am and returned around 10:30 pm. It was a joyous day and I was so caught up in it that I forgot [...]...
Self Portrait Sunday 5/24/2009
Yep. someone touched the lens, but this was the best of the lot. I really need to look at the instruction book and figure this camera out! This has been an interesting week. And I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. I’ve been w...
3 weeks and 2 days
Hmm, I don’t even have a title for this post. Mostly because I have no idea what I am going to say. There, I thought of a title. It will work, I suppose. You know, one of my favorite things to say to my angsty friends is “take your h...
Aint it funny
how time slips away? Wasn’t that a song somewhere? I looked at the blog yesterday and realized I had gone over a week with no real post, only a couple of self portraits. It’s not for lack of blog fodder, I tell you. It’s lack of...
April 7 Handcuffed by heart
Today’s story is not about today, but rather about people in general, about human life as we live it. I happened to walk into my kitchen today to see the sun glinting off this set of handcuffs, and the image looked interesting so I grabbed the...
Good Morning
Here I sit, early in the morning, blogging. That feels weird, LOL! Not used to being up quite this early, at least at a functional level. I thought I might share a picture and a story with you. Last Sunday night, our church had a baptism. Now, w...
A little restrospective
So here I am again, posting from a computer in my house, with internet on and everything, How cool is that? Yeah, nifty. You may have noticed a lack of Project 365 posts lately. I’d been sending those from my phone to my gmail, and then aut...
February 18 Riding Free
So, I have mentioned before on this blog that I do love a motorcycle. I used to ride with my dad on his bike, and it is just such a …freedom. Wind blowing, seat vibrating, nothing but you and the road. And the back of your driver if you happ...
February 13 Happy Birthday DaBaby
This is DaBaby. She turned three on February 13th. How did I get to the place where my baby is three and there’s not a new one coming or even thought about? It’s not somewhere I thought I’d be even 18 months ago. OTOH, I’m pre...
February 9 Job Interview
On this day, four months after my husband quit his job, I had a job interview. That was kinda scary, since I haven’t worked a public job in 13 years. It has been suggested to me that I should go back to school, and one of the courses I am inte...
February 7 Good Times
On February 7th, I had our youth over for a wee party. We had pizza and wings and music provided by Guitar Guy. After Papa and Grandma died, my aunt and I were talking about the house they lived in. She mentioned that she wanted to build happy m...
February 5 Odd Jobs
Lately, I’ve been picking up odd jobs in order to generate a little cash flow. Some of them are fun and some of them are just odd. This picture represents one of the fun ones. I get happy every time I do it. Seriously, how can you look at all t...
February 3
And it’s off to school she goes. On the 3rd, I took Country to the local high school to find out what we needed to do to get her registered. And I cried like my baby was going off to kindergarten for the first time. Because she was. Except ...
February 2nd
February 1st was a Sunday, so we will let the SPS suffice for that. On February 2nd, just two short days after I washed my sheets, I was washing them again to accomodate this: If you can’t tell, it’s a twin mattress, set up on ru There&#...
Jan 31
Did you know that smell is the most evocative of the senses? It is powerful. My Grand-dad has been dead now 20 years, and he quit farming 10 before that, but if I smell a sun-warmed field, I am instantly moved back in time. I am young again, and he...
January 29
Love me some interesting pants, ya’ll. I went off with my friend on the 29th, and wore these pants for the first time. When I first got them, in a bag of hand me downs, they were almost too small. Now they are almost too big, so I wanted to ...
January 25
Some time ago, and I truly cannot remember how long it has been, God sent me a fleeting vision. In it, I was on the platform at church, singing, and GuitarGuy was to my right playing a red guitar, and I had such a feeling of perfect rightness in the ...

Day 21 Train
On the 21st, I got caught by the train, but let me start where I left off about the snow day. We got up after a four hour nap and went out to start the van, which began to suck amps like mad after making an audible POP when the cables were connecte...
