when i think about my childhood…some of my greatest memories involve honey. she sewed my dresses…from my very first christmas dress to my senior year christmas dance dress. she was always present. she was at every birthday, every thanksgiving, every christmas, school plays, church plays, and would come for weekend visits from beaumont. we would […]
Friday, I took a much needed day off to partake in the annual tradition of the Nutcracker Market that is held downtown. Every year…my mother, my grandmother and I go. It has become my favorite way to kick off the Holiday Season every year. It is always the same weekend in November and I get […]
you know those days…were you step foot out of the bed and before an entire hour has passed…you feel like you have been awake for 2 days straight and have tackled enough messes to last those 2 days…and then some? well…this has been the story of my sunday morning up until this point. i think […]
so… you know how you’re not supposed to “drunk-text?” well…i’m pretty sure that applies to blogging as well. but…alas, here i am…willing to pour out my heart just because i poured a small glass of wine. ok. so i guess…that doesn’t classify this as a “drunk” post. but a “timpsy” one? well…probably not even that. […]
in an effort to help me out…chad changed all of my settings and a bunch of other “stuff” so that i could easier upload, store, and deal with my pictures. the result… i can’t find any of them. it’s ok. normally i would be going out of my mind with frustration and irrational thoughts of […]
i remember halloween as a kid. i remember the magic of it. there was no question that the community would come together. every child was included…no matter their age. everyone participated. most porch lights were lit, right along with the candle in their jack-o-lantern. around the same time every year…the question from mom would come. […]
this was one of those weekends. you know the ones. where you’re left feeling like you really made fun use of your time. when everything just clicks and works out. i love those days. **** this little scenario in colt’s notebook was starting to make me twitch a little. he had papers falling out all […]
my most favorite birthday wish this year came in the form of an e-mail from a friend out in south carolina. i don’t get the pleasure of seeing her all the time…or even often…however i just know we would have a great deal of fun together if we could. just think back to clemson days. and weird box social […]
when i was little…my birthday was like a national holiday, as far as i was concerned. and my family…well they went right along with me and made me feel like for that day…on october 24th…i was the only thing that mattered in the world to them. maybe that’s not so good…or maybe it’s great. i’m […]
is it already wednesday night? how is that even possible? i have been a little un-plugged these last few days. it’s been nice, i guess. wait. i’m lying. i’ve missed writing. but…sometimes it just can’t be helped. like when your husband takes your computer charger with him to cuba in order to give it away.
