    Where I Am From

    September 16, 2006 - By 

    I am from paper clips, from Paper Mate and Cross Pens. I am from the the red brick house with white metal window shades, shaggy red and blue carpets, orange and lime tile, and moth ball odors. I am from the Ivy, Marigolds, and pine cones. I am from the Oak trees, Pansies, and Cloves. I am from big Christmas traditions and round rosy cheeks, from Wells and Dennis and Harris. I am from the calm, cool, and collected and understanding, sensitive, and forgiving. From “Your hair is so pretty” and “Education is your top priority”. I am from the…

    Appetizer What was the very last song you listened to? Uhhh…not sure! Soup What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from? Circuit City…It’s a LONG story! Salad On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made? After 2 kids and about 50 pounds, I’d say a 5 and the only reason it’s that high is so that when people look at pictures they know the “mom” exists in my kids life!

    Your Questions Answered!

    September 2, 2006 - By 

    Lisanne asked: 1] What are your thoughts about autumn quickly approaching? Do you enjoy fall? What are your favorite fall activities? Well, fall may technically start Sept. 21, but here in the South it won’t ‘feel’ like fall until later October. Nevertheless, I love fall. I love making fall crafts and the cool weather when it finally decides to show up. I also enjoy Auburn Football. I love candy corns and scarecrow decorations, too. 2] How would you spend today if you could do absolutely *anything* you wanted? That’s actually a very hard question!

    I have what?

    August 24, 2006 - By 

    Yesterday I went to the doctor, because I’ve had the sinus issues. I was pretty sure I had a sinus infection, which it turned out I did and also the beginnings of an ear infection. While I was there, doc was asking me about my neck and I told him the symptoms I have had in the last few months. He said I have Fibromyalgia, so I’ll be going on a cocktail of medications next week to hopefully help things. Wish me luck.

    Snake Adventures

    August 23, 2006 - By 

    Today Drew was outside in the front yard and saw this rat snake in our flower bed. He later caught it. He put him in this container and we ooed and awed at him. We decided to take pictures of Drew holding the snake, but the closest thing we got was the pic in the middle. Right after I took that picture, Drew brought him up higher with his other hand and the snake bit him!! The snake is now sleeping on my kitchen table in this plastic container. Yes, I’m actually sleeping in the same house as a snake.…
