    Week 34 [2021]

    August 30, 2021 - By 

    This post is a quick highlights for Week 34 (August 23-29, 2021), which was my week two of COVID. Even though I spent probably about half of everyday in bed, I still tried to get up and sit up in the living room and go outside to check on the garden. There have been so many spiders and their monstrous webs. They seem to find every walk way or pass through. These are some of the tomato plants that are planted in the in-ground overflow garden area. Look at my baby! These are his senior picture proofs.

    Week 33 [2021]

    August 23, 2021 - By 

    So this is how Week 33 (August 16-22, 2021) got started…a parking ticket while at work! Lovely! Let me back up and just say this last week was…Wow so many ways to describe this last week. The weekend going into last week, I wasn’t feeling well and with the week being super important, I had no time to have this sinus infection. I had a scratchy throat, congestion, headache (face felt swollen like when you have a sinus infection), terrible body aches. Sunday night I found a bottle of antibiotics that I never took, so I decided that I would…

    The Weekly [11.29-12.5.2020]

    December 7, 2020 - By 

    Last week was our coldest week so far this season. We survived and are thankful for a heated house! PICS & GOINGS ON I finished off this upgrade, I guess you could call it. These are Boy Scout popcorn tins that I have around the house that we use for little trashcans. I didn’t like the design on this one, so I painted it and put a ribbon with a chalkboard heart on it. We don’t really use the word rubbish around here, but I liked that word more than trash or garbage. Tuesday was our coldest day yet. Lows…

    Auburn University Graduation Festivities

    September 1, 2020 - By 

    I wasn’t sure what call this post, because it wasn’t technically a commencement for Drew. However, its as a close as we’re gonna get to a ceremony. He got all dressed up (for pics mainly) and wore his cap and gown. We got to go into the stadium and he got his name up on the big screen in Jordan Hare stadium, which does not happen during a normal commencement. Watch as he soaks it all in and gets to the center where they call his name. No one to greet him or give him a folder with the Auburn…

    August 28, 2020 - By 

    For those that may not have seen recent posts, my older son, Drew graduated from Auburn University earlier this month with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration (Marketing). I’m finally able to sit down and start writing these graduation weekend posts! The first party was Friday night we had a come and go (physical distance – but not really) party out in the front yard of our house for anyone wishing to come by and wish Drew congratulations. It was hot, but we survived. Here’s the set up. For food, since COVID we just did prepackaged snacks as you…

    Loving Life During Quarantine

    June 11, 2020 - By 

    The other day I was thinking back through the last 11 weeks of ‘quarantine’ and all of the good that has come from this. Yes, there has been ups and down and scary times and unknown future for so many, I can’t dwell in the negative. My headspace needs to hover in positivity as much as possible. I believe it’s been. I have found so many blessings from having this time to slow down and just be. To enjoy family and enjoy doing these we don’t often take time to do. I want to remember this time so I’m sharing…

    Getting Out of Town for Georgia Reopening during COVID

    May 12, 2020 - By 

    This last week, Rob and I took Thursday and Friday off because it was the end of the time when our work allowed us to take off without actually using vacation. We bounced the idea around of going up to the North Georgia Mountains and staying in a VRBO. However, there was something that just really made me hesitant, so we plan to do that later. Instead the fam treated me and allowed me to decide what I wanted to do…pretty much the entire long weekend! And if you know me, you know making decisions even the smallest ones bring…
