Loved Through It

My friend’s text message read, “I’m glad you loved through it!” That’s exactly what happened. I loved through it. Even if I thought it was going to kill me, I loved through it.

Havin’ a Party

My house is uber-clean right now. Every single thing is in its place.
As a favor to my cousin Ashton, I booked a Party Lite party when I was at hers. Well, the day of reconing ALWAYS comes, and I don’t want to have it. I didn’t invite many people and I am loathe to not [...]

Everybody Party Party!!!

I’m up and awake. It’s nearly midnight and I am on a mission.
My mom is retiring at the end of this month and I, LIKE A SILLY GOOSE, am throwing her a party the day before she would have had to go back to work, were she not retiring. That means January 5 is the [...]

Bangers and Mash

 
Rob purchased some sausages from the store last week. The front of the package read, “Classic British-style Bangers.” Of course this made us both laugh, and then, of couse, Rob’s mind went straight to the gutter. (OK mine went to the gutter too!)
Anyhoo… I have read quite enough British-themed novels that I know about Bangers and [...]

I Love Taco Bell

Did you know that I love Taco Bell? Not enough to eat the stuff 24/7, but I do crave it quite often. It’s just plain good.
Check this out:
90 Feet to Free Tacos in America
If a player on either team in the World Series successfully steals a base, Taco Bell is giving a free taco to [...]

No Comments? Really?

I am a bum. Really.
I’m supposedly so passionate about this CROP Hunger Walk that I have a total donation so far of….. zero dollars. I am so unmotivated this year. I am going to have to fork over $100 myself just to get my donation monies. How about if I start calling friends and relatives tomorrow, [...]

Wackadoodle

Word Games
I love to morph words. One of my favorites is a combo of Wacky and Cockamamie, and it’s this:
Wackamamie. [wack a MAY me]
I say it all the time. “Look at my hair today. It’s wackamamie,” or, “Oh my goodness. My sister just got this wackamamie huge raise,” or, “Rob, what kind of sandwich is that? [...]

Owlie

The header today is a picture of Charlie, my cousin Ashton’s younger son. His big brother Willie calls him Owlie, and we got to see them in full, sweet baby regalia that they are, last night.
We went to my folks’ house last night and there they killed the fatted calf, as it were. We had a [...]

Party Fixe*

Angelina has been my nail lady for 9 years and 11 months. It doesn’t seem like that long. I love her to pieces, though. She’s been such an amazing friend and confidante over the years. Angelina gave me an hCG shot in the booty last week, Thursday. She’s a beautiful soul to whom I can [...]

ARGH!! PARTIES!!!

I just got back from planning my mom’s retirement party with Aunt Laurel and Aunt Liesl. I am going to scream.
Had I wanted to be railroaded into becoming a caterer, I’d have certainly asked for it. Me? I wanted something simple. A few friends, a few neighbors, a few co-workers.
NOT  a huge blow-out.
My love for [...]

She’s Going Home

Mindy left a voice mail on my cell phone yesterday while I was at work and she knew the phone was off. I didn’t check it until today. She’s leaving and going back to her mom’s.
Rob and I let Mindy know when she moved in that it was a one-shot deal. She’s not bouncing in [...]

You are Amazing, God!

There’s a song by Chris Tomlin called “Indescribable” and here are the lyrics:
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them [...]
