Women’s Safety Tips for Conferences. My twin had a rough weekend because of a stupid jerk at her conference.

Bleh…

My brain is numb. All of this paperwork for the Fostering application process! All of the tears I have cried over the last few days regarding the maybe/maybe not situation.
 *sigh*
You know, American Idol is great for an brain that’s spinning in circles. You only have to pay attention for 5 minutes and you don’t lose [...]

The Price is Right

The sound seems a bit off, but watch anyway!

This is how I feel about my Christian walk. I get it wrong, and I get it wrong, and I get it wrong and I get it wrong… but then I make a right choice, or I listen to God’s urgings and follow [...]

No Free Puppy

Over a week ago, my Aunt Laurel’s friend gave me a piano. It was pretty and in fairly good condition, though horribly dirty. I got the piano on Tuesday, and began my lessons on Thursday. For one whole week I practiced on this piano which had sticky keys. It drove me nuts.
But as it turns [...]

Others May, You Cannot

Others May, You Cannot « Write At Home
This is a post from a friend @ Write at Home. It is very meaningful to me and I wanted to share it with you. It’s a cop-out post for me, I know, but I wanted to link to it because it’s something which is very well put. And [...]

New Day

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life….. and I’m feelin’….. good.
Good morning, all. I slept so wonderfully last night. I do have reason to celebrate that, because I was in such agony with hurting sinuses before I went to bed. I never thought I’d be OK again… and I so [...]

Good Good Morning

I have nothing about which to post here today… except that the sun is beautifully red as it’s rising. And the Lord is my shepherd. And I don’t have to work this weekend. And my husband is amazing. And my doggies are the best ever.
And we’re leaving on vacation to South Carolina in a little [...]

Loving Life

Brilliant sunlight, glittering snow, deep shadows, drifted road.
I’m at home today. It’s Wednesday, so that’s normal, but I’m staying home and that’s not.
I recently emailed a friend that I’ve lost some of my passion for blogging and for photos lately. I don’t really feel that bad about it, I just transferred some of my love [...]

Wednesday, Sweet Wednesday

Today is the first day I’ve had truly OFF work in a very long time. So what do I do? Go get groceries. And I just put them away. Now I remember I was going to see if I could find comfortable earbuds for my iPod, because the ones that come with it are unbearably [...]

Deep Fried Oreos

Oreos
OK so I did the unthinkable today. I, Jayleigh, who tries to eat semi healthy food, who eats her vegetables and stays away from  greazzzy junk food most of the time, and who eats her protein even if she really wants ice cream…. ate TWO deep fried Oreos today. And my tummy hurt afterward. And  [...]

The Kitchen Ceiling

What is it anyway, about the kitchen ceiling? It’s been driving me nuts because I didn’t paint it well the first time (nearly two years ago). I knew there was 1/2 a gallon of paint the same color in the attic. Rob fetched it and I just spent the better part of the last hour [...]

One Last Cry

With single digit temps overnight these days, everything is frozen. And snow covered, which means that Rob and I can breathe again! No outdoor allergies! Yessss!!!!
And my heart is on the mend. I’ve only felt like I couldn’t handle things a couple of times in the last week or so. So life goes on, right?
I’m [...]

Sparkly Snow

I got up and around this morning to work out, and saw one of my favorite things that I forgot I liked so well… SPARKLY SNOW!

By the way, I snagged this pic from somewhere. I didn’t actually take this photograph of Champagne Snow.
 Tonight as Rob and I were walking the dogs in the still unspoiled [...]

Feelin’ Better

I’m feeling a little better. Rob and I have to go back to the store we were at last night once more to get some items that weren’t in yesterday. And then we can put together our new closet organizer (in our nonexistent spare time!).
It’s now 10 PM. I went to bed and watched most [...]
