Decisions to be made!
I’ve been stalling, and here’s why: I have reached my media storage limit on this blog (hosted by wordpress.com) and I can’t decide what to do next. I could pay to increase my storage limit… but that seems like a short-term solution since I’ll just be back in this same situation after a while. The … Read more
Worry-wart alert.
Since I know you’ve all been waiting to hear how things turned out… I worried needlessly about the storytelling research paper. My professor never commented on the relevance of the subject and I got an A to boot. How do you like that? Does anyone else feel like the second you start worrying (a lot) … Read more
Hoosier Daddy?
Couldn’t resist. What’s an Indiana girl to say on Father’s Day, if not that? Happy Father’s day! Alright, that would’ve worked. I could write a long, involved post on my relationship with my dad, but in this instance, I have a little bit more to say about my husband – as a father to my … Read more
still writing. sort of.
Still writing. No zoo. The worst part? Once I decided that we weren’t going to make it to the zoo, today, I procrastinated even more because my entire day had opened up for writing. Except, it hadn’t, because I still have Vieve with me. So now I’m only four pages into a paper that has … Read more
Hiking… always hiking.
I had no idea that I get so hopelessly addicted to the woods once I got Vivo’s new carrier! Honestly, the days have been beautiful and it’s a free activity that we both love and that teaches her some new things every time we’re out. Win, win, win, win, etc. I have one paper … Read more
parent manifesto, n. A public declaration, explanation, or justification… of being a very certain sort of mommy.
Does anything beat stinky baby breath? I swear, Genevieve can have the raunchiest exhale in the known universe and all I can think is how wonderful she is. Two thoughts jump to mind: The rancid air must kill off so many brain cells that my sense of smell is eradicated and Why can’t I … Read more
More birthdays!
So far today, I feel thwarted. And so does Vieve. I got up, got going, got all of our hiking stuff together after a good breakfast, loaded up the car, and… my battery was dead. Blech. Jezra is supposed to be working in Nashville later today so he might come by and get me … Read more
These are a few of my favorite things…
I am so pleased that so many of you know how to identify near-perfect television programming! That post got me thinking bout the pleasures in life… both guilty and otherwise. Family, friends, and pets aside, I have a decent list of “the little things” that I enjoy on a daily basis. Here they are, … Read more
I have a (very) guilty pleasure.
I will confess now and then plead my case. I have been watching “Dawson’s Creek,” episode by episode, season by season, on Netflix. I know, I know. It started last week sometime and I’ve been a little obsessed with it since then… to the point where I need to … Read more
