I’m feeling lots better today, thanksforasking. Turns out the antibiotic I’m on is the same one used for people who are exposed to anthrax. Although that makes me feel slightly strange, I guess it means this medicine gets down to business. To change the subject, I’m a big fan of ebay in case I haven’t […]
Are you on Instagram? Do you wonder how people get all those cool effects onto their photos? (In case you aren’t familiar with Instagram, it’s kind of like Facebook or Twitter but you use pictures for your updates.) I really resisted instagram for a long time. Mostly because it offended my artistic sensibilities that all […]
As you probably know, I live in Texas. I am in Austin and when Hurricane Harvey hit, aside from people creating a ridiculous gas shortage that was of their own devising, nothing much happened. There were copious amounts of rain and wind all weekend, and my brother–who was supposed to… Read More
Mister and I went to see a movie last night called When Did You Last See Your Father? starring the still-dreamy-after-all-these-years Colin Firth. It’s a small, quiet English film about a man and his father. The father is quickly dying of cancer, and Colin Firth spends most of the time reflecting about his relationship with this […]
Every once in a while Mister likes to psyche me out and pretend to have died. Hilarious, no? There was the time he was trying to fix our washing machine and got a gigantic shock. “The shock went up one arm and down the other,” he told me. I wasn’t surprised since that washer liked […]
Hmmm, Hobby Week was a little sparse. Maybe I should make this Hobby Fortnight. One of my hobbies is not putting pictures in my blog. It takes such a loooong time (say this in a whiny voice). It’s such haaaaard work. I tend to really procrastinate when I’m working on a post that is picture-heavy. […]
For those of you doing my preparedness plan, it’s time to get started. Here’s this week’s item.————–>>>>>>>>> When will you be going to the store? Put oats on your list! P.S. If you know anybody who may need a little help in the food storage department, invite them to come over to my blog. […]
If you have children you probably have quite a collection of DVDs. If you children are old enough to work the DVD player, they probably take them out and leave them lying all over the floor. That’s not just my kids, right? Perhaps one of our DVDs will make it out to the car and […]
Some of you may be disappointed that I’m not going to keep going with my story I started yesterday (you might want to scroll down and read it first). Partly because there’s not much more to tell (in a nutshell I was really sad. And then I got pregnant a few months later and had […]
I don’t know what it is about makeup but a lot of times I’ll find a product I really like, then a couple of months later I start searching for a new “holy grail”. (In case you weren’t familiar with this, the term “Holy Grail” is a term completely accepted… Read More
It’s time to get started with the grand kick-off of the 2014 Get Prepared-a-thon! In case you’re new to my blog, here’s what’s going on: as a Mormon I have been raised with the idea that I Must Be Prepared. For what, I’m not sure. But since most bad things… Read More
York is turning twelve tomorrow. I know! I can’t believe I have a boy who’ll be passing the sacrament! Just to make his birthday crappy, he got braces. He was pretty happy that I took a “during” shot: Happy Early Birthday York! He says he wants a Cookie-Cake for his birthday. Some sort of […]
I haven’t done much with Makeup Monday in a while because I really haven’t used anything lately that’s rocked my world. A couple of months ago I went up to Dallas for a conference and as I packed to leave, my kids came in and out of my room a jillion times and completely distracted […]
Finn is in baseball right now. Because we live in a warm place, little league is not just a summer thing. Nope. You can play in Spring and Fall too, if you are that dedicated crazy. If football is something your boy likes, he has a choice of flag or tackle; both are completely acceptable […]
