Before you get your knickers in a twist, I know that there is a blog out there called Things I Can’t Say. It’s written by fellow Carolina girl, Shell and I think she is an AMAZING writer. But her title was too good not to steal, or borrow, or imitate. It is the best form … Read more
I’ve got to admit that I had no less than 3 topics go through my head today for the writing prompt. What I ended up with is none of the three. I suppose that’s what happens when you finally clean yourself up and shove off to a party for a few hours. I come home … Read more
I had a birthday party today. Well, I didn’t have a birthday party. My 5 year old little boy had a birthday party and I played hostess. I thought to myself, no problem. He wanted a bowling party and I was more than happy to oblige. A little bit of cash would save me a … Read more
I often don’t think about the writing prompt I want to offer up until I sit down to write. But today’s prompt came to me while I was taking a bath. While I was soaking in our garden tub, my husband and son laid on the bed watching an old black and white movie with … Read more
I’m sure that Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. But in a way, I think we’re all affected by the change in seasons. Some people are summer people (which I can’t quite comprehend). I personally love fall and spring. Part of it is the mild temperatures but mostly it’s the promise of change. In … Read more
Can you believe it’s a week into the new year? It actually feels like longer. I couldn’t believe as I was reading through last week’s post that New Year’s Day was only a week ago. Maybe it’s because I’ve embraced the new year. I’ve actually started doing the things I want to do. I’m running. … Read more
My house is in total chaos these days. When we took it off the market, I breathed a huge sigh of relief in the form of complete and utter lack of housekeeping. Now that I have so much time what with the holidays and all, it’s time to get it back in order and back … Read more
I’m totally out of line today. I broke all the rules. I wrote for 10 minutes. I corrected a few typos so you wouldn’t get hung up on nonsense words. But I never went back and edited or proofread. And I’m adding in a few pictures. Not that that’s against the rules. And not like … Read more
I have an i problem. Not an eye problem but an “i” problem because every time I tried to type “I” it seemed to come out as “i” and in the true spirit of stream of consciousness, I left it. This week was a little busy and I only recently sat down to read last … Read more
One of the hardest things to learn as you get older is that you can’t be all things to all people. You can’t be the best daughter, wife, mother, and friend. You can certainly try but you’ll probably lose your sanity in the process. All you can do is be the best person you can … Read more
I wrote this post on Saturday night. If you read on, you’ll understand the frame of mind I’m in. In a matter of a few hours on Friday, I went from feeling hopeless and depressed about the non-sale of our house to having 3 showings scheduled for this week. From depressed to panicked. With a … Read more
I’ll be playing catch up this weel with quite a few posts. I’m working on some really cool projects that are sponsored by some major brands. It’s good for me and hopefully good for you. But I always wonder and worry if “my readers” (I say that like I own you), will get bored or … Read more
It’s a holiday weekend for those of us stateside (like how I assume I have a ton of international readers?) Yes, we are celebrating the birth of our nation. Meanwhile, I’m counting down until our foodfest begins and just waiting to hear how many idiots will start fires with their fireworks (we’re living in extremely … Read more
Surprise! I’m a little happier this week! Not that I have been miserable but I caught a little glimpse of my happy place today. A couple of glimpses actually. And now, I have that feeling that I crave on a regular basis. That feeling that everything is gonna be alright. *** Today, I saw the … Read more
Another Sunday, another post. I go into more detail in my brain dump below but I was going to wait and write this Sunday morning. Sunday is my husband’s birthday. I wanted to wake up on a Sunday morning and gush about him. I think I’ll do that another day when I can put more … Read more
I’ve had so many things buzzing around in my head as you can imagine. What with fabulous shoes to wear and give away and writing about my world travels. Yes, it’s been an exhausting week. But as I was getting ready to sit down, it wasn’t big lurking topics that popped into my head. It … Read more
